Gallop Math Model

The Gallop Math Model is an industry accepted arithmetic formula that has been in use for over 40 years. It assumes a constant Reach across a display period equal to the average DEC of a schedule of locations.

The formula is:

Reach    =  Daily GRP’s x No. of Days
              Frequency

Frequency  = Daily GRP’s x No. of Days +  2 (for AdDisplays and AdBenches)
         100

Where Daily GRP’s = Average DEC / Market 18+ Population
