Earn From Products and Your Screen at the Same Time. One System. Two Revenue Streams.

Powered by the VMFS Advertising Cloud, you manage your product catalog and advertising content remotely from one dashboard. VPlaced connects you with advertisers ready to pay for screen time.
A Fully Managed Media and Retail Operation
The VMFS advertising vending system is not just a machine with a screen. It is a fully managed media and retail operation, built, connected, and supported so you earn from both sides.

VMFS Advertising Cloud
Products, pricing, and ad content, all managed remotely.
Your Machine Screen Has Been Running 24 Hours a Day. It Just Has Not Been Earning.
The large HD display on every VMFS advertising vending machine is a media asset that faces your location's foot traffic 24 hours a day. Most of the time, nobody is actively buying from the machine. But people are walking past it, waiting near it, glancing at it. That is an audience. Local businesses pay to reach exactly that kind of audience. Vending machine advertising turns that passive attention into revenue that runs alongside every product sale your machine makes.
The VMFS system makes this manageable. The VMFS Advertising Cloud connects your machine's display to your product catalog and your advertising content simultaneously. Your product menu is always available when a customer approaches. Advertising content runs on the display and is managed remotely through the same dashboard you use to update prices, check inventory, and review sales.
VPlaced handles the advertiser side. Instead of operators pitching local businesses on buying screen time, VPlaced connects your machine's advertising inventory with businesses and brands already looking for placement at your specific location type. The machine sells products. The screen sells attention. You manage it all from your phone.

How the Two Revenue Streams Work Together
A Large HD Display That Sells Products and Runs Advertising. Built Into Every Machine.
The screen on an advertising vending machine is not a tablet glued to the front of a box. It is a large format commercial grade HD display engineered for high traffic environments, visible from a distance, readable in varying light, and built to run 24 hours a day.
Large Format HD Display
High resolution, high brightness, engineered for commercial environments. Visible from across a room and readable in ambient light conditions from offices to gyms to transit hubs. The bigger and clearer the screen, the more valuable the advertising inventory.
Product Catalog and Advertising, One Platform
The same screen displays your product menu during customer interactions and advertising content managed through the VMFS Advertising Cloud. Both controlled from one dashboard. Content scheduling, product updates, ad approvals, and pricing adjustments, all remote.
Content That Performs at Point of Attention
People approaching a vending machine are at the highest moment of purchasing attention in any location. Their eyes are on the machine. Their wallet is already coming out. That is the moment vending machine digital signage reaches an audience, not as background noise, but as the primary visual focus.
Everything That Makes the Advertising Vending System Run, Configured for Your Deployment.
The advertising vending machine is not just hardware with a big screen. It is a complete system: product sales, advertising platform, remote management, and advertiser network, all working together from day one.
Large HD Display, Your Media Asset
The HD display on every VMFS advertising machine is the foundation of the second revenue stream. Large enough to be seen from a distance. Bright enough to be readable across different lighting conditions. Built for continuous 24/7 commercial operation without screen burn or brightness degradation. This is a media display that also drives product sales.
VMFS Advertising Cloud, One Dashboard
The VMFS Advertising Cloud runs both sides of the operation simultaneously. Product catalog management, pricing updates, and sales data sit alongside advertising content scheduling, ad approval workflows, and screen management. You manage one dashboard that runs both. Every machine in your fleet appears in the same view.
VPlaced Advertiser Network, Demand Comes to You
Most operators who hear about advertising revenue hit the same wall: who do I sell ad space to? The answer is that you do not have to. VPlaced is the advertiser network that connects your machine's screen inventory with local businesses, regional brands, and national advertisers looking for placements at your specific location type.
Advertising Content That Fits the Context
The VMFS Advertising Cloud supports video, animated graphics, static images, and promotional content scheduled to run at specific times of day. A gym machine can run supplement ads in the evening. An office machine can run lunch delivery promotions at 11:30am. The content is contextual, scheduled, and managed remotely.
Analytics, Know What Your Screen Is Worth
Every advertising impression on your screen is tracked through the VMFS Advertising Cloud. Impression counts, time of day performance, content engagement, and comparative performance across your fleet. This data lets you prove the value of your screen inventory to advertisers, set rates with confidence, and optimise which content runs when.
Two Revenue Streams, One Machine Footprint
The machine earns product margin on every sale. The screen earns advertising revenue from every brand paying for placement. Both revenue streams run from the same machine, on the same power connection, from the same floor space. The product business does not subsidise the advertising business. They run in parallel, independently profitable, managed together.
Every VMFS advertising vending machine ships with US based setup guidance, VMFS Advertising Cloud activation, operator training, and a 1 year standard warranty. The advertising system is live from day one.

