Put your photo on thescreen in front of you
Instant Ads are a QR purchase onone Take 10 Media screen—for friends, families, and same-day promoters. Scan, upload a photo, pick a duration, and playon that device. Brand CPM flights belong onself-serve campaigns.
The Instant product needs the QR from a participating screen so it knows which device to play on. Price is the live duration quote after you scan—not a public national rate card.
Built for people at the screen,not media plans
Instant Ads sell a short moment on the display you are standing in front of. If you need dates, venues, and a campaign dashboard, that isself-serve.
Friends & families
Road-trip selfies, kid birthday shout-outs, “we’re on TV” moments at the C-store. Everyday people, not agency IOs.
Couples & fans
Anniversary notes, pre-game jersey photos, traveler “we were here” keepsakes on a neighborhood screen.
Same-day promoters
Food truck tonight, open-mic down the street, student club drop. One screen, this evening—not a regional flight.
Not for CPM buyers
Local brands and agencies that need venues, budgets, and analytics should bookself-serve campaignsinstead of Instant duration tiers.
How Instant Ads work
A public mobile flow tied to the screen you scanned. No advertiser login. Moderation still happens before you pay.
Scan the QR
Use the code on a participating Take 10 Media C-store or ATM screen. That token tells Instant which device to play on.
Upload a photo
Phone photo plus an optional short caption. Instant is photo-first; brand video flights stay on self-serve.
Pass review
Brand-safe check before checkout. Rejected uploads are not charged. These are family-traffic retail screens.
Pay the live quote
Pick a duration tier for that campaign, pay, then the creative is scheduled on the originating screen.
You can also opencms.take10media.com/instantfrom here—but without a screen QR, Instant cannot attach your purchase to a venue.
Pricing is a per-screen quote
Instant Ads do not publish a national rate card. You pay for minutes on the device you scanned—not a CPM flight.
Duration tiers are set by that screen’s Instant Ad campaign. The mobile checkout is the only price that counts.

Instant Ads FAQ
What Instant Ads are, who they are for, how the quote works, and how they differ from self-serve CPM campaigns.
What are Instant Ads?
Instant Ads are short, on-the-spot purchases of screen time on a participating Take 10 Media display. You scan the QR on that screen, upload a photo, add an optional caption, pass moderation, pick a duration, and pay. After checkout, the creative plays on the same screen you scanned—not across a booked venue list.
Who are Instant Ads for?
Instant Ads are for people already at the screen: friends, families, couples, sports fans, travelers, and same-day local promoters. Brand and CPM buyers who need multi-day flights across venues should use self-serve campaigns at take10media.com/self-serve/ instead. Same hardware, different product.
How does Instant Ads pricing and duration work?
Price is a duration-tier quote for that screen’s Instant Ad campaign—not a national rate card and not self-serve CPM. You see the live options after you scan the QR. Hosts set the tiers for their device; longer usually costs more, but do not multiply a base rate. The checkout quote is the source of truth.
How are Instant Ads different from self-serve campaigns?
Instant Ads buy minutes on one screen, usually a photo, with no advertiser account. Self-serve campaigns book dates and venues for brand video flights, with approval and a campaign dashboard. Compare the two on take10media.com/self-serve/ or start Instant at cms.take10media.com/instant.
How do I start an Instant Ad?
At a participating C-store or ATM screen, scan the on-screen QR. That opens the Instant product at cms.take10media.com/instant for that device. Upload a photo, wait for moderation, choose a duration from the live quote, and pay. If you are not standing at a screen, you still need a screen QR—the public Instant URL alone does not pick a venue for you.
Do I need an advertiser account for Instant Ads?
No. Instant Ads are a public mobile checkout. Self-serve brand campaigns still require a portal login and approval before booking.
Are Instant Ads moderated?
Yes. Uploads are reviewed for venue and network brand safety before checkout. Rejected submissions do not proceed to payment. These are family-traffic retail screens, not an unfiltered feed. Timing varies with queue load—often minutes, sometimes longer. We do not claim live-in-seconds with zero review.
Where do Instant Ads appear?
Only on Take 10 Media screens that have Instant Ads enabled—typically US convenience store and ATM environments showing a QR prompt. Instant does not book a national flight or guarantee a screen near you until that host has turned the product on.
