Leite Burg Cinema is pleased to announce that with effect from 1 January, 2012, ticket sales of 128,000 last year, a figure far exceeding previous attendance records, and the conflict in the face of national statistics.

a creative marketing plan, facility improvements, strict budget control and focus on customer service, Leite Burg Cinema owners Rich Daughtridge and Dave Schleigh may not be crazy after all. It takes a lot of $ 7 and $ 8 to make movies work on the business, but was lucky to have a community that came out and supported us, and hopefully continue to do so, said Daughtridge. It was also grateful for the excellent management Beccy, Andy and Kyle. They work very hard and care about the performance Leite Burg Theatre. Things are moving in the right direction.

two entrepreneurs, including co-owners with marketing and design firm, the High Rock Leite Burg Cinema two years ago, and the theater was reopened for public until six months later. This project was definitely hard, but we kept pushing and believing that he was going to market at an affordable movie experience, if we could improve the situation, said Schleigh. Our goal is to continue to invest in the project will create a kind of atmosphere people want to come back. We have some major improvements planned 2012th

One of the most popular

improvements since the beginning of the installation of VIP seats 2 10 auditoriums. VIP seats are leather recliners instead of a traditional theater seats. Based on the demand for the VIP seats, 100 more have been commissioned at the beginning of installation of the 2012th VIP room, it is also a place for dinner and a movie Saturday night.

Leite Burg theater owners not only succeeded in turning the company around, but they did it despite the general downturn in movie ticket sales. Some statistics:

In 2004 (the earliest records available), the upper monthly Leite Burg Cinema attendance was 16,478 in July.

2011 the top six Leite Burg Cinema attendance was 18,836 in July by 14% since 2004. So even though more than 18% of the annual movie ticket sales nationally since 2002, Leite Burg The film was 14% in attendance over the top figure in July of the same span. Theater companies (exhibitors) can be a difficult place to live. Most of the major film distributors such as Warner Bros., Paramount, Fox, etc., is more a movie ticket prices, sometimes as many as 70% of the blockbuster film. Theatres rely on promotions and other revenue generating line to make it work. Industry is also characterized by large corporate exhibitors like Regal Cinemas, AMC theater, Cine Mark Theaters and Carmike theaters. Many of the theaters they owned and operated companies boast digital audio, 3D, and services such as stadium seating. Smaller, independent theaters, where Leite Burg Theatre, is hard to justify the investment, or just investing. Instead, they rely on the original 35mm equipment and less attractive amenities.

So how do smaller theaters? Ironically, part of the formula that seems to be working Leite Burg Cinema, by promising to make the most money, namely, to give back to community organizations. So far this year, Galesburg Leite Cinema has given up over $ 5,000 in cash to local agencies through a program called Movie frequent Card fundraiser. The program works like a loyalty card customers by giving them the freebies they get their cards punched on several occasions, but each dish, $ 1 is fed back to the company on the map. As the last number, there are 68 institutions involved in these creative fundraising program in the region. A complete list is available at http://www.leitersburgcinemas.com/fundraising.

We believe that clean, that local authorities are simply having their friends and family movies in cinemas Leite Burg. We set it up so that the agencies have a zero out-of-pocket expenses if they attend. They just need to go beyond custom and their loyalty cards to encourage people to watch the next movie Leite Burg Theatre. A family of four can help your agency $ 4 cards. And these economic times every little bit helps, Beccy said Cottrill, Leite Burg Cinema Office Manager. For us, it has two main purposes: it aligns with our desire to positively impact the community and grassroots marketing efforts to build awareness of the Burg Theatre to reopen Leite. The program has been so successful, in fact, the theater will take applications from organizations interested in participating in the 2012th They say that the goal is to give away $ 10,000 to local organizations in the following year.

creative ideas in addition to funds for local organizations Leite Burg Cinema is practically invented the business model of small, locally owned theaters. We realized before we even sold our first movie tickets, which must be part of any business income, Daughtridge said. They have taken things such as the On-Screen Advertising, Group Rates schools, clubs, etc., and Facility Rental packages, seminars and parties. Other ideas for a dinner and a movie, VIP seats selected films, $ 5 movies before noon, retro nights, self-service or execution of any size and unlimited soda and popcorn. We constantly look for creative ways to make the film and the events will be fun and affordable.

Currently, Burg Cinema

Leite probably thought of marketing, how to restore a classic action movie, and they’ve been in the black, but there are still many questions on the future of cinema in general.

challenges are both independent and major theater exhibitors as: video on demand (VOD). Many film distributors openly discuss options for first-run movies could coincide with the theatrical release. Window films have already fallen some in as little as 60 days before the release of the DVD and VOD. For customers who fear it will hurt movie ticket sales even more. And as technological advances continue, large LCD televisions and home-3D features, the question here in the future, people will continue to go to the movies?

Leite Burg Cinema is closed now offering the cheapest movie going experience, continues to improve facilities and gradually pushing the envelope creatively marketing as many options as possible. Their work to date.
