LinkedIn Newsletter vs. Posts: Which Grows Your Audience Faster

The question comes up in nearly every LinkedIn content audit we run: newsletter, or just post more? The answer turns on one variable most advice skips. Your follower count. Below roughly 2,000 to 3,000 followers, a sharp post still wins on raw reach. Above it, the newsletter pulls away and keeps pulling.

LinkedIn Newsletter vs Posts: The Reach Numbers at Each Follower Tier

Two formats, two delivery systems. A feed post enters a ranking auction where LinkedIn decides how many of your followers deserve to see it. A newsletter edition enters a notification queue where the only question is how many people subscribed. In the content audits we run for B2B teams, this debate almost never gets settled by arithmetic, and the arithmetic settles it fast. Most of the disagreement in the room is about effort and voice and whether long-form is worth it. Almost none of it is about the delivery mechanics, which is the part that decides the outcome.

Start with what a post gets. Personal profiles reach 5 to 12% of their followers per post under the current algorithm, based on third-party practitioner benchmarks from 2025 and 2026. Company pages average around 1.6%. Those figures describe the end state, not the starting position. The algorithm first tests a post against 2 to 5% of the author's network, watches the early response, and expands distribution only if the signals hold. Posts that stall in that first hour rarely recover: roughly 5% of underperformers ever reach a broader audience. Every post you publish runs that gauntlet again from zero, with no credit carried over from the last one.

A newsletter edition skips the gauntlet. On publish, LinkedIn sends push, in-app bell, and email notifications to 100% of subscribers, and LinkedIn's Help Center documents this as the standard delivery path rather than a promotional perk. There is no test cohort. There is no first-hour scoring window that decides whether 2% or 12% of your list gets told. There is no content quality gate sitting between you and the people who asked to hear from you. Whatever your subscriber count is, that is your delivery count. The variable that determines reach moves from the algorithm's judgment to a number you can influence directly.

One practitioner who grew to 11,000 newsletter subscribers reported the split plainly. A standard post reached 600 to 800 people, roughly 5 to 7% of their follower base. A single newsletter edition notified all 11,000. That is a 14 to 18x reach multiplier for the same underlying audience, produced by nothing except which publishing surface the content went out on. This is one person's reported experience rather than a sampled benchmark, and the multiplier belongs to that subscriber tier specifically. The shape of it matches what we see whenever an account with a mature list puts the two surfaces side by side.

Delivery is not attention, which is where open rate enters. LinkedIn newsletters average 40 to 50% open rates, with 42% the most-cited aggregate figure across third-party benchmark sources including Socialinsider and Oktopost 2026 data. Standard email newsletters average about 21%. The doubling is real. It is also the most misused number in this category, because it describes one channel, the email notification, at one point in a list's life. We come back to it later in this guide, because treating 42% as a permanent target is how people talk themselves into believing a healthy newsletter is failing.

None of this means every account should publish a newsletter. Below roughly 2,000 to 3,000 followers, the arithmetic flips. A post with a strong hook still reaches a meaningful absolute number of people, while a new subscriber list starts near zero, so guaranteed delivery to a small group loses to probabilistic delivery to a larger one. The failure pattern we see most often is the empty-room launch: an account starts a newsletter well below that threshold, publishes weeks of careful long-form work to a list that barely grows, and concludes the format does not work. The format works. The timing was wrong.

The comparison worth running is not reach per post against reach per edition. It is reach per hour spent. A newsletter edition costs more to produce than a post, and that production cost stays roughly fixed no matter how large the list gets, so the ratio improves every time the list grows and degrades every time feed reach falls. Both of those variables are currently moving in the newsletter's favor, which is why the threshold that made sense two years ago is not the threshold that makes sense now.

The Notification Stack That Feed Posts Cannot Match

Three notifications fire on every publish: an email, a push notification to the mobile app, and an in-app bell notification. All three go to every subscriber. LinkedIn's system deduplicates delivery so a subscriber does not get the same edition announced three separate times in the same minute. The point of the stack is coverage across whichever surface that person happens to use, not volume. Nothing in that path consults the feed ranking system, which is the single mechanical fact that explains most of the reach gap between the two formats.

