Advertise to a captive audience at the Port Elgin Cinemas.  They are sitting down either munching on popcorn, or just staring at a big blank  screen. Our guests NEED something to help pass the time before the featured film presentation begins. Here is a way to grab their attention, get your message out there and leave them wanting to support your business. We call this our "Silver Screen Slide Advertising" program. The pre-show slide presentation also features Trivia Questions, Answers and Movie Fun Facts between each advertising slide so the viewer stays engaged throughout the pre-show program. Your slides can be as individual as your business is - If you can dream it, we can help you do it. 

Unlike print and radio ads where your options are limited to the medium and your budget, Slide advertising is a cost effective way to communicate with potential customers.  With the help of vibrant colours, bold text, eye-catching graphics and photographs, your choices are endless.  And if you are new to advertisng, our staff can work with you and help find your message.

Pre-paid term clients may also choose to sponsor the trivia question and answer slides as an added bonus!  This is an excellent opportunity for you to get your company logo and phone number before the eyes of our viewers again - adding to your "brand recognition".  This additional advertising value is offered to "pre-paid term" clients for the low cost of simple slide production costs.  There are NO rental fees for these "sponsored" slides, and they are guaranteed to run for no less than 90 days!  This is a great added value for your advertising dollar.

Slide advertising fees can also vary according to how many slides  are chosen to run per screen. We will be more than happy to discuss and/or quote a program of advertising that suits the needs and budget of your company or business.

Slide "Creatives" can be generated from an old "print" ad or from scratch. All we need are pictures (of your store or what you want to feature), a business logo, contact info, and an idea of what you want to communicate; our artists will do the rest - we don't go to press with your creative until you are satisfied! The cost of slide production includes all aspects of the creation of your slide, from the gathering of images and ideas, to the first proof of your slide ad, any subsequent changes, to the final output of your slides. We create 6 slides for you (2 per screen) to ensure that your Ad shows twice prior to showtime. Best of all - You OWN your ad! If you want to use it for other media, or change it with another company, that is your perogative.

- 3 Screens for advertising your business.
- 2 showings per screen, per evening (on average) - 7 days a week = 12 advertisements per day (not counting matinee performances).
- Divided by 30 days = That works out to just 25¢ per ad!
- Can you afford  not to be on the big screens for a little over a quarter per ad
- Shouldn't you be the one to be recognized first?

Information:

- Slide ads are shown twice before each showing.
- The number of performances per day of a given movie is based on the running time of the film. Very long films (i.e. 180 minutes), may show only once per evening.
- Off season matinees are on weekends (Saturday & Sunday) and holidays (Christmas, March Break, Easter Weekend, etc.)
- Daily matinees during the summer months (end of June to Labour Day weekend).
- From time to time we do add additional showings (midnight, raindays, early dismissal days). These events or additional showings are NO charge to you.
