    You didn't say "please". Sounds like you want us to do your googling - is this homework?

    What does TCPM stand for? I understand CPM very well, but I don't think I'm familiar with TCPM.

    If this is a homework assignment, you should know we don't do homework here.

    I think you need to check your spelling. I can find a few examples of what TCPM is, mostly in the chemical industry. That isn't going to help you much, is it? Either that or ask your lecturer what he meant when using the acronym.

    No. Here's why: as a student, it is your job to learn, not to copy and paste your answers from other people. Yes, this means you doing some work, making an effort, and getting off your butt. Harsh? Yes. Helpful? In the long run, yes: even more than you imagine. It's your inquiring mind that will get you a job, not your unwillingness to put in the effort required to bring about a result.

    Actually I have a small business and was doing some research on what is the best way to advertise and this was something I was having a hard time figuring out. Don't worry I wont be back to this site for advice again!

    If you have a small business, you need to be very clear about your targets - not the methods of targeting them. That kind of strategic thinking will weed out acronyms without you needing to question them first.

    Just my two ct.

    I would like to say that TCPM stands for Target Cost Per Thousand, but is only referred to as TCPM. I know this because I am in an advertising and sales promotion class, and this is one of the questions on a discussion board which requires us to answer questions, and respond to fellow classmates. It's actually written verbatim. Good luck, kid. Do your homework.

    While "Target Cost Per Thousand (TCPM)" appears on class discussion boards (someplace) It isn't quickly found in a google search from the US. However, CPTM does appear as follows:

    "CPTM is "cost per thousand targeted" ad impressions, apparently implying that the audience you're selling is targeted to particular demographics."

    For all practical purposes CPM, TCPM and CPTM are all the same since they all involve targeted programs. It's a question of how narrowly the audience is being targeted.

    CPNTM - cost per thousand narrowly targeted. (sorry couldn't resist).

    We always called that "target audience CPM."
