Reach: The Number of People Who Come in Contact with Your Message

Reach: how many people come into contact with your message.
Now that we know why we would want to use a consumer behavior model, let’s start understanding the RAECS model. The first phase of the RAECS model is Reach.

You don’t have much of a chance to form a business relationship with them because they don’t know about your offer yet. Your message hasn’t reached them yet.
