How Ad In Media works

One screen at the register, one door counter, one measured audience. Here is who is on each side of the counter, why it beats the feed, and what first-time advertisers ask.

Three sides of the counter

One network, fully measured — the advertiser who buys the moment, the store that hosts the screen, and the shopper who actually sees it.

Advertisers

Buy it yourself, in minutes

Target by neighborhood and venue type, see the flat weekly price up front, upload a 15-second spot, and go live. No sales call, no minimums.

Venues & hosts

Earn from a screen you have room for

We install the screen and the door counter at no cost, run the ads, and pay you a share of every dollar sold on it, monthly. You keep your space; we do everything else.

The shopper

Reached with their wallet out

Not scrolling, not skipping — standing at a counter with a purchase in mind, in a real store, in their own neighborhood. Every play counted at the door, not modeled.

Why it beats the feed

Not another scroll to be skipped — attention at the exact moment of purchase, and proof it happened.

Real foot-traffic measurement

On-device head-counts, live. Every play is billed against actual dwelling audiences, not modeled reach.

At the point of purchase

An in-store screen reaches a customer whose wallet is already out — not a muted square between two friends' posts.

Trackable QR attribution

A per-campaign QR ties a scan in the store straight back to your ad — a hard, countable action, not a vanity impression.

Effective-CPM proof

Flat weekly price divided by real measured impressions, shown before you buy. You always know the true cost per thousand.

One street at a time

We fill a corridor before we move to the next one, so a buy on one street is a real share of everyone who shops there — not a scattering of screens.

Pinpoint targeting

Buy the exact block. Choose the neighborhoods and venue types — barbershops in Boyle Heights, markets in Koreatown — and the language. Your spot runs only where it fits.

Unskippable, unblockable

No skip button, no ad-blocker, no scroll-past. On an in-store screen your 15 seconds own the moment.

Captive dwell time

People here are waiting — in line, at the register — so they actually watch, not thumb past a feed.

Questions, answered

Everything a first-time advertiser wants to know before booking.

How much does it cost?

You see your exact price before you buy — a flat weekly rate, no auction and no bidding. It scales with how many screens you run on and for how long. There's no long-term contract; you buy a flight of at least four weeks. See your price in about a minute →

Do I need to already have an ad?

Yes. Upload your 15-second video or a still image (MP4/MOV/WebM or JPG/PNG, 16:9). We add a tracked QR code on top so every scan counts. Screens play muted, so put the message in the picture.

When am I charged?

Never before we approve your ad. When you book, we place a hold on your card and only charge it once we've reviewed and approved your ad — usually the same day. If it isn't approved, the hold is released and you pay nothing.

How do I know it actually worked?

Every screen head-counts real foot traffic at the door, so your report shows how many people were in-store while your ad ran, how many times it played, and — if you add a QR code to your ad — exactly how many people scanned it. Real numbers, not modeled guesses. See a sample report →

Where will my ad play? Can I target?

Yes — choose neighborhoods, venue types (barbershops, salons, markets, cafés), and language. Your spot runs only where it fits.

How long does it run, and can I pick when it starts?

You buy a flight of a set number of weeks. Start it as soon as it's approved, or schedule it for a future date.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

Flights are prepaid and final once approved — no cancellations or refunds, except where we can't deliver your campaign.

Is my payment secure?

Yes. Payments run through Stripe; your card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our servers.
