Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in Goldsboro cost?

A 4-week campaign at Premiere Theatre 12 runs between $1,540 and $3,081, depending on screen count and placement format. Goldsboro is a Tier 2 market with CPMs ranging from $47 to $60. With roughly 28,800 monthly impressions available across 12 screens, that spend gets you measurable local reach at a defined cost.

Who typically advertises at movie theaters in Goldsboro?

Common advertisers include local restaurants, auto dealerships, healthcare providers, real estate agencies, and regional retailers. National studies show QSR brands see 2 to 3 times return on ad spend, and auto advertisers report 34% increases in foot traffic. Any business targeting Goldsboro families or working adults is a reasonable candidate.

Where exactly do ads appear in a cinema campaign?

Ads run on screen before the feature film as part of the pre-show presentation. Depending on your campaign package, placements appear across all 12 screens at Premiere Theatre 12. The format is full-screen, with no skip option and no competing content running at the same time. That's the core attention advantage cinema has over digital and social advertising.

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

Cinema attention ratings run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital formats. In Goldsboro, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, meaning traditional TV spots won't reach them. Cinema fills that gap: a captive audience, no competing screens, no scroll.

How long should a Goldsboro cinema campaign run?

The standard entry point is a 4-week campaign, which aligns with typical film booking cycles and gives your creative enough exposure to build recognition. Advertisers with seasonal promotions or event-based offers often run 4 to 8 weeks. Longer flights generally improve recall among repeat moviegoers, particularly in smaller markets like Goldsboro.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise in Goldsboro movie theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political ads are not accepted in cinema pre-show placements. These restrictions apply network-wide, not just in Goldsboro or Wayne County. Advertisers in those categories will need to look at other channels. Everything else, including healthcare, finance, food, and retail, is eligible.
