PASS SERIES
Aero Race Wheels
With PASS the cars are the commercials, so the following Data will NOT effect you.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”
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!
