reacharrive

Reacharrive is a term used to describe a framework and set of practices that align the reach of a marketing campaign with the later arrival of users at a defined outcome, such as a purchase or signup. The concept tracks the number of distinct individuals exposed to an element of a campaign (reach) and the moment they complete a desired action (arrival), along with the time lag between exposure and conversion. It emphasizes both early exposure and timely conversion.

Origins and scope: The phrase has appeared in industry discussions and vendor materials since the 2020s as a descriptive concept rather than a single standardized product. There is no universally adopted specification; practitioners often tailor reacharrive frameworks to fit their data platforms, attribution models, and privacy constraints.

Key components and metrics: A reacharrive framework typically combines reach measurement with arrival metrics, including time-to-arrival distributions, arrival rate, and cross-channel attribution. It relies on cohort analysis, event sequencing, and predictive modeling to estimate how quickly exposed users move toward a defined outcome and to forecast future arrivals under different budgets.

Applications and benefits: Marketers use reacharrive to optimize media planning and budget allocation across channels, improve campaign timing, and benchmark performance by comparing reach with arrivals. The approach supports scenario testing and helps align top-of-funnel exposure with bottom-of-funnel conversions.

Limitations and considerations: Effective use requires high-quality, privacy-compliant data and robust cross-channel integration. Models may be sensitive to attribution choices and data gaps, and misinterpretation of lag effects can lead to misguided optimization.
