Why is reaching the most possible mortgage holders critical to the success of an advertising campaign conducted by a bank, credit union, or mortgage company?

Reach, according to a study by Nielsen, is crucial to the success of any advertising campaign. After the message itself, for an advertiser, the number of different people exposed to a message has the greatest effect on sales increases.

Reach, it turns out, is more important than branding, recency, targeting, and context when it comes to driving sales results.