Compare that with what a feed post goes through. The post is shown to a small slice of your network, 2 to 5%, and the response inside the first hour decides its fate. Dwell time, comment depth, and early reshares feed a score. If the score holds, distribution widens. If it does not, the post is effectively finished, and only about 5% of posts that underperform in that window ever recover into broader distribution. The practical consequence is uncomfortable: your post's ceiling is usually set before most of your followers have opened the app that day.

The bypass is worth stating precisely, because half the guides on this topic overstate it. A newsletter edition is not ranked before delivery. That is the claim, and LinkedIn's own documentation supports it. An edition can still pick up feed distribution on top of the notification send, and it often does, but that pickup is additive rather than a precondition. The notification goes out either way. Nothing about a slow first hour reduces how many subscribers were told the edition exists.

In February 2025 LinkedIn added email send count and email open rate to newsletter analytics. Before that, creators had impressions and engagement counts, both of which blend feed-sourced views with notification-sourced views and tell you nothing about how many inboxes the edition landed in. The addition separates two things that were previously fused: delivery and discovery. Send count is a delivery number and should track your subscriber count almost exactly. Open rate is an attention number. Reading them together tells you which half of your funnel is moving.

That distinction kills a specific misdiagnosis we run into often. Call it the impression-count misread. A creator sees newsletter impressions flat or falling month over month, assumes reach is collapsing, and starts cutting the edition length or chasing feed-friendly formatting. Then send count comes in and it is climbing steadily with the subscriber list. Delivery was never the problem. Feed pickup was shrinking while notification reach grew, which is a different problem with an opposite fix. Before the metrics update, that mistake was almost impossible to catch.

The notification stack has a second-order effect most guides miss entirely. When a member follows a creator who runs an active newsletter, LinkedIn automatically sends that new follower a subscription invitation. No manual outreach, no prompt in the post, no setup step to configure. The practical consequence: any post that goes viral and spikes your follower count also spikes your subscriber count 24 to 72 hours later. We have watched accounts treat that pattern as coincidence for months before noticing the lag is consistent enough to plan around.

Guaranteed delivery is a floor, not a ceiling. It removes the ranking layer as a variable, which is genuinely valuable when feed distribution is deteriorating. It does not make anyone open the email, read past the first screen, or remember your name next week. Everything downstream of the notification is still won or lost on whether the edition is worth the click. The stack buys you the audience. It does not buy you their attention.

Posts With Links Already Start at a 60% Reach Deficit

Posts containing external links receive approximately 60% less feed distribution than posts without them, a finding that shows up consistently in practitioner analysis including Richard van der Blom's 2025 Algorithm Insights Report. The mechanism is not mysterious. LinkedIn's ranking system optimizes for time on platform, and a link is a request to leave. The penalty lands on the post's distribution rather than on the link's clickthrough rate, which is why the post can look perfectly healthy to an author reading only their own comment section.

Newsletter editions carry no equivalent penalty. Because delivery is notification-driven rather than feed-ranked, an edition containing several outbound citations reaches the same 100% of subscribers as an edition containing none. You can cite four sources, link a report, point at a tool, and include a signup, and the send count does not move. That asymmetry is one of the more consequential differences between the formats and one of the least discussed, probably because it is invisible unless you publish both regularly and compare the numbers.

This should change how you route content, not just how you feel about it. Anything carrying sources, references, a report worth citing, or a destination you need people to reach belongs in an edition. Anything that can make its full argument inside the post itself belongs in the feed. The common workaround, dropping the link into the first comment, reduces the penalty but adds a click and splits the reader's attention across two places. It is a patch. The newsletter is the structural fix, and it is available to anyone whose content already justifies long form.

The format is well past early-adopter territory. LinkedIn newsletters hold 500 million total professional subscriptions across the platform, spread across 28 million unique members who subscribe to at least one. Subscriber growth has been running at 150% year over year. Those are platform totals rather than a signal about your particular list, but they settle the question people ask before starting: is anyone reading these things? Enough people are that the inbox is now a competitive surface rather than an empty one.

The same data carries its own counterweight. The average subscriber follows about 17 newsletters. Seventeen sets of notifications, arriving on seventeen different cadences, competing for the same attention your edition needs. The link-penalty exemption gets your edition delivered. It does nothing to get it opened. We see the misread constantly: a creator migrates link-heavy content into the newsletter, watches send count reach 100% of subscribers, and quietly starts treating delivery as readership. Those are different numbers and only one of them predicts anything.

