No screen on your machine? We send you one, free.
An older machine with no display is not out of the ad program. We ship you a screen — on top of the machine, down one side of it or on its face — and it runs the same network the built-in screens do. $50–$100 a month on an average machine.
Before
AfterScreen mock-upWhich machines
If it sells something, it can carry a screen.
The screen goes on the outside of the machine rather than inside it, so its age, its make and whether it takes cards are not what decides this. What decides it is the shape of the cabinet and the room it stands in. Three things tell us both:
- Make and model
- Whatever is on the plate. A snack machine, a drinks machine, a claw, a specialty machine — we place screens on all of them.
- Where it stands
- The kind of room and roughly how busy it is. This is what decides what the screen earns: $50–$100 a month is the average, and $500+ is what a busy floor does.
- A photograph
- One picture of the machine, taken on your phone, with its top and one side in frame. That is the whole of the qualifying.
Where it goes
More than one screen, and more than one place it goes.
Machines are not one shape, so the screens are not one screen. These are three of ours on machines that had none, photographed where they stand. Which of them your machine takes is what the photograph on the first call settles — you do not have to work it out yourself.
A drinks machine with one of our screens on top, running a Wawa advertisement. On top of the machine
A flat top, with clear space above it
The screen sits above the machine, over the product window and at the eye level of whoever is walking towards it. It is the one most machines take.
A drinks machine at a campus entrance, the screen down its right-hand side running Duracell. On the side of the machine
A panel free down one side of the face
A tall screen level with the machine and running most of its height, taking the place of a panel rather than standing above it. A low ceiling, a shelf or a sign over the top does not rule this one out.
A drinks machine outside a storefront, the screen on its face running Coca-Cola. On the front of the machine
A clear panel on the face, beside or under the selections
The screen goes on the face of the machine itself, in front of whoever is standing at it choosing rather than off to one side of them. A machine boxed in on both sides and under something can still take this one.
Every one of them runs the same network, carries the same ad categories and pays the same way. Where the screen sits changes nothing about what it earns — that is decided by the room.
The process
From a phone call to a screen that earns.
Five steps, and the first one is yours. Nothing is signed for a location, nothing is financed, and the machine keeps trading the whole way through.
Tell us what you have
The make and model of the machine, the kind of room it stands in, and a photograph of it with the top and one side in frame. That is everything we need to say which screen goes on it.
One call, no card- Before anything is sent
We check it fits
We look at the machine and at the room, and tell you which screen it takes and what a screen is worth where that machine stands. A quiet corridor and a busy lobby are not the same offer, and we say so before anything ships.
- No cost to you
The screen ships to you
Free. You are not buying it, renting it or financing it — it is ours to send, and sending it is how we get our advertisers another screen to run on.
- The machine sells exactly as it did
It goes on the machine
On top of it, down one side of it or on its face, whichever your machine takes — see the three placements above. Nothing inside the machine changes: the same product, the same prices, the same card reader, the same service round.
- $50–$100 a month on average
It goes live on the network
The same network the built-in screens run. Ads play between orders, every ad category has a switch of its own in your dashboard, and the screen starts earning. What it earns is set by the room it stands in — a busy floor does $500+.
The fifteen minutes
What the first call actually settles.
We would rather go through this against your machine than in general, because the answers are different for a lobby and a corridor and for a cabinet with a sign over it. Here is the whole of it, so you know what you are agreeing to sit through.
- 01
Which of the three screens your machine takes
Decided by the photograph, not by the make or the model.
- 02
What that screen is likely to earn where the machine stands
A quiet corridor and a busy lobby are not the same offer, and we say which yours is.
- 03
What it needs to run, and what we need from the room
Gone through against your machine and your venue rather than in general.
- 04
Who fits it, and when it turns up
Nothing ships until you have said yes on this call.
- 05
What happens if the machine moves, or you stop
The screen is ours; you are not buying it, financing it or stuck with it.
- 06
How the money reaches you
What is paid, when it is paid and what it is paid on.
Nothing ships, and nothing is signed, until that call has happened and you have said yes.
What it costs
Nothing, and it is not a loan.
- $0for the screen
- $50–$100a month, on an average machine
- 500+machines already running ads
You are not buying the screen, renting it or financing it. Advertisers pay to reach the people standing at your machine and they need a screen to do it, so putting one there is the whole of our interest — $100,000+ has been earned across the network to date.

Tell us what you have, and we will tell you what fits.
The same three things the call starts with. If you would rather say it out loud, call 703-507-2017 — it is the ad team that answers.
One we shipped
A screen we sent, and what it took.
This is not a built-in screen earning this. It is one of ours, on a machine that had none — the same thing we would send you.

Who pays for it
The screen is free because these are buying the time on it.
500+ machines are running this network and $100,000+ has been paid out across it to date. Yours would be one more screen for the same advertisers to bid on.
Third-party trademarks, shown to identify the advertisers buying on the network. Which of them may appear on your machine is a switch in your dashboard.
Questions
What operators ask before they say yes.
What is the catch — why is the screen free?
Will it work on an old machine?
Does my machine stop selling what it sells now?
Do I have to choose the ads that run on it?
What do you need from me to start?
Can I do this while Pinpoint is still finding my machine a location?
Send us a photo of your machine.
Fifteen minutes on the phone tells you which of the three goes on it and what that screen is worth where the machine stands. Nothing ships until you say so.
