Rarely do I sit and actually pay attention during commercial breaks. There are so many other things that can get down during commercial breaks that it is almost like viewers already plan what they need to do in the allotted amount of time before the show returns. The advertisers job has become increasingly difficult with the added pressures and distractions that people of all ages face today. I do not know how much more "unique" or peculiar advertisers can make their ads in order to get and keep viewers attentions.Brianne Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618838357071285845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133795668247912390.post-14164638668191618632010-03-21T18:06:20.451-07:002010-03-21T18:06:20.451-07:00Once whatever I'm watching turns off and goes ...Once whatever I'm watching turns off and goes into a commercial I find myself texting, going back to my homework, checking my emails, talking to my roommate, etc. I actually feel bad for advertisers because possible consumers lives are being distracted by so many other things which doesn't allow their commercial to even be seen. The time I do pay attention to a commercial is when it turns up to be louder then I have the TV which is actually illegal to do, but in all honesty it is a technique to get consumers attention again. It's like my mind is trained to know how long commercial breaks are and to lift my head up from my other activities as soon as the show I'm watching turns back on. I wonder if it's peoples lack of interest in commercials or is it that people are just so caught up and busy with other things that they don't have time to watch a full commercial.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582223353451488029noreply@blogger.com
