What do target rating points (TRPs) adjust for?

The amount spent on advertising media
The percentage of the audience that sees an ad
The audience that matches the advertiser's target demographic
The frequency of an advertisement in general media

The correct answer is: The audience that matches the advertiser's target demographic

Target Rating Points (TRPs) measure the effectiveness of an advertisement in reaching a specific target audience. The key focus of TRPs is to reflect the percentage of the target demographic that is exposed to the advertisement. By adjusting for the audience that aligns with the advertiser's intended market, TRPs provide a more accurate representation of how well the media plan is performing in terms of connecting with potential customers. This metric allows advertisers to assess whether their advertising is effectively reaching those consumers who are most likely to respond positively to their messaging, thereby maximizing the potential return on investment for the advertising spend. While considerations such as advertising spend, overall audience reach, and frequency are integral components of a media strategy, they do not specifically capture the precision of how many individuals within the desired demographic are seeing the ad. The emphasis on the target audience makes this choice the most aptly aligned with the fundamental purpose of TRPs.
