SPECIALTY VENUES:

How do I distribute my tickets from an automated, convenient, and secure device without the time and expense of reinventing the solution?  ATMs can do it all.  Kiosks can be very expensive and only provide a cost saving feature, not a revenue option as well.  On the other hand, ATMs dispensing your ticket can generate revenue as well.  What’s more, kiosks don’t hold the same market attraction for consumers who have come to rely on the convenience and security of ATMs.

• In conversation with different Specialty Venues, Better ATM^TM Services understands your challenges. We know that theft and shrinkage are consistently at the top of the list for improvement.  An ATM is a secure distribution tool because the cash dispensed from an ATM is secured in a locked case.  You can rely on this tried and true distribution channel that has a proven track record.  In fact, many ATMs have a Class A safe to protect the cash it stores.  Back to List
  

3 Reliable Distribution Method

• The ATM has been dispensing cash for over 30 years.  ATM manufacturers perform extensive testing to certify their ATMs will dispense cash with very little failure.  The ATM user never sees most failures because the ATM has logic to either dispense the cash or communicate that the ATM is unavailable.  This same logic and reliability is leveraged by Better ATM^TM Services’ groundbreaking technology solution.  Better ATM^TM Services has worked with each ATM Manufacturer to certify our media, which maintains reliability standards similar to cash.  Back to List

4. Convenient Distribution

• With over 400,000 ATMs in the United States and over 1.2 million ATMs worldwide, the ATM infrastructure very likely has an existing location where your tickets or other prepaid media can be dispensed.  In addition, the ATM infrastructure also caters nicely to the mobility of several different venues. 
• For example, traveling carnivals can benefit from having an ATM to dispense general admission tickets and supply cash for concession stands.
• You’ll experience the convenience that is enjoyed by ATM users.  This same convenience can be provided to your customers, while you’re saving on labor costs.  Back to List
  

5. Revenue Generating Solution

• Better ATM^TM Services’ three panel media provides creative opportunities  for your company to generate revenue.
• There are so many ways you can use these panels.  For example, each panel can be configured with a magnetic stripe or bar code for redemption purposes.  The top panel can be used for your ticket or general admission.  This leaves panels two and three available for advertising.  The advertising could be for a sister company or other partner.  In addition, it could be sold as advertising for a local event (i.e. sports team) or national brand (i.e. Coca Cola or McDonalds).  The options are only limited by your imagination.  Back to List
