Hey onscreeners! Well, it's been awhile, but now that the year is almost half over I thought I'd get one of these out to let you know about our upcoming promos and big movies that are coming.

FYI: Deadline to get your ad up onscreen in time for The Amazing Spiderman is June 27!
(If you sign up for at least 4 weeks you'll be up for Batman too!)

20% off Special Newsletter Subscriber Discount

You may have seen those Alaska Grafix postcards I sent out back in May with a promo code for 10% Off. Well, now I'm one upping that promo with a special 20% discount for newsletter subscribers only. Usually we reserve our 20% discounts for small packages and promos, because this is a big savings, but you can apply this special discount to any type of package you want to sign up for for a limited time. Just enter code: AKOX20 when placing your Order. Offer expires July 18. A four month package will already get you four bonus weeks which will take you through the rest of the summer and into the fall. And if you apply the 20% discount you can save $hundreds more, while making sure you're ad is onscreen for The Amazing Spiderman, The Dark Night Rises, The Bourne Legacy, Total Recall, James Bond: Skyfall and the final Twilight movie. (See below for a comprehensive list of all the big movies coming out for the remainder of 2012.) There are still a few spots left.

New 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 $5/theater (Glacier Valley Juneau, Downtown Juneau & Ketchikan = $15). 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.