The value of a vending machine's advertising screen is determined almost entirely by who walks past it and how often. A machine with 300 people passing it daily in an office lobby is a more attractive advertising placement than one with 30 daily visitors in a quiet corridor. Location is the product you are selling to advertisers.
High dwell locations outperform high throughput locations for advertising on vending machines. A gym with 200 members who stand in front of the machine for 90 seconds making a considered decision is more valuable to most advertisers than a transit hub with 500 people spending 30 seconds each. Dwell time, not just foot count, determines impression quality.
The strongest locations for an advertising vending machine are places where the audience has defined characteristics that an advertiser can target. VPlaced helps operators identify which locations carry the strongest advertising value, not just the strongest vending value.

One System. Every Operator Type. Product Revenue and Ad Revenue From Day One.
Whether you are placing your first advertising vending machine or adding advertising revenue to an existing fleet, the VMFS system is built around where you are.
Your first vending machine can earn from product sales and advertising revenue from the moment it is plugged in.
Most first time operators think about vending revenue in one dimension: products sold. The advertising vending system adds a second dimension from day one.
- The VMFS Advertising Cloud is active from day one. Your screen runs advertising content from launch.
- VPlaced connects your screen inventory with advertisers. You do not need to know how to sell advertising. VPlaced handles the advertiser side.
- Both revenue streams are visible in the same dashboard. Product sales and advertising revenue tracked together, in real time, from your phone.
- The setup process covers both the vending operation and the advertising setup. VMFS configures the Cloud dashboard, activates the advertising system, and walks you through both sides.
Why the Advertising Revenue Stream Changes the Economics
Product margin is fixed by your pricing and product cost. Advertising revenue is additive, it runs on top of every product sale without reducing margin.
Adding advertising revenue to an existing vending route multiplies what each location earns without adding a single new stop.
If you already have machines earning product revenue, the advertising system adds a second revenue layer at every screen equipped location.
- Every machine with a screen is now carrying advertising inventory. A five machine route becomes a five screen media network, and the value scales with the combined audience across your locations.
- One dashboard manages product operations and advertising operations across your entire fleet. Pricing, inventory, ad content, and impression analytics in the same view.
- VMarketed helps growing operators promote their advertising network to attract larger brands and regional advertisers. The bigger your fleet, the more valuable your collective screen inventory.
- Machines that previously earned purely on product margin now have a parallel advertising margin running alongside. The machines are already placed. The screens are already on.
What Advertising Revenue Does to an Existing Route
A well placed machine earning $2,000 per month in product revenue with an additional $400 to $800 in advertising revenue per month is a meaningfully different business.
Your venue's foot traffic is already valuable to advertisers. A vending machine with advertising is how you earn from it without any additional effort.
If you manage a gym, hotel, office building, or venue, every person who walks through your space is an advertising impression to a brand trying to reach that audience.
- Advertisers pay specifically to reach the audience inside locations like yours. A gym's advertising machine gives fitness brands a precise, context specific point of access to your members.
- A branded, advertising equipped vending machine in your space is a premium amenity that makes the space look current and intentional.
- Revenue share from both product sales and advertising is available through correctly structured agreements. VAdviced helps structure these arrangements.
- Venue owners with a defined audience have a strong pitch to brands. VMarketed can help you frame and position that opportunity.
Location Types With the Strongest Advertising Value
A fleet of advertising vending machines across multiple locations is a media network. Manage it like one.
Corporate campuses, hotel groups, sports venue chains, and retail networks deploying advertising vending at scale have an asset worth more than the sum of its parts.
- Every machine across your portfolio in one cloud dashboard. Product operations and advertising performance for every screen, every location, every day.
- Fleet wide analytics show which locations deliver the most impressions, which content performs best, and where to focus inventory to attract premium advertisers.
- Branded machines with your identity across every location. An enterprise advertising vending program with consistent branding is a significantly more attractive media buy for national brands. VMarketed helps position the program.
- VMFS supports enterprise advertising programs with fleet pricing, unified configuration, and dedicated support. VAdviced handles enterprise program agreements.

