Nike ads set sales soaring, not CBS

Article Abstract:

Nike's television World Wide Web teaser advertisement for its Air Cross Trainer II has increased the Web sales of the shoe even as CBS remained the lone network not to allow the ad to end with the phrase `continued at whatever.nike.com.' The spot offers six endings for consumers who visit the Web site and also links visitors to Nike's official Web site. CBS' refusal to air the phrase is because of its perception of the message of the ad which implicitly tells televiewers to turn off their television.
