If you’re focused on brand awareness and visibility, then CPM advertising (Cost Per Thousand Impressions) is your go-to model. Unlike PPC, CPM charges you based on how many people see your ad—not how many click it. On platforms like Adscity, CPM is ideal for businesses that want to build recognition quickly.

What Is CPM Advertising?

CPM stands for Cost Per Mille (Thousand Impressions). You pay a fixed rate for every 1,000 views (impressions) of your ad, regardless of whether people click on it or not.

✅ Example: Your ad costs ₦2 per impression. For 10,000 impressions, you pay ₦20,000—even if only a few people click.

How CPM Works

1. You set a CPM bid: Decide how much you’ll pay for every 1,000 impressions.

2. Your ad is displayed widely: Across multiple publisher sites in Adscity’s network.

3. You build brand exposure: The more your audience sees your ad, the more familiar they become with your brand.

When Should You Use CPM?

1. Brand Awareness Campaigns

If you’re launching a new product or business, CPM is perfect for getting your name seen widely.

2. Retargeting Audiences

Show ads repeatedly to warm audiences to build trust and recall.

3. High-Visibility Promotions

CPM works great for seasonal offers, events, or public announcements where exposure is key.

CPM vs PPC: Which Is Better?

• CPM: Best for visibility and awareness (you pay for views).

• PPC: Best for clicks and conversions (you pay for actions).

Smart advertisers often combine both—start with CPM to build recognition, then switch to PPC to drive actions.