The failure pattern here has a recognizable shape. Call it the link-dump edition: content that moved to the newsletter purely because the newsletter does not punish links, with no editorial reason for a subscriber to open it. It gets delivered to everyone and read by almost nobody. Because the send count looks healthy, the author keeps producing them, and the open rate slides while the subscriber count keeps ticking up. The exemption is a distribution advantage. It is not a content strategy, and it does not survive contact with a reader who has sixteen other newsletters waiting.

At What Follower Count Does a Newsletter Start Outperforming Regular Posts?

The practical inflection point sits around 2,000 to 3,000 followers for most niches. Below it, a post with a strong hook still reaches enough people in absolute terms that the production overhead of a weekly edition is hard to justify against the alternative of simply posting more. Above it, guaranteed notification reach starts compounding faster than feed reach, and the gap widens rather than stabilizing. This is not a hard boundary and it moves with niche and posting quality, but it is close enough to plan around.

The reason the gap widens is that feed distribution per follower gets worse as accounts grow. Large accounts often see roughly 3 impressions per 100 followers, against about 16 for accounts under 5,000 followers. Your percentage reach falls as your audience grows, so the follower count on your profile becomes an increasingly poor predictor of how many people will read your next post. A newsletter has the opposite property. Every subscriber added is a subscriber notified, permanently, with no decay from list size.

The 11,000-subscriber example makes the divergence concrete. That practitioner's posts were reaching 600 to 800 people, roughly 5 to 7% of their follower base, which is within the normal band. Their editions notified all 11,000. Nothing in that comparison required better writing on the newsletter side. It required a delivery surface where the number of people reached is a function of who subscribed rather than a function of how the first hour went. At 2,000 followers that difference is modest. At 11,000 it is the whole game.

Company pages face the steepest version of this. Page posts average around 1.6% follower reach, against 8 to 12% for personal profiles, so a page needs roughly an order of magnitude more followers to reach the same number of humans. Meanwhile 98% of LinkedIn's top 100 newsletters are authored by individuals, not pages. Read those two facts together and the conclusion is awkward for brand teams: the accounts with the most to gain from the newsletter format are the ones least represented among the newsletters that work. The fix is usually to put a named person on the masthead rather than the logo, and to accept that the person is the distribution asset.

Follower count alone is the wrong threshold anyway. What matters is the conversion rate from followers to subscribers. An account with a modest following and a high conversion rate is in a stronger reach position than a much larger account whose subscriber list stayed thin, because the first one can notify most of its audience on demand and the second one is still asking the algorithm for permission. When we audit accounts, the follower-to-subscriber ratio is the number that predicts newsletter performance, and it is almost never the number the team is tracking.

The threshold is also drifting downward, because the comparison's other side is eroding. Feed post views are down roughly 50% year over year and follower growth is down about 59% year over year across 2025 and 2026. As the feed delivers less, the follower count at which guaranteed delivery becomes the better bet keeps falling. Advice written against an older, more generous feed will tell you to wait longer than you should. Document and carousel posts remain the strongest feed format at 6.6 to 7.0% engagement, but strongest-in-a-declining-channel is a narrow kind of win.

If you want to test the threshold on your own account rather than trust a range, the check takes one publishing cycle. Note your median post reach over your last several posts. Note your subscriber count, or your realistic subscriber count if you started today, which for most accounts is a fraction of followers and not a majority of them. If guaranteed delivery to that subscriber number already beats your median post reach, the newsletter is the better surface for your best work. If it does not, keep building followers and start the newsletter when it does.

What LinkedIn Newsletter Audience Growth Guides Get Wrong About Open Rates

The 40 to 50% open rate benchmark is real and phase-dependent, and almost every guide citing it omits the second half. New newsletters hit that range routinely, because early subscribers are self-selected. They found the newsletter, decided they wanted it, and clicked subscribe deliberately. Lists that have scaled beyond 5,000 subscribers commonly settle at 25 to 35%. The strongest open rates show up in the first 3 months and then drift down as the list matures. Nothing broke. The composition of the list changed.

The mechanism behind the drift is the same automatic invitation that makes subscriber growth easy. LinkedIn sends subscription invites to new followers of newsletter authors, so a meaningful share of any mature list consists of people who accepted an invite in passing rather than people who sought the newsletter out. Those subscribers count toward send count and dilute open rate. This is a fair trade, not a defect: you get a larger notified audience in exchange for a lower percentage of it opening. Confusing the trade for a failure is the expensive part.

