1- It’s recession-proof
In the months leading up to Super Bowl XLIII, there has been much talk about large corporations backing out of spending millions of dollars on Super Bowl commercials due to the economic climate. This isn’t the case for all businesses, however. The popular ads shown during the big game come in just 30-second snippets, but are always popular due to the number of viewers taking in the game. NBC is selling approximately 67 time slots at up to $3 million each, depending on when in the broadcast the commercial is aired. Major companies not advertising this year include General Motors and FedEx, but Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Anheuser-Busch, Monster.com, General Electric, and GoDaddy.com are all on board.
