locations where companies frequently
seek to advertise number 10 keyword
advertising we begin our list with one
of the newer forms of advertising with
the emergence of the Internet in the
21st century advertisers have found new
ways to sell their products online one
way to do this is through keyword
advertising the advertiser pays for
their ad to show up when a person
searches for something using a specific
phrase or word I went to this website
and this ad popped up that said hey Ron
Swanson check out this great offer
Google AdWords is perhaps the most
popular platform for keyword advertising
although many other search engines offer
the service as well so if you really
want to make things interesting search
for a bunch of random things the next
time you’re on Google and see what kinds
of ads pop up number 9 NASCAR and f1
cars know how logo logos or cigarettes
or calm down if you’ve ever watched
Formula One or NASCAR you’ve no doubt
noticed that the cars are plastered in
advertisements the ads nearly cover the
entire car including the doors the hood
and even around the cars life part of
the reason for this is the cost it costs
hundreds of thousands of dollars or in
Formula One’s case millions just to
build a car eligible for a race and you
still have to pay a driver and an entire
team to keep the car running getting
paid by advertisers can help offset that
cost advertisers also benefit however
particularly if they support a driver
who wins frequently as their product
gets showcased on all sorts of apparel
may pack the official tampon a NASCAR
I’m Ricky Bobby you don’t chew big red
than you number eight stadium names
while sports purists may prefer the
names Yankee Stadium and Candlestick
Park advertisers certainly do not they
quickly realized that claiming the
naming rights of big stadiums around the
world would allow the name of their
product to reach millions and millions
of viewers in fact FedEx agreed to pay
the Washington Redskins about 200
million dollars over 27 years for the
rights to rename their stadium as FedEx
Field and the prices have only increased
since then while this may be great for
advertisers it no doubt pains some fans
to see stadiums like Shea Stadium torn
down only to be replaced by Citi Field
number 7 Shibuya crossing Tokyo Shibuya
one of the special wards in Tokyo and
populated by over 200,000 people it’s
best known for its famous Shibuya
crossing which allows for people to
cross from all directions and is known
as a scramble crossing with its heavy
traffic as there can be as many as 2,500
people crossing the road each time the
lights change it’s also one of the most
popular advertising sites in the world 3
large TV screens overlook the crossing
as do many huge signs and billboards
very similar to Times Square in New York
of course advertising here isn’t cheap
some reports suggest that for a 2-week
spots advertisers must pay nearly 200
thousand dollars number 6 commercials
during primetime hey Siri set timer for
14 minutes ok 14 minutes and Counting
while perhaps not quite as popular as it
used to be but with the creation of
Netflix and other popular streaming
sites primetime programming still
remains a top spot for advertisers for
American audiences primetime is usually
considered to be 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Eastern Time popular primetime shows can
still draw audiences well into the
millions making this a perfect time for
advertisers to air commercials selling
their products if of course they make
one interesting enough so the viewers
don’t change the channel
any
as possible when your man smells like
old spice and not a lady I’m on a horse
number-5 Piccadilly Circus best known
for its neon signs and impressive foot
traffic Piccadilly Circus is one of the
busiest sites in all of England with
more than 70 million people passing
through the location annually as of 2016
the site maintains six led advertising
screen and has attracted some of the
biggest companies in the world over the
years coca-cola for example has had a
sign at Piccadilly Circus since the mid
50s
while McDonald’s has been there for
nearly 30 years of course the price for
advertising in this location is
typically in the millions per year but
money is not the only problem
positions rarely become available we’re
still animals or clouds what a ripoff
number four Super Bowl commercials want
my coke okay you can have it back in
1967 just over 50 million people turned
their television sets on to watch the
Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City
Chiefs in Super Bowl 1 that number was
over three times as much for Super Bowl
50
as such the price of a 30-second
commercial has risen from 42 thousand
dollars to just over five million
dollars snicker Saturn the Super Bowl is
a phenomenal time for advertisers to
build awareness for their product and
many people tune into the game only for
the ad known for their high budget
celebrity cameos and use of humor
commercials during the Superbowl often
end up being more memorable than the
game itself honey what about you tonight
[Music]
number three the world cup old
wiser there is no doubt that the FIFA
World Cup is a money-making tournament
with a well-established global audience
and access to view games like never
before
advertisers have the ability to reach
out to quite literally billions of
people one of the reasons the World Cup
is so popular to advertisers is through
all the many different ways they can
show their products they can do so via
commercial giant billboards at the
stadium or for companies like Nike and
Adidas sponsoring the sporting equipment
and uniforms the players wear they also
tend to gain access to some of the
biggest sporting stars in the world
making the world cup a true bonanza for
many companies
okay
we’ll be shoving them
number two the Olympics thanks to the
International Olympic Committee’s rule
40 the Olympics have been dominated by
sponsors like Visa and McDonald’s for
years and these sponsors had exclusive
access to the Olympic athletes recent
changes to the rule however have allowed
these athletes to appear in other
commercials only increasing the amount
of revenue companies can make from
selling their products during the games
with 205 nations competing at the 2016
Summer Olympics advertisers have the
ability to reach all corners of the
globe via commercials on television and
by renting out ad space across the
various events amazingly NBC secured
over 1 billion dollars in national ad
sales for the Rio Olympic Games number 1
Times Square
home of the biggest brightest most
deadly signs in the world now into some
is the crossroads of the world and two
others as the center of the universe
Time Square attracts well over 300,000
people daily that adds up to roughly 50
million people over the course of the
year filled with large neon billboards
and flashing lights Times Square is one
of the main reasons why New York is
called the city that never sleeps it’s
perhaps the most coveted spot in the
world when it comes to advertising space
as such it is not cheap
The Wall Street Journal stated that it
costs somewhere between 1 and 4 million
dollars a year to buy one of the
billboards still for the larger
companies it is worth the price to reach
that many people on a daily basis
