LOS ANGELES, March 16, 2015 AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC)
(www.autoretail.com), a leading manufacturer of automated retailing
systems and custom vending machines, commented today on an article
in the Philadelphia Business Journal that stated that the future of
retailing and marketing may be in new "Smart Vending" machines.
AVT is a leader in Smart Vending solutions, with patented
technologies and newly designed features including smart phone
integration and Apple Pay. AVT has patents covering multi-media and
how vending machines communicate with operators through a wireless
network – both of which are vital components in Smart Vending, and
which can provide new licensing revenue streams.
The Journal said that the cost of opening full-service
brick-and-mortar stores doesn't make sense for most companies,
however, automated retailing, "allows companies to insert their
brands into people's lives in places that they may not have been
able to in the past," and that they add value to consumers' lives,
by delivering targeted messages that resonate with
consumers.
Campbell's Soup Company is just
one of the major corporations that is using vending to engage
consumers in new and meaningful ways.
"This platform provides us with a glimpse of the future and
allows us to stay a step ahead in an ever-changing marketing
landscape," Zach Barkus, manager of
mobile and emerging media at Campbell's, told the Journal.
"As major corporations continue to discover the many benefits of
smart vending, the landscape of both retailing and marketing will
continue to change," said Shannon
Illingworth, Founder and Chairman of AVT, Inc. "I believe
that with our patented communications platform and multimedia
technology, AVT has substantial opportunities to capture new market
share, and emerge as a dominant force in the rapidly growing Smart
Vending Industry."
