ADbuddy is an advertising and design company from Surat. We run TV screens inside salons across the city, where customers wait 30 to 60 minutes and watch the ads that play. We also design brands, build websites and run digital marketing for clients in India and abroad.

How much does salon screen advertising cost in Surat?

Prices are per month for a block of 25 salons, GST included. A 5-second ad is about ₹3,000, a 10-second ad about ₹5,000 and a 15-second ad about ₹9,000. After that it is roughly ₹500 for each extra second. More salons cost proportionally more.

Do salon customers actually watch the ads?

Yes. A salon customer sits for 30 to 60 minutes, usually facing the screen, and there is no skip button. Your ad plays once every 30 minutes, about 28 times a day on each screen, so a customer who waits the full hour usually sees it twice.

Which areas of Surat do you cover?

Adajan, Vesu, City Light, Katargam, Varachha, Udhna and more. You choose which salons or areas your ad runs in, and the Advertise page shows the current list.

Do you work with businesses outside Surat?

Salon screens and print are only in Surat. Design, websites, SEO, video, ads and automation we do remotely, for clients across India, the US, the UK, Europe, the Gulf and Australia.

Why It Works

How long people actually look.

Most ads get a few seconds before people move on. A salon screen gets the whole wait.

Ideal Advertisers

Best for businesses that need a minute to explain.

A new flat, a wedding set, a clinic, a coaching class. Things people think about before they decide, which is exactly what they can do while they wait.

Real Estate

Show the project, the layout and the price in 30 seconds. People visit the site already knowing what they want to see.

Jewellery

Show your wedding collection in the season. When people walk into your shop, they already recognise the designs.

Clinics

Explain what you treat, calmly and clearly. People choose a doctor when they have time to think, not while driving past a hoarding.

Education

Show your courses, teachers and results. Parents see it again on every visit, right when admissions are open.

Finance

Loans, insurance and investments take time to explain. Here you have the customer's attention for much longer than a few seconds.

Restaurants

Show your best dishes and today's offer. Many customers go for a meal straight after the salon.

Fashion

Show the new collection to people who have just spent an hour on how they look.

Home Decor

People think about the new sofa or kitchen when they have time to sit and look. A salon wait is exactly that time.

Events

Reach people in the neighbourhood where your event is happening, the ones who can actually come.
