The guys from the Blimp are trying to get some Superbowl ads on local Fox affiliates.
In their own words:
It made no sense to spend 2.3 million dollars on a Super Bowl commercial that will air nationwide in places like Michigan or Florida where people have already voted.
Instead, we have developed a plan to target potential Ron Paul voters during the Super Bowl at a significant discount. We are in the process of selecting and securing time slots for a Ron Paul Super Bowl commercial to run in upcoming Super Tuesday states that Ron Paul is most likely to benefit from.
Although we do not want to disclose our specific markets at this point, (no need give our competition our complete strategy) you can assume that we will not be advertising in Super Tuesday states such as Utah or Arkansas. Once we get closer to the game we will post an exact schedule of when and where they will air. The individual ad buys range in price from one to several thousand dollars. To give you an example of what type of magnitude we are talking about, for $100,000 we can reach around 5-6 million viewers who are in important Super Tuesday states.
As stated, we have already reserved ad time in some markets, as space is very limited and we didn't want to lose it. We must act fast to make this a success. In some markets we are finding that ad time during the game is sold out, so we are getting rates for the Pre and Post Game, which are still seen by about 70-90% of the people who watch the actual game.
What we need from you is a commercial and the advertising dollars.
They have already got 11 reservations confirmed but they can use a few more. Donate if you can, this could help a lot! Or even suggest/make a commercial for them!
