Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in Madison Heights cost?

A 4-week campaign at John R 15 runs between $1,926 and $3,852, depending on screen count and placement type. That works out to a CPM of $47 to $60 across an estimated 36,000 monthly impressions. As a Tier 2 market, costs here are lower than in the broader Detroit metro.

What kinds of businesses advertise at movie theaters in Madison Heights?

Common advertisers include auto dealerships, restaurants, healthcare providers, home services, financial institutions, and retail brands. Auto advertisers using cinema have seen 34% increases in foot traffic nationally, and retail brands have documented 53% incremental store visits. The format works well for any brand that benefits from high-attention local exposure.

Where exactly do the ads appear in the theater?

Ads run on screen as part of the pre-show sequence before the feature film. Placements can also include lobby screens and other in-venue touchpoints. The on-screen format runs without skips, mutes, or competing content. That's why attention ratings for cinema run 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital placements.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming in this market?

Broadcast TV and streaming audiences in the Detroit market skew older and are increasingly fragmented. Nationally, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so cinema reaches people who are largely unavailable through traditional TV. Attention measurement consistently shows cinema outperforming CTV, YouTube, and live sports in verified viewer engagement.

How long does a typical campaign run at John R 15?

The standard unit is a 4-week campaign, timed to theatrical release cycles. Most advertisers run 4 to 12 weeks depending on budget and goals. Longer flights build frequency among Madison Heights residents who visit the theater more than once, reinforcing recall at a fraction of what a broadcast schedule would cost.

Are there any industry restrictions for cinema advertising in Madison Heights?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted on this network. These restrictions apply across the theater advertising platform regardless of city or market. If your business falls outside those categories, getting a campaign running at John R 15 is straightforward.
