How Cinema Advertising Benefits Small Businesses

Cinema advertising means special, public, or promotional message sent to a specific target (usually only young people) who have chosen to pay to watch a film. This is different from TV advertising, which means any advert is 'free to view' and is designed to persuade people to watch a particular programme. This article explores the various types of cinema advertising, how they work, and why you should care.

So, what are some of the key teaching points about cinema advertising? Well, first of all, cinema advertising works on a very large scale, reaching thousands of people. This is a very different thing than most forms of marketing as you don't reach a specific audience by sending a few leaflets through the door. You need to have a really good design, with a clear call to action, so that the target audience will be motivated to buy the tickets.

It is also worth remembering that cinema advertising differs from other forms of marketing as it can't be seen on TV or radio. The audience must be targeted in order to make the most effective impact. You can't just put a large amount of banners up in the air, hoping that a few will fall onto the seats and attract a few viewers. People watching a film have been conditioned to stop and look at things, so your cinema advertising has to persuade them to sit down and look around.

A lot of the effectiveness of cinema advertising is found in the design of the promotions. The audience has their own expectations about cinema advertising, so the design of the adverts has to match these expectations. For example, while the traditional advert shows a man walking along a public street, if he's going to walk under a busy road, this isn't going to work. In order to attract the right kind of audience, the cinema has to target its promotions in certain areas. If a man walks down a country path and sees billboards for Big Finish Games of World War Two, or a Transport Advertising Agency has set up a number of bus routes through the area, this will work better than advertising in the middle of a motorway.

It's also important that the cinemas don't just focus on the large ticket sales. The benefits of the internet for small businesses means that the internet can help with all aspects of a marketing campaign, even the smaller, more intimate ones. Many small businesses find it easier to attract new customers through the internet rather than TV or radio. For example, many tv viewers like to shop online, and there's no reason why cinema advertising can't match this trend. Many people prefer to buy a ticket to watch a film in the comfort of their own home, rather than having to travel to a small town or city.

In fact, many television and radio advertisers are starting to make the switch to the web. This has to do with the fact that consumers can simply put their fingers in their ears when they hear advertisements on the radio and television. The cinema is still a relatively silent medium, which is great for a well-crafted advertising campaign. By watching a film advertised through the cinema at the same time as paying the babysitter for the children (even if you don't have money to cover the babysitter's share), consumers will remember it better than if they had gone to the cinema with no idea what was on screen.
