I decided to take a look at the type of products and companies that are advertising on the Fox website during full episode recaps of “Rosewood.” I found that there was a wide range of products, however many of the commercials included families and focused on products that families would use together such as products at Best Buy. This ties into the idea that “Rosewood” is promoting itself as a family-oriented show. The show’s Twitter feed draws attention to the relationship of the main character to his sister and his mother. Furthermore, many of the show’s drama revolve around family dilemmas. For example, the last few episodes have watched the main character and his father battle out their differences and go head to head with each other in court. Other advertisements during the show include promotions for Fox’s hit “Empire,” which comes as no surprise since the show follows directly after “Rosewood.” Also, there were a few advertisements for “The Mindy Project,” which is now available on Hulu.
The show is already working to generate more fans by tying in some of John Stamos’ previous successes such as Full House, which is in the works as a sequel, Fuller House. Grandfathered will be having Bob Saget guest star on an episode. This is a perfect example of cross-promotion between different shows, but interestingly the shows are not on the same network. Fox’s Grandfathered and Netflix’s Fuller are sharing their talent pool to generate more viewers for hopefully both of the programs.
