Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in Auburn, WA cost?

The CPM range is $47 to $60, in line with Auburn's Tier 2 market status within the Seattle-Tacoma area. With only one cinema in the city, campaigns are either concentrated at this single theater or scaled back accordingly.

How many people can I reach with a cinema ad campaign in Auburn?

The Auburn 17 Theatres generates an estimated 40,800 monthly moviegoer impressions. Over a standard 4-week campaign, that audience draws from local residents and nearby commuters, with a median household income of $95,367 and a median age of 35.7. That profile fits well with mid-to-upper-market product categories.

What kinds of businesses advertise at movie theaters in Auburn?

Common advertisers include restaurants, automotive dealers, healthcare providers, real estate firms, colleges, and retail brands. Nationally, cinema campaigns have driven a 34% lift in auto dealership foot traffic and a 53% increase in incremental retail visits. Local service businesses and regional chains use cinema to reach Auburn's commuter-heavy, family-oriented population.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ad placements run on screen before the feature film, during the pre-show segment. Options include on-screen spots, lobby static or digital displays, and in-theater promotional materials. The on-screen pre-show placement gets the highest attention: no scrolling, no skipping, just a seated audience in a dark room with their eyes on the screen.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming in Auburn?

Cinema audiences in Auburn skew younger than most other channels. The national moviegoer median age is 30, compared to older audiences on network TV, NFL broadcasts, and streaming services. Attention ratings run 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital placements, and 2 to 6 times higher than live sports. Sixty percent of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, meaning cinema reaches people that TV budgets routinely miss.

Are there any advertising categories that cannot run in Auburn movie theaters?

Yes. Cinema advertising does not accept campaigns for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, or political candidates and ballot measures. These restrictions apply across the network regardless of city or theater. Advertisers in those categories should contact Alluvit Media to discuss alternative placement options for their specific situation.
