The most active cinema advertisers tend to be local and regional businesses: quick-service restaurants, auto dealerships, healthcare providers, home services, and retail. Nationally, QSR brands report 2 to 3 times return on ad spend. Auto advertisers have documented a 34% lift in foot traffic from cinema campaigns. Kelso's income and age profile lines up well for all of those categories.

Ads run on screen before the feature film, during the pre-show sequence. Placements can also include lobby screens and other in-venue formats. The on-screen pre-show is the core placement. Audiences are already seated, with no scrolling, no muting, and no competing notifications pulling their attention away.

Cinema delivers attention ratings 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital media. In a market like Kelso, where 60% of moviegoers have cut the cord, traditional TV reaches fewer of them every year. Cinema fills that gap with an audience that is seated, focused, and not scrolling past your ad, at a competitive cost.

Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political ads are not accepted at Three Rivers Mall 12. Advertisers in those categories will need to look elsewhere. Most local service, retail, healthcare, and entertainment brands have no restrictions.
