Advertising in the time of pandemic isolation
We've noticed that commercials are already reflecting issues related to social distancing and coming financial hardship
Dodge is offering 7 months internet free A local Ford dealer is offering 7 years interest free and no payment for 4 months * Papa John's promises no touch after the oven pizzas Burger King has "Contactless Delivery" * these don't appear to be the normal lure and then switch

2. Sign of the times...advetisers will all seize on aspects of the CV-19 crisis to capitalize on.
I am sick of hearing that friggen' Gabi Car Insurance ad on MSNBC - the one that rotates in every single ad break. Ia m at the point where I will never use their service because I am tired of that dude telling me the same message in his German-English accent.

3. For weeks I have said, "They need to change their commercial"
since they were wasting a lot of ad $$$ on TV ads that were now outdated. I have been seeing a lot of COVID hygiene and social distancing ads over the last 4 days. I started seeing "updated" commercials that are offering COVID alterations and specials over the past few days too.
I just saw one for Weather Tech car floor mats and non porous protectors that are easily cleaned or washed. |

6. But they're still advertising Charmin!
They might as well save their money. If there's none to be had, why advertise it? Are people really going to be brand loyal when there's only one 4-pack left on the shelf?
