You'll also notice that you see her less often. The Dr. Rick commercials have been a huge hit as well, and there has also been more emphasis placed on the other characters, Flo's "friends." This is to extend the Flo lifecycle as long as possible, because the Flo ad campaign has been such an enormous success.

Odd and quirky seems to be popular.

How would they measure how popular Flo is/was? How does that factor into the actual business?

There are a variety of ways, most of them driven by consumer data, but also by a company's financial performance. For example, several years ago, Progressive ran commercials starring "The Box." That character was a secondary campaign, similar what Dr. Rick is now. The data showed that new policy applications increased in the weeks following the airing of a new commercial starring The Box character. It was a very successful campaign for several years, and helped to extend the life cycle of Flo by not saturating the market with Flo commercials.

Advertising is expensive. No well run company is going to keep pumping money into an unsuccessful campaign. That doesn't mean there aren't bad ad campaigns, but the bad ones don't usually last very long.

Maybe marketing just keeps going with the Flo?

Stephanie Courtney/Flo was a actress and stand up comedian before the Flo gig. I`m sure she has made a ton of money from being Flo. She has had more acting jobs but most I think have been since being the Flo character.

I like Flo a lot more than I like Jake from State Farm!
Not enough to jump ship to Progressive though.

I always wonder what the back story on the car is. Was it a nice example they started with, or a bondo buggy made to look good for TV?

7 figure base, add more for any events or appearances she does. The latter is a 6 figure fee. Dude who plays Jamie makes big $ too.

I'm a confirmed commercial-hater, but I've enjoyed the Dr Pepper "Fansville" series.

I completely agree with you. I find Flo to be more than a little creepy, in a stalking ex-girlfriend sort of way (no, I've never had to deal with that).

But, as far as marketing goes, I miss Joe Isuzu...
