Vad är CPM (Cost Per Mille)?
Snabbdefinition
CPM (Cost Per Mille) är en prismodell inom annonsering där annonsörer betalar per 1 000 visningar av sin annons, ofta använt i varumärkeskampanjer.
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.
Varför det spelar roll
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.
Verkliga exempel

A B2B software company compares CPMs across platforms: LinkedIn at $35 but with decision-maker targeting vs. Facebook at $8 with broader targeting, choosing LinkedIn for better qualified impressions
A local restaurant uses Facebook reach campaigns at a $6 CPM to ensure their weekend brunch promotion is seen by 50,000 people in their area
A real estate developer runs premium display ads on luxury lifestyle websites at a $25 CPM, accepting the higher cost for the quality and relevance of the audience
