			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Super Sunday is approaching and this year the buzz is all about the Super Bowl advertising. Last year I did a post on <a href="http://www.mikeodom.name/2007/02/01/super-bowl-facts" title="Super Bowl Facts">Super Bowl facts</a> before the big football game. This year I want to look at the advertisement and the big buzz of what the ads will be like. There are a few super bowl ads sneak previews out there and here I have posted some of the available videos giving us a pre game look at what halftime will bring in 2008. 2.7 million dollars in advertising has been spent by big companies to get to the super bowl this year and while none of the ads are made to make you drop what you are doing to run out and but their product, it is more about brand recognition.</p>
<p>Of course one of the biggest advertiser to hit this mark would be Budweiser. Even if you do not drink beer, you know the name from the super bowl ads. Therefore, if you ever decided to have a beer, what do you think you might ask for? I think you might go for a Bud or bud light. Brand recognition is definitely what Bob Parsons, CEO of Go daddy is shooting for his his version of super bowl advertising. On <a href="http://www.bobparsons.com/" title="Bob Parsons">Bob&#8217;s blog</a>, he generates a great deal of excitement about the ads with his readers long before super Sunday. In the past, Parsons has put the rejected ads out for everyone to see to draw in new traffic. This year the approach is a little more on the it is a secret side of the dial. Bob is only allowing a small pinch of the video to be seen and then promising that all 3 ads will be available to be viewed online on February 3rd. While most super bowl advertising shoots toward humor, Bob Parsons uses sex to gain brand recognition. Indy race car driver <a href="http://www.danicaracing.com/" title="Danica Patrick">Danica Patrick</a> might not be a super model, but the Go daddy super bowl ad &#8220;<a href="http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/media/play.asp?isc=biggame08&amp;mediaID=spoton&amp;ci=11473&amp;tab=racing">exposure</a>&#8221; makes her look like one and the ad as well as the ads from previous super bowls are all on one <a href="http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/superbowl05/landing.asp" title="Godaddy super bowl ads">landing page</a>. But now it is time for a commercial break and a word from some parrots? Watch the super bowl ad below</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mikeodom.name/2008/01/29/super-bowl-ads-halftime-break"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>Yeah right. Just an example of the ads that we laugh at and talk about for a week after the game. Speaking of talking about the ads, You Tube has set up a page where the ads will be shown again and you can vote for your favorite super bowl ad <a href="http://www.youtube.com/adblitz">here</a>. One thing for sure, most people watching the game will get up to go to the bathroom before half time. No one wants to miss those super bowl ads!<br /><p>Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/super+bowl+ads" rel="tag">super bowl ads</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/media" rel="tag"> media</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/advertising" rel="tag"> advertising</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/blogs" rel="tag"> blogs</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/super+bowl" rel="tag"> super bowl</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/video" rel="tag"> video</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/halftime" rel="tag"> halftime</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-left: 20px">With the approach of Super Bowl this weekend, I thought I would post some interesting game stats. These stats are not for the football game, rather they are statistics surrounding the super bowl and how it effects the media.</p>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 20px">Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts sports merchandise have seen a dramatic rise in retail sales this year.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px">More women are drawn to the Indianapolis Colts<br />
than the Chicago Bears. Data show that 59% of Indianapolis women are Colts fans,<br />
vs. 46% of Chicago women who are Bears fans.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px">The 2006 Super Bowl was the highest rated TV show<br />
of the year, attracting more than 90 million U.S. viewers.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px">The cost for a 30-second TV advertisement reached<br />
an all-time high in 2006, while traditional advertiser categories continued to<br />
dominate the broadcast.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px">Super Bowl advertisers in 2006 saw a sharp<br />
increase in visits to their web sites following the big game.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px">Album sales of the Super Bowl halftime performers<br />
soared in the week following their appearance in the halftime show.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px">Box office figures continue to plunge on Super<br />
Bowl Sunday.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px">Sales of soft drinks, beer and chips rise<br />
significantly before the Super Bowl.</li>
</ul>
<p>Comparing last year&#8217;s Super Bowl food preferences in the two markets that are<br />
home to this year&#8217;s teams &#8211; Chicago and Indianapolis &#8211; there are some noteworthy<br />
similarities and difference between the two cities. Looking at the largest<br />
overall percentage of sales increases, both markets showed strong sales growth<br />
in cocktail franks and processed cheese loaves. However, Chicago area<br />
supermarkets showed strong growth in sales of frozen unbreaded crab,<br />
refrigerated fruit, dip mixes, and dairy dips; while Indianapolis area<br />
supermarkets experienced bumps in the sales of &#8216;Miracle Whip&#8217; type salad<br />
dressing, frozen hors d&#8217; oeuvres &amp; snacks, brownie mixes, and bratwurst<br />
&amp; knockwurst.</p>

<p>A consumer segmentation analysis from the marketing company Spectra revealed<br />
some of the unique characteristics of Super Bowl viewers from Miami,<br />
Indianapolis, and Chicago compared with national professional football fans.<br />
Utilizing Spectra&#8217;s BehaviorScape framework, viewer characteristics can be<br />
determined based upon BehaviorStages (which bring to life key household factors<br />
that impact consumer purchasing behavior), and LifeStyles, (which further<br />
differentiate consumers by highlighting affluence and the neighborhood type in<br />
which they live).<br />
For instance, most viewers of professional football across the U.S. typically<br />
watch on the weekend one or more times per month, and tend to come from affluent<br />
neighborhoods from a variety of household types. They span across all<br />
neighborhood types and tend to skew toward couples 35+ without children in the<br />
household as well as singles under 35 with no children. Popular Super Bowl<br />
snacks that skew highly across the average US viewer are bags of nuts, brats,<br />
popcorn, and frozen poultry.<br />
Super Bowl viewers in the host city of Miami watch the game on TV live in<br />
both urban and affluent suburban households across household types.<br />
Indianapolis residents who watched the Super Bowl last year generally come<br />
from rural and downscale suburban neighborhoods. Additionally:<br />
&#8211; Indianapolis viewers purchase above average amounts of sausage, buns,<br />
and brats than the average viewer.&#8211; Indianapolis viewers are likely to do their grocery shopping (possibly<br />
for Super Bowl snacks) at Wal-Mart, Aldi, or Kroger.</p>
<p>&#8211; There is also a very high concentration of Super Bowl viewers who are<br />
likely to shop in smaller accounts such as IGA and Buehler&#8217;s Buy Low.</p>
<p>Chicago residents who watched the Super Bowl last year likely live in urban<br />
and affluent suburban households across household types. Additionally:</p>
<p>&#8211; Viewers in Chicago tend to purchase more bagged nuts, beer, frozen<br />
poultry and meat than the average viewer.</p>
<p>&#8211; Chicago viewers are likely to do their grocery shopping (possibly for<br />
Super Bowl snacks) in Dominick&#8217;s, Trader Joe&#8217;s, and Whole Foods.</p>
<p>There is also a very high concentration of Super Bowl viewers who are likely<br />
to shop in smaller accounts such as Wild Oats and Sunset Food Marts.</p>
<p>So by the numbers, it looks like on Super Bowl Sunday Americans prefer to eat tortilla chips, drink light beer but regular soda throw some frozen steaks and chicken on the grill while munching on cocktail franks. It appears that there is a toss up in dipping your tortilla chips on eating prepared nachos. Either way we seemed to have consumed over 10 million dollars in tortilla chips and drink over 17 million dollars worth of beer washing them down.</p>