On engagement, the format's trajectory is clear. Newsletter engagement rate rose from 4.48% in January 2024 to 5.76% by March 2025. That figure outperforms image posts at 4.85% and polls at 4.40%, and it sits above the platform-wide average of 5.20% measured across 1.3 million posts published January 2024 through December 2025. A format that beats the platform average while also guaranteeing delivery is unusual, and it is the strongest single argument for the newsletter that does not depend on your follower tier.

LinkedIn reported a 47% year-over-year increase in newsletter engagement in 2024, and that number gets misused more than any other in this category. It describes the format's growth across the platform. It is not a target, a benchmark, or a projection for your account. We have sat in reviews where a team held their newsletter to a 47% growth expectation because a slide deck implied it was achievable, then cut a working publication for missing a number that was never about them. Format-level trends and account-level benchmarks are different species of number.

The correct benchmark depends on which phase your newsletter is in, and the phases want opposite metrics. In the growth phase, track new subscribers per edition. That is a growth signal and it tells you whether your acquisition path works. In the mature phase, track open rate stability and per-100-subscriber reach trends over time. Those are retention signals and they tell you whether the content still earns the click. Retention data supports the second phase being real work: about 72% of subscribers remain after 6 months, which means roughly a quarter churn out and need replacing.

The failure pattern is what we call the open-rate panic. A creator watches open rate slide from the low forties into the thirties while their subscriber count doubles, concludes the content got worse, and either cuts publishing frequency or rewrites the format entirely. Both moves make it worse. Absolute opens went up. The denominator grew faster than the numerator, which is exactly what a healthy growth phase looks like. Multiplying open rate by subscriber count before reacting would have caught it, and almost nobody does that math before making the call.

One more thing most advice conflates: open rate measures the email channel specifically. Subscribers who read editions through the in-app bell notification or stumble into them in the feed do not register as opens. So the number is a partial view of readership rather than a complete one, and it understates engagement on accounts whose audience lives in the mobile app. Treat it as a directional signal about email-channel health, not as a verdict on the newsletter.

Newsletter and Posts Are a Two-Stage Funnel, Not Competing Formats

Running both formats together produces a timing asymmetry that neither format shows on its own. A companion feed post published 24 to 48 hours before an edition, teasing the argument without giving it away, consistently drives 15 to 30% more new subscribers per edition cycle than newsletter-only publishing. The post is the acquisition vehicle. The edition is the retention and depth vehicle. Practitioners who publish editions with no companion posts plateau on subscriber growth noticeably faster, because they are relying entirely on passive acquisition.

The reason the companion post works is that it addresses a different audience than the edition does. Subscribers are already going to get notified, so the post is not for them. It is for the portion of your followers who see feed content, have never subscribed, and need a reason today. A teaser that states the question the edition answers, without answering it, converts that group at a rate a generic promotional post does not. The post that says read my newsletter performs like an ad. The post that poses the problem performs like content.

Passive acquisition runs underneath all of this without any action from you. Because LinkedIn automatically sends subscription invitations to new followers of newsletter authors, any post that spikes your follower count spikes your subscriber count 24 to 72 hours later. Once you know the lag exists you can use it deliberately: publish the kind of post that reliably grows followers, which usually means data-heavy carousels, polls, or a genuine opinion, and expect the subscriber bump to arrive two to three days behind the follower bump.

Fatigue is where the two formats stop being interchangeable, and it is more specific than most people assume. Subscribers who receive more than one edition inside a 7-day window show accelerated unsubscribe rates starting around the third edition. The same subscribers receiving daily feed posts from the same author show no equivalent churn signal. The fatigue attaches to the email notification channel, not to content volume. People will absorb a great deal of you in the feed. They will not absorb three emails from you in a week.

That gives you an unusually clean operating rule. Post cadence can stay high, up to daily, without touching newsletter retention. Newsletter cadence must stay weekly or slower. Weekly is what 59% of LinkedIn's top 100 newsletters do, and 45% of all newsletters, so it is both the most common and the most defensible choice. Weekly also keeps each notification a predictable event rather than an interruption, which is the difference between a subscriber who anticipates your edition and one who has learned to swipe it away.

