A snipe in the motion picture exhibition business includes filmed material shown before the feature presentation other than a trailer, such as "welcome to our theater", courtesy trailers ("no smoking, littering, talking"), promotions for the snack bar, and "daters", which announce the date for an upcoming show.
[citation needed] Snipes sometimes promote local events, places or merchants as a music track plays during intermissions.
[1] A snipe may also be a printed sticker or other material provided to be pasted over other print material such as posters or souvenir programs, in order to alter or add information.
