image over time rather than motivat<strong>in</strong>g an immediate purchase. For now, most metrics estimate the<br />

number <strong>and</strong> characteristics of consumers who get exposed to the message, while <strong>in</strong> some cases focus<br />

result <strong>in</strong> the desired action. Media companies <strong>in</strong> the television, radio, magaz<strong>in</strong>e, <strong>and</strong> newspaper <strong>in</strong>dustries<br />

to decide where to place their dollars.<br />