A working weekly sequence looks like this. Post on the feed several times through the week on whatever your normal cadence is. Two days before the edition, publish the companion post that raises the question. Publish the edition on the same day each week so the notification becomes a habit rather than a surprise. After it goes out, pull one section of the edition and publish it as a standalone feed post for the followers who never open email. Same content, three surfaces, one production cycle, and no week where two editions ship.

The failure pattern here is the catch-up double publish. A creator misses a week, feels behind, and ships two editions in the following seven days to get back on schedule. That is the exact behavior the unsubscribe data punishes, and the damage is not symmetrical: the subscribers you lose are gone permanently while the missed week costs you nothing lasting. Skipping a week is free. Doubling up to compensate is not. When a week gets away from you, take the skip and publish the next edition on its normal day.

How to Build LinkedIn Newsletter Subscriber Growth from Your Current Audience

Subscriber growth starts with a mechanic you do not have to build. LinkedIn sends subscription invitations to new followers of newsletter authors automatically, which means every post engineered for follower growth doubles as a subscriber acquisition post with a 24 to 72-hour lag. The formats that reliably grow followers are data-heavy carousels, polls, and posts that take a real position on something contested. Document and carousel posts also happen to be the strongest feed format at 6.6 to 7.0% engagement, so the acquisition play and the engagement play point the same direction.

If you operate a company page, this matters more, not less. Page posts reach around 1.6% of followers against 8 to 12% for personal profiles, so the feed deficit you are working against is the steepest on the platform. And 98% of LinkedIn's top 100 newsletters are authored by individuals rather than pages, which tells you where the format's gravity sits. The pattern that works is a named author writing under their own profile with the brand present but not fronting, then the page amplifying. Fighting that pattern from a logo account means competing at a permanent structural disadvantage.

Eligibility is less restrictive than most teams expect. Company pages need a minimum of 150 followers to create a newsletter. Personal profiles have no minimum threshold at all since the Creator Mode requirement was removed in 2024. Each account can maintain up to five newsletters simultaneously, which is a limit almost nobody should approach. Every additional newsletter splits your subscriber base and multiplies production overhead against the same audience. One newsletter published reliably beats three published erratically, and the second one is usually a symptom of an unresolved positioning argument.

Three levers compound if you run them together. First, engineer follower-growth posts knowing they convert to subscribers a few days later, and check your subscriber count against your follower spikes so you learn your own conversion pattern. Second, publish a companion teaser post 24 to 48 hours before each edition, which drives 15 to 30% more new subscribers per cycle than publishing the edition alone. Third, add the newsletter to your profile's Featured section so every profile visitor, including everyone who checks you out after an engagement, sees a direct subscribe prompt instead of a wall of past posts.

Measure the right thing for the phase you are in. In the early stage, new subscribers per edition is the number that matters. It tells you whether your acquisition mechanics work and it responds within one cycle to changes you make. Open rate at that stage is close to meaningless, because a small self-selected list will flatter you. Later, when growth slows and the list matures, open rate stability becomes the signal worth watching. Optimizing for open rate during the growth phase leads people to publish less and promote less, which is precisely backwards.

The thing to hold onto across all of it: these are not competing channels and the budgeting question that frames them as such produces bad answers. Feed posts acquire. Newsletters retain and go deep. The feed is deteriorating, with post views down roughly 50% year over year and follower growth down about 59%, which makes the acquisition half harder and the guaranteed-delivery half more valuable than it was a year ago. If you are above the 2,000 to 3,000 follower threshold and publishing anything long-form into the feed, you are paying a distribution tax for no reason.

We build tooling for LinkedIn content operations, so our bias is worth stating: we would rather see teams publish one weekly edition and a normal posting cadence than adopt anything more complicated. The sequencing above requires no software. It requires knowing that the notification path bypasses ranking, that the email channel is the one that fatigues, and that the automatic subscription invite turns your follower growth into subscriber growth on a predictable delay. Most of the accounts we audit are already producing enough content. They are routing it to the wrong surface.

Frequently asked questions

Does a LinkedIn newsletter reach more people than a regular post?

