TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, February 6, 2012

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Did everyone enjoy the Super Bowl yesterday? I went over to my aunt's house for the big game and visit with my family. To be honest, I could care less about football, but I do love Super Bowl Sunday for the food, beverages, and of course, the ads. I found an article on webprofacts.com that included some fun facts and statistics about Super Bowl ads. Check them out below!

Enjoy!
Melissa

RANDOM TIDBITS
In last year's ads, commercials that did not feature celebrities as a main point did 9.2% better than those which did.

Ads with animals did substantially better than ads with celebrities, performing 21% better.

Just 5 of the ten least effective ads last year that featured celebrities were Groupon's ad featuring Timothy Hutton, Lipton's ad featuring rapper Eminem, GoDaddy.com's ad featuring Joan Rivers, SalesForce.com's ad starring Will.I.Am and Stella Artois' commercial featuring Adrian Brody.

Automotive brands such as Chevy, Ford and Dodge are typically one of the most effective advertisers. Last year, Volkswagen's "The Force" ad was the top automotive ad being 10% more effective than the average ad.

Internet brands, statistically, have never fared well. Half of the top 10 least effective Super Bowl ads featured dot.com names.

The major theme of last year's game was "Made In America." Half of the top ten ads featured companies such as Dodge, Ford and Chevy.
