The minimum display time for static display images is 12 seconds at a time. We recommend advertisers keep their message short and to the point. After a potential customer sees your ad and contacts the advertiser, at that point more information can be provided to the potential customer in detail. However, if you need to get across a lot of information on your static display advertisement, then you can sign up your static ad for one of the longer ad display times.

Animated or video advertisements can display for 15, 18, 24 or 30 seconds. The minimum display time for animated and video advertisements is 15 seconds. For these types of advertisements can use video footage or have your logo swoop in for a dramatic impression. Animated or video advertisements can take considerably longer production time to create than designing a static display advertisement."; ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// qarray[1] = "How Many Screens Can I Sign Up For?"; aarray[1] = "The more theaters you sign up for the less you'll pay per screen and the more exposure your business will receive. Currently Alaska Grafix is available to advertise in Juneau, Ketchikan, & Sitka in SE Alaska, as well as Eagle River and Wasilla in the Mat-Su Valley area. Among all the cinemas in these areas there are 20 screens available to advertise on. In these individual areas there are 7 screens in Juneau - 2 screens downtown and 5 screens at the Glacier Cinemas, 2 screens in Ketchikan, 2 Screens in Sitka, 6 screens in Eagle River, 3 screens in Wasilla.

At some locations the projectors that display the onscreen advertisements onto each cinema screen are networked together to the same media player, meaning what plays in one cinema is the same exact thing showing in the rest of the cinemas at that location. This also means that you can only sign up for all the screens at that location and can not split up the screens. The locations which can allow an advertiser to split up the screens if they choose to do so are the 2 screens downtown in Juneau, the 2 screens in Ketchikan, and the 2 screens in Sitka."; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// qarray[2] = "How Many Weeks Can I Sign Up For?"; aarray[2] = "The more weeks you sign up for the less you'll pay per week. We recommend that advertisers at least sign up for a minimum of 4 weeks in order to see some results. Anything less is more appropriate for special announcements for promoting someone's birthday or anniversary. Considering that each week a wide variety of movies are released, within a month's time you can on average hit the adult R-rated crowd to the latest kids G-rated group and their parents, at least once.

However, repetition is the key and the more often people see your advertisement the more often your message and name brand sinks in. When you sign up for 16 weeks (4 months) or more you will receive a weekly price break per screen as well as 4 additional bonus weeks free. When you sign up 30 weeks (7.5 months) or more you will receive a bigger weekly price break per screen as well as 6 weeks additional bonus weeks free. However, our full year package presents the greatest savings to your business while giving you maximum exposure to a highly desirable demographic. You pay for 44 weeks (11 months) at our lowest weekly rate per screen and in addition receive 8 bonus weeks free, for a total of 52 weeks."; ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// qarray[3] = "Can I Have an Audio Announcement Play While My Advertisement Displays?"; aarray[3] = "Available at all cinema locations, except the Glacier Cinemas in Juneau until 2011, we have the ability to add an audio announcement that will play while your advertisement is displayed on the screen.

Our highly skilled, professional graphic design team can certainly help you create your advertisement. Our production costs are only $50/hr and the first hour is free. A basic static display image advertisement usually requires only 1-4 hours to put together. Animated and video ads take a little more time to put together but can have a huge impact on your audience. Depending on how complex you want to make your animated advertisement, production time can take anywhere from 4 to 18 hours.

We'll take your logo, any imagery you provide, and design your advertisement specifically for the screen. Before anything goes up on display at the theaters we send you a proof of the advertisement for your final approval, ensuring that the information is correct and there are no misspellings, etc. We are also available to do on-site photography or videography using our professional media equipment.

You are welcome to design your own advertisements for display if you have the digital graphic tools available to you, and therefore no design production charges will be applied, provided your advertisement is designed according to our layout specifications. You can email your finished design to files@akonscreen.com or upload them to our FTP site."; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// qarray[10] = "Can I advertise on the Menu Boards in the Lobby?"; aarray[10] = "Yes, digital lobby menu board screens are currently available to advertise on at the Gross-Alaska theaters in Juneau and Ketchikan (Glacier Valley Juneau, Downtown Juneau & Ketchikan).

You can have your onscreen advertisement displayed on these lobby menu boards for only a monthly charge of $10/theater ($2.50/week per theater). Take advantage of this low rate now while these lobby menu boards are just getting started, because rates may increase next year.

It should be noted that the lobby menu boards at the Juneau Downtown 20th Century Twin and the Ketchikan Coliseum are verticle screens, meaning they are much taller than they are wide. These menu boards will require a different ad design (poster style) than ads designed for the auditorium cinema screen. Audio is not available for lobby menu board advertising.";
