Frequently asked questions

What does cinema advertising cost in Schaumburg?

A 4-week campaign at Streets of Woodfield 20 runs between $4,960 and $9,920, depending on ad format and placement. Schaumburg is a Tier 1 Chicago market, with CPMs ranging from $70 to $85. That pricing reflects 20 screens and an estimated 64,000 monthly impressions from a high-income suburban audience.

Who typically advertises at movie theaters in Schaumburg?

Automotive dealers, healthcare systems, financial services, restaurants, and local retailers are common advertisers in markets like Schaumburg. The area's median household income of $94,690 and college-educated population (50.6% of residents) make it a strong fit for brands targeting higher-spending consumers in the Chicago suburbs.

Where exactly do ads appear in the theater?

Ads run as part of the pre-show on the main screen before the feature film begins. That means full sight, sound, and motion in a darkened auditorium, with no competing screens or scroll. Lobby placements, including digital displays and static signage, are also available at Streets of Woodfield 20 to extend reach beyond the auditorium.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming in Schaumburg?

Cinema delivers 2 to 6 times the attention of live sports and 6 to 16 times that of social or digital placements. About 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so TV and streaming don't reach them reliably. In a market like Schaumburg, cinema fills a real gap rather than duplicating existing media spend.

How long does a typical cinema ad campaign run?

The standard campaign unit is 4 weeks, which is the basis for all pricing in Schaumburg. Campaigns can run across multiple 4-week flights to align with product launches, seasonal promotions, or longer brand awareness pushes. Extended commitments across the broader Chicago market are also available through Alluvit Media.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at Schaumburg movie theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema. These restrictions apply at all theater locations, including Streets of Woodfield 20. If your category falls outside these restrictions, the Schaumburg cinema inventory is available to book with standard lead times.
