Taking Your Super Bowl Advertisements Local
So, what does this mean for advertisers hoping to capitalize on the excitement around the Super Bowl?
Running a national advertisement on air during the Super Bowl is notoriously expensive. However, using Ubimo’s fan insights, brands can connect with an engaged and excited audience locally, making their campaigns successful and effective. For example, Costco attracts loyal Chief fans. Costco can bring Chiefs fans to the store to stock up on wings or beer before the game by creating targeted advertising and promotions in the Kansas City area that promote the Super Bowl. Providing tailored messaging enhances and deepens the customers relationship to the brand, while driving sales.
