Advertising at Ford City Mall

Put your brand in front of Chicago shoppers
Ford City Mall serves shoppers across Chicago, IL and the wider Illinois trade area. Traffic concentrates around the anchor entrances, the center court, and the food court, and those are the nodes where common-area advertising earns its keep.
Because Ford City Mall is a routine destination for households across Illinois, the same shoppers return week after week. Campaigns that run a full quarter here compound: recognition builds, then recall, then response.
We place illuminated backlit panels, sky banners, digital screens, standees, escalator wraps, column wraps, and exterior spectaculars in the common areas of Ford City Mall, and we manage production, install, permitting, and proof of posting end to end.
Fourth-quarter inventory at Ford City Mall is usually committed well before Black Friday, so holiday flights should be reserved in early autumn.

Why advertise inside Ford City Mall
Advertisers choose Ford City Mall when they need local dominance rather than thin national reach. One property, bought well, can own the visual field of an entire Chicago trade area for the length of a flight.

Planning your flight at Ford City Mall
Most advertisers at Ford City Mall begin with one anchor format, add digital screens for promotional bursts, and hold the flight for a full quarter so recognition has time to turn into response.
We confirm sizes, unit counts, and pricing at Ford City Mall with the property before anything is booked, then handle production, installation, permitting, and proof-of-posting photography.
