Ever thought the Super Bowl was too costly to advertise with? Well, today is your lucky day as the price for a single thirty second spot in one of the most watched events has dropped as low as $2.5 million. This would be just the second time in the event's history that the Super Bowl took a decrease in ad sales, after last year's record average price of $3 million (2007 was the previous year with a drop).
With heavy hitters like Pepsi, FedEx and General Motors not buying ads this year, it means your business can blow the budget for the next fifteen Christmas parties for the opportunity to be featured for 30 seconds in front of nearly 100 million Americans.
Just think of the possibilities: your company could be the next big thing.
