Television advertising,
Table 3 from Rational Ritual
This is a "live" version of Table 3 from my book Rational
Ritual: Culture, Coordination, and Common Knowledge
(Princeton 2001).
This table is based on 357 monthly advertising campaigns for
consumer goods on US network television in October 1988, February
1989, and July 1989. "Average cost per thousand" is the cost
of the campaign per thousand exposures. "Social good"
indicates a good which is typically consumed in the presence of
other people, such as beer. "Average audience size" is the
average viewership (in millions of households) of the shows which
the good is advertised on. The other variables are the
demographic makeup (in terms of percent of the total audience) of
the audience of each campaign. Please read this excerpt for further
explanation.
