VendMedia

Get paid for the screens on your machines.

Most smart cooler screens just play a logo. VendMedia fills their idle time with paid programmatic ads, and your share goes to your VendHub account.

How it works

Ads run on their own. Your share lands in your account.

  1. 1

    VendMedia runs on your screen

    A lightweight app lives on your screen. Every few seconds it requests ads from programmatic ad exchanges.

  2. 2

    We send the ad to your screen

    The winning ad displays on your screen. Fully automated, no work on your side.

  3. 3

    Proof of play. You get paid.

    A timestamped validation goes back to the exchange, and your share is paid to your VendHub account.

Your screens, your rules

You decide what plays.

Block categories

Opt out of entire verticals, like alcohol, gambling or political.

Block advertisers

Brand-level control over who appears on your screens.

Sensitive categories

Require your explicit opt-in before they can run.

Frequency and timing

Set how often ads play and add time-of-day limits. Change it any time.

Ads only play when the screen is idle, so checkout is never interrupted.

Common questions

Questions operators ask.

How much will I make?+
It depends on the screen. Higher-traffic areas, higher-income viewers and premium cities earn the most, but lower-traffic screens still earn. Talk to us for an estimate for your network.
Do I just turn it on and ads appear?+
Yes. Once the VendMedia app is installed and your screen is connected, ads fill automatically. We handle the exchange connections, bidding and delivery.
Can I still use my screens for their main purpose?+
Yes. Ads play only during idle time, when the screen is not doing its main job. Shoppers are never interrupted.
What if I don't want certain ads?+
Block whole categories, specific advertisers, or set time-of-day limits. Your screens, your rules.
How do I get paid?+
Revenue is tracked per impression with timestamped proof of play. You get reporting and payouts based on ads actually delivered to your screens.
When do I get paid?+
It depends on the ad contract, usually 30 to 90 days. Some campaigns pay in installments, others at the end of the run. You get paid when we get paid.
