GoDaddy Superbowl Commercials 2012

Superbowl Commercials 2012
This year looks to be very interesting as it does more and more every year. Not only do the advertising cots rise each year but so does the quality of the commercials. If you are paying, $1, $2 or $3 million for an ad you better believe you will work hard to make it good. Not only does the company creating the advertisement want it to work well but so does the advertising agency. In a way it is an advertisement for the agency who created it so they can attempt to get more business. Rates are skyrocketing and one of our favorites come from GoDaddy.

Superbowl Advertising 2012 Rates Over $3 Million
Forbes wrote recently that SuperBowl advertising rates could double in the next ten years. They show that in 1995 a 30 second commercial had just peaked over $1 million. This year, 2012, Volkswagon paid $3.5 million for a 30 second spot. The demographic and reach of anything can determine the rates. It is not so much that it is the Superbowl but more about how many are watching and who they are.

Holiday Season 2011 Online Spending over $35 Billion

The 2011 year ended with online holiday spending over $35 billion. The same period last year, 2010, was just over $30 billion. comscore 2012 report on e-commerce spendingThis is from a Comscore report released recently. The report covers November 1st to December 26th. It is amazing that online spending was not only up 15% over the same period the last year. It is also impressive that spending was over $35 billion and the time period of analysis did not extend the full year to December 31st.

Let’s all hope that 2012 can be an even better online year. We will continue to update our online coupons such as the GoDaddy Coupons 2012 and others.

GoDaddy Virtual DataCenter Coupon

You can use this GoDaddy Virtual DataCenter Coupon below for 25% off and try their service for only $1 the first month. The 25% off coupon is good until January 31, 2012. It is interesting to me how many times I find myself saying “I wish they had that when I was younger” as I get older. In a way I want others to suffer through the setup of individual servers, putting them into their vehicle, driving them to the hosting facility, hooking them up in the rack while going through multiple levels of physical security and freezing their tails off. Well maybe not, but it builds character. haha

GoDaddy Virtual Datacenter Coupon

GoDaddy Virtual Data Center
Any time you can take something that is tiresome and laborious and make it “virtual” you have a good thing going. GoDaddy has what they aptly named their virtual datacenter. Gone are the days of manually setting up servers in your own rack at a data center. Also gone are the days of paying someone else to set up a group of dedicated servers in a rack at a data center while only using a small percentage of their resources.

Save Resources
Why would one do this in the first place? Well back when I was walking through snow without shoes you never knew when or how your traffic may spike. Therefore you always had servers setup and ready for any additional load either on the web servers or the database servers. Now you can add, scale or remove servers dynamically and at any time. Whenever you need a new server you can do it from the comfort of your desk and have a new server up and running immediately. As many of us know you never get to plan ahead for the need of additional resources, typically it is an immediate need. Then once you no longer need the additional servers you can easily remove them. Something rarely done back in the physical data center days. Since you can add and remove servers at any time you save resources and typically only use and pay for what you need.

A Cloud?
Exactly! This is a cloud, the ability to scale servers dynamically and only pay for what you use. The term cloud is meant to be confusing, I guess. However the term virtual data center is very descriptive and makes more sense to me.

Secure?
Not only did you use to have to setup your own servers in a rack but you had to worry about all the surrounding issues. One of which was security and a firewall. The Go daddy virtual data center provides a firewall.

Load Balancing?
Yeppers, load balancing is included in the virtual datacenter as well.

office depot couponI enjoy using Office Depot because they deliver and I can get all sorts of office supplies. Of course they have paper, toner, but also items that every office needs in terms of things such as tissues, food for the office kitchen, coffee, and more. They also have furniture, chairs, everything an office may need. Now is a great time to get those items and have them delivered before the holidays. As so many people take vacation this time of year why not stock up the office on those slow quiet days. Be sure to write down the above office depot coupon.

Cyber Monday 2011 Reaches $1.25 Billion

The total for Cyber Monday 2011 was $1.25 billion which is 22% higher than 2010. This was the largest online spending day in history. Two days prior, Black Friday 2011 was up 18% over 2010.

Breakdown of Cyber Monday Spending
Cyber Monday 2011 SalesHere are the specifics of how much was spent and how it was being spent. This data and information is provided by the latest Comscore report, find even more detail here in their press release. The most interesting statistic to me was the fact that a million more people shopped online and the average order size increased as well.

This does not necessarily mean the economy is doing better, it could just be that some brick and mortar shoppers decided to shop online instead. So I do not know if this is any indicator of the economy turning around but I do know it means online business continues to trend up. Due to the number of online deals and coupons it is apparent that retailers understand the value of online sales.

What an incredible Cyber Monday.

Black Friday 2011 Online Sales

See the chart below regarding online sales so far for November compared to last year. The chart and information is provided by Comscore here in a press release.

2011 Black Friday Online Sales
The following chart shows the change from 2010 spending to 2011 spending in millions. Note that the first 25 days of November this year the spending was up 15% over the same time last year.

  • Thanksgiving day (Nov 24th) was up 18% over last year
  • Black Friday (Nov 25th) was up 26% over Black Friday 2010

    That is a significant jump in spending and particularly on Black Friday. The total for the first 25 days was $12,737,000, impressive considering Cyber Monday has not yet concluded and there are 30 days in November. black friday 2011 online sales

    Total Year End 2011 Sales
    Based on the continued use of online coupons and I would not be surprised if using a coupon online has become more common place and lending to higher sales. Last year the Cyber Monday 2010 Sales were over $1 Billion. It will be interesting to see how this Cyber Monday fares as compared to this years Black Friday.
