How much does cinema advertising in Fullerton cost?

What types of businesses advertise in Fullerton movie theaters?

Local and regional advertisers in dining, automotive, healthcare, real estate, financial services, and retail are common here. National brands use Fullerton as part of wider LA market campaigns. Cinema advertising has documented results: QSR brands see 2 to 3 times return on spend, auto advertisers gain 34% more foot traffic, and retail sees 53% incremental store visits.

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

Cinema delivers 2 to 6 times the attention of live sports and 6 to 16 times that of social and digital platforms. About 60% of moviegoers in Fullerton are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, which means the screen at the Fullerton 20 reaches consumers who are no longer accessible through traditional broadcast TV or cable buys.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run in the pre-show programming before the film starts. It's a full-screen, sound-on format in a dark room. Audiences are seated and paying attention. There's no scrolling feed, no second screen, and no skip button. Placement can be targeted by specific screens, showtimes, or across all 20 screens at the Fullerton 20.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise in Fullerton theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted in this cinema advertising network. These restrictions apply regardless of local regulations. If your business falls into one of these categories, cinema placement is not available. All other major categories, including finance, healthcare, food service, and retail, are eligible.

How long should a Fullerton cinema ad campaign run?

Campaigns run in 4-week cycles, matching typical film schedules. Most advertisers start with a single 4-week flight to gauge results, then extend from there. With 39,207 monthly impressions available at the Fullerton 20, running for multiple months builds real frequency with local consumers.
