LaundryCard X-Changers have the ability to display advertising while they are idling (not in use). This mode can be used by the store owner to promote internal store specials, or even as a revenue source to sell advertising space. LaundryCard does not have a user interface to allow store owners to create, set up, or edit advertisements. The inclusion of advertisements must be completed by CCI technical support.
At any point, feel free to contact CCI Technical Support for any issues, concerns, or questions that may come up. You can reach them immediately by calling 630-930-5115, option 2. You can also reach them by email at support@laundrycard.com.Contact us!
Description
CCI will provide new LaundryCard owners (who have not previously had custom ads) up to two (2) free advertisements for self-promotion. Free advertisements are not available for commercially sold ads. If a store owner would like to purchase ads beyond the free advertisements, or for outside advertising revenue, CCI will charge a setup/configuration fee (see "CCI Pricing") for each advertisement based on content. Store owners must provide CCI with digital artwork formatted for a Windows PC (i.e. JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc...). Artwork can be emailed to support@laundrycard.com. If the artwork file is too large for email, contact CCI tech support for access to FTP upload or alternative methods of sending multimedia files.
Advertisements have the following parameters that must be configured per advertisement at the time of submission:
- What date should the ad begin and end
- How long the X-Changer is idle before advertising begins (default is 10 min, can be changed to any value)
- How long the ad should appear for before switching to the next ad
- And selecting one of two rotation options:
- Always maintain the ad rotation order regardless when the advertising was interrupted by the user (restart where it left off). Or;
- Always start the ad list from the beginning when the advertising is interrupted
Please provide CCI tech support with the desired settings for each ad that is submitted as these can only be configured by them. Once the advertisement has been submitted to CCI, a member of the technical support team will contact you for payment per ad received.
