Café tabletop advertising reaches a seated, local audience for the length of their visit, can't be ad-blocked or scrolled past, and comes with weekly photo proof. Those are advantages that Instagram ads, flyers, and billboards each miss in different ways.
Instagram ads are skippable in an instant and compete with an endless feed. A café coaster sits in front of a guest for their whole visit and can't be scrolled past or blocked. Café placements also avoid rising digital ad costs and platform-auction volatility.
Flyers are easy to ignore and end up in the bin. A tabletop placement is part of the table the guest is already using, and you get weekly photo proof that it's actually in place, something a flyer drop can never confirm.
Billboards are glanced at for seconds, from a distance, with little targeting. Café advertising puts your brand within arm's reach of a specific, local audience you choose by neighbourhood, at a fraction of out-of-home media costs.
