24. The following survey was conducted by Gfk Roper September 11 through
October 10 of 2014, and asked adults (18 and older):
“What do you do during TV commercials?”
52% - “Talk to others without paying attention to the
commercials”
51% - “Get up and do something else before the show
comes back on”
44% - “Switch to another channel”
43% - “Fast-forward through the commercials while
using a DVR”
26% - “Turn the sound down on the TV or mute it”
Only 13% of respondents stated they
“Sit and watch the commercials”
25. How do the findings in the last slide make you feel
about television advertising?
At a racing event, the commercials are the race cars. When a fan watches a
race, either in person or on television, they’re NOT going to:
• talk to another person to avoid seeing the sponsors
• get up and do something else
• switch to another channel
• fast-forward through the race
• turn the volume down or mute it
The Midway at a motorsports event is more like a carnival, where fans can
buy merchandise, get autographs and have a good time… all the while
being positively bombarded with marketing messages!
26. MM gives your company an opportunity of partnering with a
motorsports team that has proven longevity and integrity to
make your transition into PASS series one that will be a true
success now and in the future.
Why become a PASS series team sponsor for TEAM MM ?
