Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in Grand Haven cost?

A 4-week campaign at GQT Grand Haven 9 costs between $738 and $1,476, depending on screen count and placement. The Tier 3 CPM rate of $37 to $45 applies. Since Grand Haven has only one theater, a single-theater buy and a citywide buy are the same thing, so there's no ambiguity in the budget.

How many people will see my ad each month in Grand Haven?

GQT Grand Haven 9 draws an estimated 18,000 moviegoer impressions per month across its 9 screens. That's a consistent local audience, and a largely incremental one: cinema audiences nationally are 60% cord-cutters or cord-nevers, meaning most of these viewers won't see your TV or streaming buys.

What kinds of businesses advertise in Grand Haven movie theaters?

Common advertisers include restaurants, auto dealers, healthcare providers, real estate agencies, financial services, home improvement businesses, and local retailers. Cinema delivers documented results across these categories: QSR brands see a 2-3x return on spend, and third-party studies show a 53% lift in incremental retail visits.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run as part of the pre-show on the main screen, before the feature film starts. Audiences are seated, the lights are down, and there are no competing screens or scroll feeds. That environment produces attention ratings 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital placements, and 2 to 6 times higher than live sports broadcasts.

Are there any advertising categories that cannot run in Grand Haven theaters?

Yes. Cinema advertising does not accept campaigns for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, or political candidates and causes. These restrictions apply at the network level and are consistent across all theater locations, including GQT Grand Haven 9. Most local and regional business categories face no restrictions.

How does cinema advertising compare to local TV or streaming for reaching Grand Haven residents?

Local TV and streaming reach broad, passive audiences. Cinema audiences are in their seats, undistracted, and cannot skip the ad. Grand Haven has a median age of 46.4 and 35.9% of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher. That profile fits categories like financial services, home goods, and automotive, where the target is adults with disposable income who are actually paying attention.
