Now Accepting Credit Cards

Alaska Grafix has finally joined the 21st Century and is now accepting Visa & Mastercard, so now Alaska Business Owners can start earning miles on their Onscreen Advertising Orders. Although we do not have an online transaction page you can call into the office during regular business hours and we'll run your card over the phone. Please, keep your credit card information safe and do not ever send your credit card information by email.

Menu Board Advertising Available

At all Gross-Alaska theaters in Juneau and Ketchikan there are digital menu boards in the concession area, which have trivia and coming soon movie posters. In addition to advertising on the cinema screen, now you can have your onscreen advertisement displayed on these menu boards for only a weekly charge of $10/theater (Glacier Valley Juneau, Downtown Juneau & Ketchikan = $30). Menu board advertisements are only available for those who are currently signed up for onscreen advertising in the theaters themselves. If you would like to advertise on the menu boards simply select the option for Menu Boards on the online order page. Menu Board advertisements are changed at the beginning of each month so keep that in mind when you are placing your orders online.

Add a QR Code to your Ad

If you aren't familiar with what a QR code is visit this page for an explanation or see the QR code I created for Alaska Grafix on akonscreen.com. Basically, this is a small square box with a mishmash of pixels that has a message or URL embedded in it. For those who have a smart phone they can use their QR Code Reader app (which are abundantly available in a wide variety) to scan the QR code displayed on the screen, which will take the user directly to contact information, a special promo page or a page to learn more on about your business or special. This is a cool savvy way to reach out to some of your more techy customers who may appreciate the special promo directed towards them. We can provide a QR code for you for free if you'd like, or you can create your own at qrstuff.com, or any of the other QR code generating sites. Also consider that ads that only display for 12 or 15 seconds on the screen will barely be enough time for a smart phone user to load up their QR Code Reader app and scan the code, so keep that in mind when deciding whether to add a QR code to your ad.

STUDY: Onscreen Advertising = Most Effective Advertising

Arbitron Inc, a media information and consumer research company, in conjunction with the National Association of Theater Owners and the Cinema Advertising Council, did a market research study examining the effective use of advertising in the traditional media including television, radio, newspaper, outdoor, internet, as well as cinema advertising. There are some great findings determined in the study that shows cinema audiences do not mind the advertising that is part of their cinema experience. Americans feel movie advertising is more acceptable than advertising on the Internet. Cinema advertising also delivers traditionally hard-to-reach but highly desirable demographic groups. More than 60% of cinema audiences are in their seats 10 minutes or more ahead of their movie, and nearly all remember specific ads they saw during the cinema pre-show advertising. For more key findings read the study.
