In markets like Spartanburg, the most common cinema advertisers are local restaurants, auto dealers, healthcare providers, retailers, and service businesses.

Ads run in the pre-show on the main screen before the feature film begins. Full screen, audio on, no skip button, no competing content. Moviegoers are seated and the lights are dimmed. There is no scrolling feed pulling attention elsewhere. Attention levels in this environment are measurably higher than in nearly any other paid media format.

Local TV and streaming reach broader but more fragmented audiences. About 60% of moviegoers in markets like Spartanburg are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, meaning traditional cable won't reach them. Cinema fills that gap with a verified, in-person impression and attention ratings that outperform CTV and YouTube by a significant margin.

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema pre-show inventory. If your business falls into any of those categories, cinema is not an option. For every other industry, including healthcare, finance, food and beverage (non-alcohol), and home services, cinema is fully open.

The standard purchase window is 4 weeks. Many advertisers run consecutive 4-week flights to build frequency. With 32,000 monthly impressions across one theater and 16 screens, a single flight still delivers real local reach. Campaigns tied to seasonal events, grand openings, or product launches tend to perform well in a focused 4-week window.
