Your support on social media makes more of an impact than you can imagine.
Traditional advertising for movies is almost nonexistent now. People have very diverse options from news to entertainment and it’s impossible to get your business in front of the people that matter without the help of our fans.
Social media interaction, likes, shares and views are absolutely what helps promote and keep small businesses open!
We appreciate you all and will keep providing a mix of fun, serious, entertaining and informative posts throughout the year!
