Qué es CPM (Cost Per Mille)?
Definición Rápida
CPM (Coste Por Mil) es un modelo de precio en publicidad en el que los anunciantes pagan por cada 1.000 impresiones de su anuncio, muy usado en campañas de brand awareness.
CPM stands for "Cost Per Mille" (mille is Latin for thousand). It represents how much an advertiser pays for every 1,000 times their ad is displayed. If a campaign has a $10 CPM, the advertiser pays $10 for every 1,000 impressions.
CPM is the standard pricing model for brand awareness campaigns where the goal is visibility rather than direct clicks or conversions. Display advertising, video pre-roll ads, social media reach campaigns, and programmatic advertising typically use CPM pricing.
CPM rates vary dramatically based on the platform, audience, and ad format. Facebook CPMs average $5-15, LinkedIn CPMs are $20-40 (reflecting a more valuable B2B audience), and premium website placements can range from $10-50+. Video ads generally have higher CPMs than static display ads because they're more engaging.
To calculate CPM: (Total Ad Spend / Total Impressions) x 1,000. To estimate campaign cost: (Desired Impressions / 1,000) x CPM Rate. For example, if you want 500,000 impressions at a $10 CPM, the cost would be $5,000.
Por Qué es Importante
CPM is essential for planning and evaluating brand awareness campaigns. While CPC and CPA measure direct response, CPM measures how efficiently you're reaching your audience. A lower CPM means you're getting more eyeballs for your budget.
Comparing CPMs across platforms and campaigns helps you allocate your advertising budget more effectively. If LinkedIn has a $30 CPM but reaches your exact B2B decision-makers, it may be more cost-effective than a $5 Facebook CPM that reaches a broader, less relevant audience.
