I didn't believe there could be anything new about vending machines...so I looked at their site. I'm surprised no one ever thought of doing what they're doing. I guess the most obvious and simple things are not always clear. It makes sense...a consumer buying a pizza from a vendong machine has to wait a minute for the slice to warm up...so he's captive to the steaming advertising on the vending machine. This opens up a whole new adertising medium...pretty cool. But is this a company worth buying now? Does anyone know anything special about this stock?

AVT, Inc. Named Leader in Bringing Digital Media to the Vending Industry
Tuesday October 7, 12:37 pm ET

- Increased Traffic, Sales, Revenue, Loyalty -

CORONA, Calif., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AVT, Inc. (formerly Automated Vending Technologies), (Pink Sheets: AVTC - News), said today that Automatic Merchandiser, a leading publication in the vending industry, is reporting that AVT has done more extensive testing than any other company of liquid crystal display (LCD) screens for vending machines.
"In recent years, AVT has successfully placed its machines, equipped with proprietary hardware and software, at diverse vending locations," says the article, entitled "Digital Media Revolution is Coming," and authored by Michael Kasavana, Ph.D., who is an endowed professor at Michigan State University and an expert on vending technologies.

"AVT is both a vending machine operator and manufacturer and has developed its own vending management software and hardware," Dr. Kasavana writes. The thesis of his article is that digital media will effectively increase traffic, sales, revenues and loyalty for the vending industry.

Dr. Kasavana writes that AVT's glassfront machines feature a 7-inch wide LCD screen, located above the selection keypad, playing pre-recorded, streaming video advertising content. Video and media content are downloaded to the systems PC via a connection to the Internet, which allows content to be transferred to the machine remotely. The LCD screen relies on the same PC connection that allows remote access of other machine activities such as cashless vending, machine sales activity and system diagnostics.

During the past year, AVT tested streaming video commercials in 10 of its machines in cooperation with select vending product suppliers. These machines displayed commercials for a variety of products, including Otis Spunkmeyer Inc., Living Essentials Inc. (maker of 5-hour Energy) and Tropicana Products Inc.

Another 10 machines serving similar populations were configured with identical product offerings but without the video screens for comparison purposes. As a side note, the machines involved in the test did not have cashless readers.

The company has reported that the machines featuring the video commercials experienced sales increases of 20 to 30 percent over the machines without the broadcast content. While these tests are only a first step, they demonstrate the potential impact digital media can have on sales of promoted items.

One AVT representative compared the content of the vending video screens to TV infomercials, which have proven to be a successful sales tool. Simply stated, this approach is a powerful form of point of sale advertising, Dr. Kasavana concludes.

AVT founder Shannon Illingworth stated, "We are delighted with this important article and the understanding that Dr. Kasavana has that the revolution we are bringing to the vending industry combines both the real opportunity for increased merchandising of products in the machine as well as obtaining revenues from saleable advertising spots. It was recently reported that the sales in the vending industry totaled $23 billion in 2007. We are pleased to be a key part of such a growing industry."

AVT has entered into the largest agreement in the company’s history. A 6.5 Million dollar revenue increase over the course of the next year will significantly surpass the companies’ projections. The technology based manufacturing company has dominated its industry by incorporating streaming advertising directly on the vending machines utilizing their own patented technology, which in turns secures the company’s position.
