Super Bowl Commercial

[mhad]

Should we/RevPac consider a superbowl commercial in select local states (not the national 1M+ commercials)? My understanding is that local channel commercials during the superbowl are not very pricey..... Im thinking IA, NH, SC, etc.....? Something very edgy like most superbowl commercials. Thoughts?

No, waste of money.

Who knows? There is a lot to be decided between now and then.

[mhad]

No, waste of money.

Do you know how much it will cost?

No but campaigns dont typically adv. On that date because its not cost effective

Agreed. I say let Obama run a see owl ad then attack him for wasting money in time of economic crisis.

Incidentally, this is also the 100,000,000,000,000th thread here on this 'Ron Paul Super Bowl commercial' subject.

Football is the most popular sport in America. Couldn't hurt if they have "extra" money.

[Cleaner44]

Waste of money. Those same funds spread out for repeated commercials during the NFC and AFC Championships games would be more productive. People need time to absorb messages. One superbowl commercial does not do that. It is a very, very common mistake.

Money could be better spent.

I guess that the since there have been no presidential ads in the superbowl, it would be noteworthy & it would probably get more news stories from the MSM specifically about it which would end up being show multiple times for free. It would also give us the air of financial strength that we could spend 3 million bucks on a 30-second ad that would be seen by a billion people. A bonus afterwards is to have a post-superbowl moneybomb that could bring in another 3 million just to rub it in the other candidates faces.

Not to mention, in areas with strong college conference play, college games would bew as good and you'd get all ages viewing.

The NFL does not allow ANY political commercials during the Super Bowl. this has been covered every year since 2007 on this forum Case closed. Done. Gone. Over.

Since one of the main criticisms of Ron Paul is that he's out of the mainstream, a really brief Superbowl ad where there is a captive audience could be persuasive. This is one of the only times when groups of people are together and actually watch the commercials then discuss them.

For example, think of this 15-second ad:

<black screen>
<sound of thousands chanting "Ron Paul! Ron Paul">

<chanting continues throughout as, white words in the RP font appear across the pure black screen>




Millions of grassroots Americans paid for this ad.


<words fade and are replaced...>




It was expensive.


<words fade and are replaced...>




They support a man of ideas who's time has come.


<new words appear beneath the above phrase>




And believe you will too.


<fade back to black>
<audible blast as the pure white Ron Paul campaign logo slams against the screen>




RON PAUL
Restore America Now


<continued sound of thousands cheering "Ron Paul! Ron Paul!">
<end of ad>

We'd only except unique maximum donations of $0.99 per person to guarantee that millions paid for the ad and to make the inevitable talked-about backstory of the ad even more interesting.

The ad would be so short with such a unique backstory that it would be replayed and discussed on every news network.

And with millions of 99-cent donors, there would be no denying that Ron Paul is mainstream.

It's something to consider.

I should have read this before proposing my idea.

[John of Des Moines]

Why not contract with both Super Bowl quarterbacks to say right after winning, "I'm going to vote for Ron Paul" a la the old "I'm going to Disneyworld."

This.

As for any other Super Bowl related idea, please remember that should be the time we are all in "win the primary" mode. It will be much too late by the Super Bowl for most people to change their party or become delegate-eligible by then.

College Football matchups are the way to go if they are allowed. It would probably be cost effective to run an ad in most major conference matchups by region. These would run from late August to December.

I'm pretty sure we can get a blimp and fly it over the Super Bowl for less!
