Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to advertise at Island Cinemas in Saint Simons Island?

A 4-week campaign at Island Cinemas runs between $574 and $1,148, depending on ad placement and frequency. Because Island Cinemas is the only theater in the city, a single-theater buy and a citywide buy are the same investment. CPM in this Tier 3 market runs $37 to $45 per thousand impressions.

How many people will see my ad at Island Cinemas each month?

Island Cinemas draws an estimated 14,000 moviegoers per month across its 7 screens. That's a consistent local audience coming through the door week after week. Over a 4-week campaign, your ad runs before multiple showings daily, putting your brand in front of Saint Simons Island and Golden Isles consumers more than once.

What types of businesses advertise in movie theaters on Saint Simons Island?

Common advertisers include restaurants, healthcare providers, real estate agencies, home services companies, financial institutions, auto dealers, and retailers. Any brand trying to reach local consumers in a focused, distraction-free environment is a natural fit. Tourism and hospitality businesses also do well here, given the steady coastal visitor traffic to the Saint Simons Island area.

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

Cinema attention ratings run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital placements. Nationally, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so TV spots won't reach them. Cinema reaches those audiences directly, in a format they can't skip, mute, or scroll past.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at Island Cinemas?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are all restricted from cinema ad programs. These restrictions apply in every market and theater. If your business falls into one of these categories, cinema advertising is not available as a channel through standard network placements.

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

The standard campaign unit is 4 weeks, giving your ad enough frequency to build real recall among Saint Simons Island moviegoers. Retail brands have documented 53% incremental visit increases from cinema campaigns, and auto advertisers have seen 34% foot traffic lifts. Longer runs compound those results as audience turnover puts your ad in front of new viewers.
