Where Can Advertisers Launch Self-Serve Video Campaigns?

At a glance: Brands today have unprecedented access to physical retail spaces through Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) platforms. Instead of navigating complex, long sales cycles, advertisers can now launch self-serve video campaigns instantly across premium high-traffic physical touchpoints. Take 10 Media provides direct access to over 1,500+ active retail locations, enabling you to place your video ads on convenience store displays and ATM screens. By utilizing our streamlined self-serve portal, you can build, launch, and optimize your campaign directly at the point of decision, ensuring your brand is front and center when customers are ready to buy.

Why In-Store Video Advertising is the New Digital Frontier

Consumer attention is more fragmented than ever. Online ad-blockers, crowded social media feeds, and escalating digital acquisition costs make it incredibly challenging to capture qualified customer attention. Meanwhile, physical retail locations offer a rare sanctuary of captive engagement.

In-store digital video advertising reaches consumers in a distraction-free environment. When customers stand in a checkout line or retrieve cash from an ATM, they are not multitasking on their laptops or scrolling past social media ads. They are highly receptive to environmental cues.

By utilizing self-serve advertising, brands can bridge the gap between digital convenience and real-world impact. You gain the power to programmatically purchase ad space on physical screens without waiting for sales negotiations, custom insertion orders, or agency overhead.

The Power of 1,500+ High-Traffic Retail Locations

When selecting where to run your campaigns, the strength of the underlying screen network is paramount. Take 10 Media has curated a network of over 1,500+ active, high-visibility digital screens strategically placed throughout key regions.

Our retail media footprint is intentionally designed to sit at the absolute epicenter of local commerce:

• Premium Convenience Store Environments: Convenience stores are high-frequency hubs. The average consumer visits a local market multiple times a week. Displays positioned near checkout counters and main entrance aisles reach these patrons precisely when they have wallets in hand and are actively spending.
• The Point of Decision: Advertising inside physical store environments taps into immediate demand. If a consumer sees an ad for a refreshing beverage, a local service, or a nearby automotive center, the gap between exposure and action is remarkably narrow.
• A Wide Regional Network: With over 1,500+ locations, you can distribute your message regionally or target specific clusters to fit your business’s precise geographic requirements.

Reaching Customers on High-Engagement ATM Screens

One of the most effective touchpoints in modern digital out-of-home advertising is the ATM screen. While standard retail displays capture broad store traffic, ATM screens offer a uniquely concentrated zone of focus.

When a user interacts with an ATM, their eyes are locked onto the screen for an extended period—often ranging from 45 seconds to two minutes. This close-range interaction creates a premium ad slot with nearly 100% viewability.

ATM Topper Displays vs. Active Transaction Screens

Within the ATM footprint, we offer multiple ways to deliver your video creative:

1. ATM Topper Screens: These are digital screens placed directly on top of ATM enclosures. They are elevated to eye-level, making them visible to both active ATM users and shoppers navigating the surrounding store aisles.
2. Active Transaction Displays: These screens capture the undivided attention of the user during key transaction steps.

By placing your message here, you are engaging a consumer who is actively conducting a financial transaction—meaning they have demonstrated immediate spending power and are in an active, focused state of mind.

Comparing Your Self-Serve Screen Options

To help you decide which locations and touchpoints are best suited for your marketing objectives, let’s look at how convenience store screens compare to ATM screens and other traditional digital advertising formats:

Placement Type	Customer State of Mind	Average Dwell Time	Best Suited For	Viewability Level
Convenience Store Displays	Casual, browsing, preparing to buy	1–3 Minutes	Impulse purchases, CPG, local services	High (Broad traffic exposure)
ATM Screens & Toppers	High focus, transaction-oriented	45–90 Seconds	Financial services, high-intent local offers	Extremely High (1-on-1 focus)
Traditional Online Video	Distracted, ad-weary, passive scrolling	2–5 Seconds	Broad awareness, remarketing	Low (Easy to skip or block)
Static Billboard / Out-of-Home	Fast-moving, driving, passive observation	3–5 Seconds	Name recognition, general awareness	Medium (Low dwell time)

As the comparison demonstrates, in-store retail screens—particularly convenience store counters and ATM screens—provide a compelling mixture of high focus and immediate purchase intent that digital or roadside outdoor ads simply cannot replicate.

The Self-Serve Ad Portal: Streamlining Your Campaign Launch

If you are ready to put your brand on physical screens, you do not need to deal with a manual sales team. The entire booking, creative uploading, and scheduling process is managed through our digital self-serve platform.

To get started, simply navigate to the Take 10 Media Ads Portal and register your account. The platform walks you through four simple steps:

1. Select Your Network: Choose from our 1,500+ retail environments and pick the venue types that align with your demographic.
2. Set Your Campaign Parameters: Define your flight dates and establish your budget. Our platform gives you full control over how your budget is distributed, with no hidden administration fees or rigid tier pricing.
3. Upload Your Video Creative: Submit your video file using our recommended dimensions and duration. High-contrast, dynamic, text-friendly video works best in active retail spaces where audio may be secondary.
4. Review and Launch: Review your target locations, budget allocation, and scheduled flight. Once you submit, your campaign enters our moderation queue.

Content Compliance: Going Live Upon Approval

Because Take 10 Media’s network operates inside physical retail locations and neighborhood businesses, we maintain strict quality standards to protect both our network hosts and our advertisers.

Every single video campaign submitted through the self-serve ad portal is thoroughly vetted by our dedicated internal review team. All campaigns must go through a formal moderation process, and ads will go live immediately upon approval.

To ensure a smooth and speedy approval process, follow these creative guidelines:

• Clear Messaging: Avoid small, illegible fonts. Retail and ATM screens are best suited for bold headlines, large logos, and strong calls to action that are easy to digest in a few seconds.
• Brand Safety: Ensure all creative content is family-friendly and appropriate for all public audiences, including children and families visiting convenience stores.
• Technical Compliance: Verify that your file is output in the exact format, resolution, and aspect ratio specified in our creator documentation.

Once our team verifies that your video content meets these high-quality and community standards, your campaign is pushed directly to the designated digital players, displaying your message to thousands of real-world shoppers.