Advertising Vending Machine, Questions Every Operator Asks
Everything you need to know before turning your vending machine screen into a second revenue stream.
Do I need to find my own advertisers?
+VPlaced handles the advertiser connection. VPlaced is the network within the V Systems platform that matches your machine's screen inventory with local businesses, regional brands, and national advertisers looking for placements at your specific location type. You do not need to cold call businesses or know how to pitch advertising. VPlaced brings demand to your inventory based on your location, your audience profile, and your machine's impression data.
How does the VMFS Advertising Cloud work?
+The VMFS Advertising Cloud is the platform that manages both sides of your advertising vending machine from a single dashboard. Product catalog, pricing updates, inventory alerts, and sales data sit alongside advertising content scheduling, ad approvals, impression tracking, and screen management. You log in once and see the entire operation. Content updates, price changes, and ad scheduling all happen remotely from any device without a site visit.
What kind of content can run on the advertising screen?
+The VMFS Advertising Cloud supports video ads, animated graphics, static image campaigns, and promotional content in standard commercial advertising formats. Content can be scheduled to run at specific times of day, making the advertising inventory more valuable to time sensitive campaigns like food delivery promotions at lunch or fitness supplement brands in the post workout window. All content is approved through the cloud platform before it goes live.
Is advertising revenue guaranteed?
+Advertising revenue depends on filling your screen inventory with paying advertisers. It is not a fixed fee that comes with the machine. What VMFS provides is the platform to run it (the Advertising Cloud), the network to connect you with advertisers (VPlaced), and the agreement structure to formalise deals (VAdviced). Revenue potential varies by location quality, audience size, and how actively the advertising inventory is managed.
Can any VMFS machine be set up for advertising?
+The advertising system requires a machine with a compatible HD display. The advertising vending machines in the VMFS collection are all built with advertising compatible screens and VMFS Advertising Cloud integration pre configured. If you already have an existing VMFS machine, contact our team to discuss whether your current machine is compatible with the advertising upgrade.
What businesses typically advertise on vending screens?
+The strongest advertisers tend to match the location audience. Gyms attract fitness, nutrition, and supplement brands. Offices attract food delivery, software, and business brands. Universities attract fashion, entertainment, tech, and consumer brands. Hotels attract local experience providers and travel services. Local businesses such as restaurants, retailers, and service providers are consistent advertisers in almost every location type because the audience is geographically specific and relevant. VPlaced matches advertisers to your location profile.
How do I structure the agreement with an advertiser?
+Advertising agreements need to define the rate (cost per impression, per day, or per campaign period), the content approval process, the term length, impression volume commitments if applicable, and what happens if content requirements are not met. VAdviced helps operators build correctly structured advertising agreements before any brand goes live on the screen so the commercial relationship is clear from the start.
What warranty and support comes with an advertising machine?
+Every VMFS advertising vending machine ships with a 1 year standard warranty, with 2 year and 3 year extended options. Setup guidance, advertising system activation, and operator training are all included from a real US based team. The VMFS Advertising Cloud is activated as part of setup. Delivery options are Curbside, Liftgate, or White Glove. White Glove includes full installation, screen setup, cloud activation, advertising system walkthrough, and a complete operator session.
