Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to advertise at the movie theater in Barboursville?

How many people will actually see my ad?

Huntington Mall generates an estimated 24,000 moviegoer impressions per month. These are in-theater exposures during pre-show programming, not modeled estimates from third-party panels. The audience is physically present, the screens are large, and there are no competing tabs or remote controls to contend with.

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

Cinema attention rates run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital platforms. In a market like Barboursville, that matters: 60% of moviegoers nationally are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, making cinema one of the few reliable ways to reach adults who have largely abandoned traditional broadcast and cable.

What kinds of businesses typically run ads at Huntington Mall?

Local service businesses, restaurants, healthcare providers, auto dealers, and regional retailers are common advertisers in markets like Barboursville. Auto brands using cinema advertising have documented a 34% lift in foot traffic. Retail advertisers have seen 53% incremental store visits. QSR brands report 2 to 3 times return on ad spend.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise in Barboursville theaters?

Yes. Cinema advertising does not accept campaigns for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, or political candidates and ballot initiatives. These restrictions apply across the entire ad network, including all theaters at Huntington Mall. Most local and regional business categories qualify without issue.

How long does a campaign need to run to be effective?

A standard campaign runs 4 weeks, the base unit used for pricing in Barboursville. That window typically captures multiple audience cycles as films turn over and repeat visitors return. Some advertisers extend to 8 or 12 weeks to build frequency, particularly when running concurrent promotions or seasonal offers.
