Auto dealerships, healthcare systems, restaurants, retailers, financial services companies, and home improvement businesses all advertise regularly in cinemas. The format has a track record with these categories: auto advertisers nationally have seen a 34% lift in foot traffic, and QSR brands have measured 2 to 3 times return on ad spend. For Lima businesses targeting everyday consumers, those are real numbers worth paying attention to.

Depending on your package, you can also add lobby and concession area placements to reach people outside the auditorium.

Cinema attention ratings run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital formats. In a market like Lima, where 60% of moviegoers nationally have cut the cord, a portion of your audience cannot be reached through traditional broadcast. Cinema fills that gap with a verified, in-person impression.

Standard campaigns run in 4-week blocks, matching typical movie release cycles and audience turnover. At $710, a single-screen campaign is a realistic option for small and mid-size Lima businesses.
