Have you ever wondered why there's so many food commercials?
1. I am a fsh with no i's.
2. You must be wearing Zubaz, 'cause you're daring to be different.
3. I am a man with 3 fingers...but that doesn't count my index finger nor my thumb. |

Well, I'm thinking that a little over 50% of commercials advertise food directly, or use food in the sale of their product. I believe this is a perfect strategy for selling things to Americans, as most are food crazy. I believe that I have never bought anything based on a TV commercial I have seen. Do other people run out and buy a Whopper after seeing it on a commercial? Does the advertising really pay off that much? Why do companies such as Coca Cola, McDonalds, and Pepsi even bother advertising anymore, especially at Super Bowl time? Ninety-five percent of the country already knows these products, does the millions of dollars of advertising really generate that much more sales? People already know the food choices they have. So, what I'm asking, is anyone going out to buy these products based on the commercial itself?

Yes they do. The fact of the matter is that advertisers are concentrating on one aspect and one aspect alone...the amount of people that are reached by their advertisement. Traditional marketing and advertising is not quite dead like most people think. However, the consumer is in much more of a position of control than before. Products such as Tivo have given the consumer more of an ability to demand and deny. Currently, most advertising agencies and marketing researchers are attempting to take back the influence they have lost by utilizing gorilla marketeting or experiencial marketing tactics.

Cal and Josh... this is an interesting conversation. You both have very execellent ideas. I agree that one factor as you both pointed out that since food still has "mass appeal" tv is a great medium. I think another reason why there are so many food commercials is that food is such an impulse item that it is more effective way to drive purchase.
I guess some final reasons are: (a) that because there is soo much food advertising and noise out there food marketers must spend more to stand out from each other (b) it's pretty easy to show the benefits in 30 seconds vs. a more complex product. (Can you tell I am a marketing geek??)
It kinda grosses me out tho how many food commercials there are... after awhile it makes me sick... like those Arby's chicken salad commercials....it just looks gross after the 2nd or 3rd time you see it!
This is fun...
So what is the meaning of life? |

| Chislic has not been conducting himself as a gentleman, and I need to point this out to show you all the real Chislic . . . the sinister one, not the lighthearted gadfly of this board. Last night, he completely bailed on plans to spend a quiet romantic evening with his roommate, ShaunWestphal, at a certain romantic show which shall remain nameless. Shaun has alerted me about this development in his relationship with Chislic, and I think that we all need to recognize that Chislic has zero credibility. Sorry, Chislic. It needed to be said, and I don't plan to take it back. Treat your roommate with more respect. |

Thanks for sticking up for me Passion. You know, I'm over the fact that we didn't go to the show. I mean, if the Pixies can reunite, I'm sure Jake and Lou will decide a second Sebadoh reunion is in order. It's not like it was a once in a lifetime chance to see them. I guess it would have been nice to see them at least once considering I never caught them back in the day. Either way, the real issue is Chislic's credibility. My absence from the board of late has been in part due to most of my time being spent reading and re-reading all of the previous posts to this thread (and some before). The more I read, the more I think Chislic really is the Realist. If this is true, I have to give props to the Chis-man, you really had me going. I don't have the time, or the patience right now (due to my missing the Sebadoh show last night) to give you all the details of my investigation. Said details are however, available upon request. Of course I would appreciate any input anyone would like to give...
