Beyond CPM: Why Regional Health Plans Should Rethink ROI
When it comes to digital advertising, cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM) has long been a fundamental metric for measuring efficiency. But for regional health plans operating in smaller, high-value markets, CPM doesn't always tell the full story—and in many cases, it can actively mislead. Too often, regional health plans try to match the CPM benchmarks of national campaigns—targets that work at scale, but not in smaller, niche markets. That's why it's time to shift the conversation from cost-efficiency to value-efficiency and build media strategies designed for smaller, high-value audiences.
