Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to advertise at Live Oak 18?

A 4-week campaign at Live Oak 18 costs between $1,476 and $2,952, depending on screen count and placement. Live Oak is a Tier 3 market with a CPM of $37 to $45. With only one theater in the city, a single-theater buy and a citywide buy are the same investment.

What kinds of businesses advertise in movie theaters in Live Oak?

Common advertisers include quick-service and sit-down restaurants, auto dealerships, healthcare providers, home services, real estate companies, and local retailers. National research shows QSR advertisers see 2 to 3 times their ad spend returned. Auto advertisers have documented a 34% lift in dealership foot traffic from cinema campaigns.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run on screen before the feature film begins, during what is commonly called the pre-show. This is a full-motion, full-audio spot shown to a seated audience in a dark room with no scroll, no skip button, and no competing tabs. Lobby placements such as posters and digital displays are also available at some locations.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise in theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are restricted or prohibited in cinema. If your business falls into one of those categories, cinema is not the right placement. Most other local and regional categories are eligible without issue.

How does cinema advertising compare to streaming or connected TV for reaching Live Oak residents?

Roughly 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, making them largely unreachable through traditional TV. Attention research shows cinema ads perform 6 to 16 times better than social and digital formats, and also outperform CTV and YouTube. The Live Oak 18 audience sits captive, in a dark room, watching your full ad.

How long should my campaign run in Live Oak?

Most campaigns run in 4-week flights, the standard minimum. With an estimated 36,000 monthly impressions across Live Oak 18, a single flight gives solid market coverage for a city this size. Brands running awareness or promotional campaigns often book two or three consecutive flights to build frequency and drive measurable results.
