Key Findings on Super Bowl Promotions
Top promoted Super Bowl categories include in-store deli platters, dips, and condiment
Many of the top promoted brands are ingredients for home-made dips, salsa and chili.
Walmart’s Pre-Super Bowl circular included more promoted products than any week outside of Nov-Dec.
Private Label share of food ads drops to its lowest level for the Super Bowl.
Very few CPG players run Super Bowl TV spots
- 4 traditional CPG companies in 2011 vs. 8 in 2010
Super Bowl TV commercials can drive spikes in internet searches – but only for a week or two.
In many cases, TV spots are not supported at retail.

Coordinate your brand’s Super Bowl campaign across retailer ads, FSI’s, TV (if appropriate), and web-based
promotions. Some brands ran TV Spots without increased retailer support. Many retailer ads showed Pepsi
without Pepsi Max or Mars candies without Snickers.
On game day, grocers can feature their in-store delis with ads for fresh platter and dips. Weeks before the
game, let shoppers sample your dips and platters while waiting in the deli line.
Retailers can create margin opportunities on game day as last-minute shoppers may focus more on
convenience and less on pricing.
Leverage the Super Bowl TV spots of your competitors. Let them drive traffic to the category where your
brand is supported with post-game coupons and retail feature ads. Most TV spots are announced in advance.
Don’t wait for the Super Bowl. Snack and beverage brands can drive sales by promoting throughout the play
offs and college bowl season.