Yes, for most accounts above 2,000 to 3,000 followers. A newsletter edition triggers push, in-app, and email notifications to 100% of subscribers, bypassing the feed algorithm. Feed posts typically reach 5 to 12% of followers for personal profiles and around 1.6% for company pages. The newsletter's guaranteed delivery becomes the stronger reach vehicle as the gap between your subscriber count and typical post reach widens.

Does a LinkedIn newsletter bypass the LinkedIn algorithm?

Yes. LinkedIn newsletter delivery is notification-driven, not feed-ranked. When you publish an edition, LinkedIn sends push, in-app bell, and email notifications to every subscriber. No engagement test window applies, no early-hour scoring determines distribution, and no content quality gate filters the send. LinkedIn's own Help Center documents this delivery path, confirming it operates separately from the feed ranking system.

Do LinkedIn newsletter subscribers get notified by email every time you publish?

Yes. LinkedIn sends an email notification to every subscriber on each publish, alongside a push notification and an in-app bell notification. The system deduplicates delivery so subscribers are not spammed across all three channels at once. LinkedIn added email send count and email open rate as trackable metrics in February 2025, giving creators direct visibility into delivery and inbox engagement for each edition.

What is the difference between LinkedIn followers and LinkedIn newsletter subscribers?

Followers see your posts in their feed when the algorithm surfaces them. Newsletter subscribers receive a direct notification every time you publish an edition, regardless of algorithm behavior. A follower is not automatically a subscriber; they become one by clicking Subscribe or by accepting LinkedIn's automatic subscription invitation. You can have 50,000 followers and only 2,000 newsletter subscribers, which is why subscriber growth requires deliberate effort separate from follower building.

At what follower count should I start a LinkedIn newsletter instead of just posting?

The practical inflection point is around 2,000 to 3,000 followers. Below this, feed posts still reach enough people in absolute numbers that newsletter production overhead is difficult to justify. Above it, feed distribution per 100 followers declines sharply: large accounts see 3 to 5 impressions per 100 followers vs. 12 to 16 for accounts under 5,000. That is when newsletter notification reach becomes consistently stronger than what a standard post delivers.

Should I start a LinkedIn newsletter if I only have a few hundred followers?

Probably not yet, unless your goal is to learn the format before you need it. With a few hundred followers, a newsletter edition might notify 20 to 50 subscribers, while a well-crafted post could reach a similar or larger absolute number. The newsletter's advantage is guaranteed notification delivery, and that advantage is small when the subscriber base is small. Focus on follower and connection growth first; start the newsletter when you cross 2,000 to 3,000 followers.

Is a LinkedIn newsletter better for SEO than a regular post or article?

LinkedIn newsletter editions are indexed by search engines and can appear in Google results, similar to LinkedIn articles. Regular feed posts are generally not indexed. However, neither format matches a purpose-built website guide for SEO performance; LinkedIn pages compete for authority on a domain you do not control. If SEO is a primary goal, publish the core content on your own site and use the newsletter edition to distribute a version or summary to your subscriber base.

How do I get my first 1,000 LinkedIn newsletter subscribers fast?

Three mechanisms drive early subscriber growth. First, publish content designed to grow your follower base (data carousels, strong opinion posts, polls that attract shares); LinkedIn automatically sends subscription invitations to new followers of newsletter authors 24 to 72 hours after they follow you. Second, publish a companion teaser post 24 to 48 hours before each newsletter edition without revealing the full content. Third, add your newsletter to your profile's Featured section so every profile visitor sees a direct subscribe prompt.

Should I run a LinkedIn newsletter AND regular posts at the same time?

Yes, and the two formats work better together than either does alone. Feed posts handle subscriber acquisition: strong posts drive follower spikes, which trigger automatic subscription invitations. The newsletter handles depth and retention. A companion post published 24 to 48 hours before each edition drives 15 to 30% more new subscribers per cycle. The key constraint is newsletter cadence: publish more than once per week and unsubscribe rates accelerate. Post cadence can stay high without affecting newsletter retention.

Is it worth starting a LinkedIn newsletter if I can't export the subscriber list?

Yes, with a realistic expectation of what you are building. LinkedIn does not allow subscriber list export, so your subscriber base is platform-dependent. But the reach mechanics still favor the format: 100% notification delivery, 40 to 50% open rates for new newsletters, and engagement rates above the platform average. If your goal is LinkedIn-native audience building and B2B visibility, the inability to export the list is rarely the deciding factor compared to what the format delivers on reach.
