Reach Customers at the Moment of Purchase
Display your brand on payment terminals across hundreds of Australian retail locations. Captive audience. Zero ad blockers. Measurable results.
The Opportunity
Payment terminals are the most under-utilised advertising surface in retail
Australians make over 11 billion card transactions annually. Each one is an opportunity to put your brand in front of a customer.
Zero ad blockers. Zero skip buttons. Every ad is seen by every customer who pays. Unmatched attention at the point of purchase.
The payment terminal is the very last screen a customer sees before completing their purchase. Prime advertising real estate.
