Record Viewing Figures

Obviously we think promotional products are the best way for organisations to get their message across. But I have to begrudgingly admit, there are other avenues too. This year’s Super Bowl has become the most watched television broadcast in US history, attracting a US audience of over 106 million people.

According to audience ratings agency The Nielsen Company, yesterdays 44th Super Bowl between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints on CBS broke a 27-year record, held by TV comedy Mash, which pulled in 105 million viewers.

Here in the UK, a respectable 800,000 people stayed up and watched the Super Bowl live on BBC1. If you think there are too many ads on British TV, then don’t bother tuning into American TV. Of the nearly 60 ads shown during Monday’s game, a BBDO-created Snickers spot topped a USA Today poll of America’s favourite commercials.

Before you give up ordering your promotional Sparta mugs, bare in mind these ads don’t come cheap. The cost of a 30-second commercial was approximately $3.01 million. This excludes production costs and fees for actors, equipment, ad agencies, directors, crew and other personnel. In 2009, NBC sold out all the advertising spots for record revenue US $2,600,000!

Introducing the Diner Mug

The kings of the promotional mug world are without a shadow of a doubt ‘The Mugstore’. They don’t just let any old mug into their pedigree range you know.

The recent addition to their branded mug family is the ‘Diner Mug’. The promotional ‘Diner’ mug is a heavy duty, no-nonsense promotional mug for those who mean business. The only drawback is that you will probably have to be on performance enhancing drugs to be able to lift it.

Let’s Get Patriotic

 Tomorrow is England’s national day, so I will wish you a happy St George’s day in advance. Unfortunately people are more likely to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, rather then St George’s day by doing what they know best - getting drunk.

Despite St George being our national patron St, it is unlikely that he ever even visited England. It’s even more unlikely that he even slayed any dragons! The legendry St George was apparently a heroic Roman solder, who protested against the Roman’s torture of Christians. In the end the Roman’s didn’t appreciate his empathy, and he died for revolutionary liberal beliefs.

If you want to show some national pride, wear a red rose in a button hole, and order the St George promotional mug from the Mugstore!
