Super Bowl VS. Facebook and Google
For the second year in a row, the Super Bowl has set a record for American television viewing.
The Nielsen Co. said that an estimated 111 million people watched the Green Bay Packers outlast the Pittsburgh Steelers in professional football’s ultimate game in 2011. That tops the 106.5 million who watched the 2010 game between New Orleans and Indianapolis.
The average cost of a 30-second Super Bowl ad is $3 million. That’s $6 a minute.
Research conducted by Randle D. Raggio professor of marketing at the University of Richmond in Virginia helps to chart the ROI (Return On Investment). Based on their calculations,
-
Snickers would have to sell 6,329,406 candy bars to pay for a $3 million ad.
-
Bridgestone would have to sell 298,656 tires.
-
Skechers (SKX) would have to sell 205,339 pairs of shoes.
Cheap and expensive are relative terms. But, most of us can agree, $3 million for 30seconds of airtime is fairly expensive.
