Why choose Cinema Advertising?
Cinema audiences have what you want: discretionary income and the extra time to relax & & enjoy a movie! No one has to go to the movies. Our audiences want to be there. They are in a good mood, open & receptive to your message.
In contrast to almost all other forms of advertising, on-screen movie theater advertising provides you with a captive audience. Patrons welcome your advertisement because it provides something interesting upon which to focus.
Movie studios have already paid millions of dollars to get your customers in those seats - take advantage of it! Motion picture screen advertising has one of the highest recall factors of any venue & that’s priceless visibility for your business.
Spending your advertising dollars with the Noyo Theatre keeps movie goers close to home & what you have to offer. Movie patrons are primarily local residents, and repeat visitors - 80% of moviegoers attend more than 5 movies each year. It’s free & easy to change your message. If you want to advertise a limited time promotion, change your graphics or change your message it can be done quickly. Monthly changes are welcome. More frequent changes can be discussed.
We sell approximately 45,000 tickets a year! That equates to a lot of eyes on your ad.
How Does this Work?
We advertise 10min before the first movie & 10min in between movies. We play the local ads at their highest visibility just before the trailers start. Your ad will play at least twice within a slideshow presentation. New content can be inserted on a Friday.
In between ads there are pleasant local scenes showing the beautiful area that we live in, works from our local artists, town sponsored activities & places of interest that are uniquely Willits. Local musicians provide background music to enhance the experience. You pick the program that fits your budget & begin the design process.
Can I Show a Video?
Yes! It's a little more difficult, requires some format changes & editing but we have shown 10sec & 30sec video ads & they look great. One was converted from a phone video. Contact us on the cost of showing video ads.
Is this a Difficult Process?
NO! NO! NO! NO! If you feel tech savvy we can walk you through designing & creating your ad. We are NOT part of an out-of-town ad agency. We own the theater & live in Willits so you will be dealing with someone who is committed to your success.
We can design an ad for you or we can recommend a local artist to help you. Simply gather your logo, images, and/or pictures of your storefront/products/yourselves & we can turn them into a full scale, full color digital advertisement.
You Can Afford This!
We are independent, locally owned & operated. We are NOT part of a theater chain. We do NOT have the bulky & expensive infrastructure of the chain theaters. We can charge much less than the competition. Plus, your advertising dollars stay in the community & come back to you with interest.
You don’t have to pay for a long contract. If you have a limited budget, this is the best bang for your limited bucks. Or you can pay monthly & advertize during your peak season.
A Word from the Owners
We have a loyal audience that comes to our theatre. They frequently know each other. They come early & socialize or talk to us about the movies they love. Our vision is to provide an onscreen local ad/entertainment segment that sparks conversation & amusement before our films. We want this to be a uniquely Willits experience in the music, photography, arts, & events along with our valued merchant advertising. With your participation we think that we can help support a healthy downtown Willits crowd.
Technically Speaking…
We can display digital slides of the following format: 1940x800x150pixels/inch TIFF file RGB color 8 bits/channel
Design Notes
1. Do not assume that you can simply scan & display your poster. A poster will not fit the resolution of our screen. There is almost always too much information on it for a 10sec ad. If you have one we can display your poster on our community board outside the theater.
2. Resize & constrain proportions of photographs. Set height to 800pixels at 150pixels/inch. You will likely have a lot of horizontal space left to fill.
3. Photoshop or any graphics program that does layers & saves in TIFF is perfect. Layers are not necessary but will be very helpful if you want to modify your design. For example, a text layer would allow you to change your message without changing the background.
4. I have had people email me jpegs which is ok. However, small files will look pixelated. It seems like 1mb is a reasonably sized file.
