- gross impressions
- The total of all the audiences delivered by a media plan.
- gross rating points (GRPs)
- The total audience delivery or weight of a specific media schedule. It is computed by dividing the total number of impressions by the size of the target population and multiplying by 100, or by multiplying the reach, expressed as a percentage of the population, by the average frequency. In television, gross rating points are the total rating points achieved by a particular media schedule over a specific period. For example, a weekly schedule of five commercials with an average household rating of 20 would yield 100 GRPs. In outdoor advertising, a 100 gross rating point showing (also called a number 100 showing) covers a market fully by reaching 9 out of 10 adults daily over a 30- day period.

- hierarchy of needs

- Elaboration Likelihood Model
- A theory of how persuasion occurs due to promotion communication. Psychologists Petty, Cacioppo, and Schumann theorize that the method of persuasion depends on the consumer's level of involvement with the product and the message. When consumers have a higher level of involvement with the product or the message, they will tend to comprehend product-related information, such as product attributes and benefits or demonstrations, at deeper, more elaborate levels. This can lead to product beliefs, positive brand attitudes, and purchase intention. On the other hand, people who have low involvement with the product or the message have little or no reason to pay attention to it or to comprehend the central message of the ad. As a result, direct persuasion is also low, and consumers form few if any brand beliefs, attitudes, or purchase intentions. However, these consumers might attend to some peripheral aspects of the ad or commercial—say, the pictures in the ad or the actors in a commercial—for their entertainment value. And whatever they feel or think about these peripheral, nonproduct aspects might integrate into a positive attitude toward the ad. See also central route to persuasion and peripheral route to persuasion.

Whatever they feel or think about these peripheral, nonproduct aspects might integrate into a positive attitude toward the ad.
