CaféMedia MTL

Where can I place ads inside a café?

Updated June 2026
Short answer

Inside a Montréal café, your ad goes on the tables. CaféMedia placements are high-aesthetic coasters and table placards that sit directly in front of guests for the length of their visit — the most-seen surface in the room.

Tabletop coasters

Custom-printed coasters sit on each table, under the cup. They're handled, read, and photographed — a tactile surface guests engage with directly while they sit.

Table placards

Standing placards add a vertical, eye-level surface on the table. They're ideal for a headline, a QR code, or a call to action guests can act on without leaving their seat.

Why the table beats the wall

Tabletop is the one surface a guest looks at for their entire visit. Unlike posters or screens elsewhere in the room, a coaster is right under the cup — close, unavoidable, and impossible to ad-block.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a QR code on my placement?
Yes. Placards and coasters are well suited to a QR code or short URL that lets guests act from their seat.
Who produces the coasters and placards?
The physical pieces are produced to spec and delivered to the café, where the host places them on the tables. You approve the design first.
Can I place ads on the café walls or windows?
CaféMedia focuses on tabletop placements — coasters and table placards — because the table is the surface guests look at for their whole visit.
