Best Buy Super Bowl 2011 Ad is first for the Retailer

Dec 6 2010, 8:25am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

More and more Super Bowl advertisers break cover for the Super Bowl 2011. Fox has sold out its over 60 spots for the Super Bowl XLV a while ago. Several newcomers are going to make the Super Bowl 2011 ad roaster more interesting. AdAge reports that every geeks favorite retail chain Best Buy is advertising during the Super Bowl XLV for the first time ever.
Update:
Watch the Best Buy Super Bowl Commercial now. It has indeed Justin Bieber in it.

Update:
Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne will be in the Best Buy Super Bowl 2011 Ad.

Best Buy has bought a 30 second spot to announce something really big on Super Bowl Sunday. Something that will revolutionize retailing. It is supposed to be innovative and a first ever according to a statement from Best Buy VP of Marketing Drew Panayiotou in the Adage report. What Best Buy has up its sleeve is unclear. Typically the time leading up to the Super Bowl is more important for Best Buy. Best Buy and TV manufactures use the Super Bowl to convince consumers that they need a new (large) TV to watch the big game.

The Best Buy Super Bowl 2011 Ad will likely not be about a product. It most likely is about a new shopping experience. It could imagine that it will involve mobile technology, NFC or augmented reality.

Other Super Bowl 2011 newcomers we already reported are Mercedes and BMW is back after a four year break. Pepsi is also back after one year pause.

Just like last year, I4U News will be featuring again the Super Bowl for Geeks Guide. Of course the Super Bowl 2011 for Geeks Guide will be all about the Super Bowl Commercials and not the big game. The Super Bowl XLV will take place in the Dallas Cowboys stadium on February 6th 2011.
