What You Need to Know About Super Bowl Retail Promotions

  ·        Copyright restraints keep retailers from promoting the Super Bowl by name.  Most make general references to "the big game".

 ·        Old El Paso, Hidden Valley and Ortega are just some of the brands showing nearly four times as many ads for Super Bowl week compared with an average week.

   ·        For many small brands, Super Bowl week defines their year.  Brands such Amoy, Cardiff Cellars, Jim's Organic and Poppers advertise more than 50% of their yearly  circular ads during Super Bowl week.

 ·        Other brands decide to go all in on FSI coupons.  Newman's Own, Cape Cod Chips run their only coupons during Super Bowl week.

  ·        Super Bowl TV ads are not coordinated with retail promotions.  Many food TV spots have no connection to retail circular ads.

  ·        Retailers downplay their private brands for the Super Bowl.  Super Bowl week traditionally ranks dead last in private brand ad support.
