CPI Meaning

What is CPI?

Cost Per Impression (CPI) is a pricing model in advertising where the cost is calculated based on the number of impressions, or views, an advertisement receives. In a CPI model, advertisers pay each time their ad is displayed on a user's screen, regardless of whether the user clicks on the ad. This method is typically used when the primary goal is to increase brand visibility and awareness, rather than driving immediate action such as clicks or conversions. To calculate CPI, you would divide the total cost of the advertising campaign by the total number of impressions it generates. This measurement helps advertisers understand the expense involved in gaining visibility and is crucial for managing budget allocations in brand-focused advertising strategies.
