Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in La Jolla cost?

A 4-week campaign at La Jolla Village 12 runs between $1,540 and $3,081, depending on the number of screens and ad placement selected. La Jolla is a Tier 2 market with CPMs between $47 and $60. With only one theater in the city, that price range covers everything from a single-screen buy to a full citywide campaign.

What kinds of businesses advertise at movie theaters in La Jolla?

Common advertisers include local restaurants, medical and dental practices, real estate agencies, financial advisors, luxury retailers, and service businesses. National brands in auto, QSR, and retail run theater campaigns too. Auto advertisers have seen a 34% lift in foot traffic, and retailers a 53% increase in incremental visits, from cinema ad campaigns.

Where exactly does my ad appear inside the theater?

Ad placements include on-screen pre-show spots that run in the 20 to 30 minutes before the feature, lobby digital displays, and in some cases concession area screens. The pre-show on-screen format gets the most attention. It delivers a full-screen, audio-on experience to a seated audience with nowhere else to look.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming in San Diego?

Cinema audiences skew young, with a median age of 30, and 60% are cord-cutters or cord-nevers who are hard to reach through traditional TV. Attention in a theater tests 6 to 16 times higher than on social and digital platforms, and outperforms both CTV and YouTube. These are people who chose to leave home for the experience.

How long does a campaign need to run to be effective?

The standard buy is a 4-week flight, timed to typical film cycles and giving your creative consistent exposure to rotating audiences. Many advertisers in premium communities like La Jolla run back-to-back flights to build frequency. Alluvit Media can structure campaigns as a single 4-week block or as longer annual programs.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at La Jolla Village 12?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema ad inventory. These restrictions apply network-wide and are not specific to La Jolla. Most local and regional businesses are eligible to run campaigns, including healthcare, financial services, food and beverage (non-alcohol), home services, and retail.
