Hi folks, sorry it's been awhile since I've got one of these newsletter things out to everyone. But it's a new year and there are some great things coming up.
20% off Year Long Packages
I wanted to get this out right at the beginning of the year, but now is as good as anytime. Let's start the year off with a bang! Sign up for a whole year of cinema advertising on the screens and take 20% off. Usually we reserve our 20% discounts for small packages and promos, because this is a big savings. The numbers really add up when applied to a year long package! When you sign up for a year long package you're actually only paying for 44 weeks and with that you get 8 bonus weeks, which equals 52 weeks. A 15 second ad display for Sitka or Ketchikan would normally come to $1661.44 for the year package. If you take 20% off that drops it down to $1329.15 saving you $332.29. For the 7 screens in Juneau you save $825.44 dropping from $5159.00 to $4333.56 for a year package. And for all 11 screens in Juneau, Sitka & Ketchikan you would actually save $1235.94 dropping from $7080.92 to $5844.98. That's a big savings! Just type in promo code YEAR2012 on the online orders page to take your 20% off. This is an exclusive offer for newsletter subscribers and you probably won't see a big promo like this until 2013, so hurry, offer is only good until the end of February.
New Menu Board Advertising Available
At all Gross-Alaska theaters in Juneau and Ketchikan, there are digital menu boards have 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 in the lobby for only a weekly charge of $5/theater (Glacier Valley Juneau, Downtown Juneau & Ketchikan). 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 that attached QR code I created for Alaska Grafix. 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 new technology and Alaska Grafix is currently running a couple ads with QR codes on the screens which have only been hit a couple times, but it's still 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.
