Daily Sales Tip: Use Common Sense When Dealing with Metrics

A graduate student at an east coast university called RAB's Member Response team to ask what metrics agencies use and if there is a minimum reach before they would consider buying an audio stream.

If the audience is engaged in the content, less reach is required.

No matter what metrics you have prepared to present, make sure your story includes common sense for each advertiser's unique marketing objectives.
