Super Bowl Ads – Worth the Cost? Shanna Carrow Amy Wilson
Advertising and Money • Goal of advertising: Make the product memorable • Companies spend a lot. Do they get a return? • Super bowl ads: $3.5 million dollars for 30 seconds • Concern: Commercials don’t impact long-term memory
Long-Term Memory • “Since repetition is the foundation of consumer memory, companies just might be better off with 10 $300,000 commercials than one $3 million commercial” – Judith Austin • What creates a long – term memory: • Repetition • Senses • Emotion
Repetition • Use catchy slogans or jingles that consumers will repeat on their own • Jingles – Oscar Mayer • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqenc937hN4 • Meow Mix • Free Credit Report.com • Slogans: Subway – Eat Fresh • Five dollar foot long
Senses • Emotional commercials – positive vs negative • Remember both positive and negative • Paris Hilton – Carl’s Junior ad (negative) - 2005 • Doritos – Positive • Humor increases memorability (Judith Austin) • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpjaOUjUPUc
Take Away • Advertisements that are remembered are the repeated ones • Also, the funny ones • Same company, different commercials • Budweiser • Smaller companies – is it worth it?
What’s Your Opinion? • Jingle? Humor? • What commercials impact you the most? • Who will win the super bowl? • Who is mad about the 49ers?
