Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in Alexandria cost?

A single-theater 4-week campaign in Alexandria runs $3,968 to $10,912, depending on screen count and placement format. To cover both theaters citywide, budget $9,424 to $18,848 for a 4-week flight. Alexandria is a Tier 1 market with CPMs ranging from $70 to $85, driven by the high-income, highly educated audience that makes up the DC metro corridor.

Which theaters can my ads run in?

Alluvit Media places campaigns at Hoffman 22 and Kingstowne Stadium 16, Alexandria's two main cinema locations. Combined, they cover 38 screens and roughly 121,600 estimated monthly impressions. Run one location to concentrate on a specific neighborhood, or use both for broader coverage across the city.

What types of businesses advertise in Alexandria movie theaters?

Common advertisers include restaurants, healthcare providers, financial services firms, auto dealerships, real estate agencies, retailers, and local service businesses. With a median household income of $113,638 and a high share of college-educated residents, Alexandria is a strong market for financial, luxury, and professional service brands.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming in this market?

Most cinema audiences in Alexandria can't be reached through traditional TV: 60% are cord-cutters or cord-nevers. Attention in a movie theater runs 2 to 6 times higher than live sports, and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital placements. The results are documented: auto dealerships have seen a 34% increase in foot traffic, and retailers have recorded 53% more incremental visits nationally.

How long should a campaign run?

Most advertisers start with a 4-week campaign, the standard unit for cinema ad buys. Brands targeting seasonal demand, product launches, or local events often run consecutive 4-week flights. Longer commitments build stronger recall, especially in a market like Alexandria where repeat moviegoers return to the same theaters throughout the year.

Are there any restricted advertising categories for movie theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted on this network. These restrictions apply regardless of local regulations. If your business falls into one of these categories, cinema advertising through Alluvit Media is not an option. All other standard advertising categories are eligible for placement in Alexandria.
