Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising cost in Calexico?

A 4-week campaign in Calexico typically runs $1,300 to $2,200, depending on how many screens you take and which placements you use.

Final cost depends on flight length and how your dates line up with the film release calendar, so every campaign is quoted individually. Request a quote for current pricing in this market.

What kinds of businesses advertise at Calexico 10 Theater?

Local restaurants, auto dealers, retail stores, healthcare providers, and regional service businesses are common advertisers in markets like Calexico. The typical cinema audience skews under 35, is 62% multicultural nationally, and leans toward families. That profile fits businesses that depend on repeat local traffic and community visibility.

Where exactly does my ad appear during a cinema campaign?

Ads run in the pre-show segment before the feature film, on screen in the auditorium. Placements closer to showtime typically draw the strongest attention. National research shows cinema attention rates run 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital formats, and consistently outperform CTV and YouTube in independent studies.

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

About 60% of moviegoers nationally are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so TV spots never reach them. Streaming pre-rolls compete with skip buttons and second screens. Cinema audiences have no skip option, no notifications, and no competing devices. For Calexico advertisers, that translates to measurable results, including retail visit lifts of 53% documented in independent studies.

How long does a cinema ad campaign typically run?

Campaigns can run across multiple 4-week periods for sustained reach. With 16,000 monthly impressions available at Calexico 10 Theater, a single flight gives a focused brand a solid local footprint in this market.

Are there any advertising categories that are not accepted in cinema?

Yes. Cinema advertising does not accept campaigns for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, or political candidates or issues. These restrictions apply across the network regardless of market. If your business falls outside these categories, approval is straightforward and campaigns can typically be turned around within a standard lead time.
