Introduction

Operators have the option to create their own custom advertisements that will display on their AirVend devices on a rotation. The advertisement must be sent to AV support to be approved, and then support will verify that the image has no vulgar or offensive material. Once approved, AV support can upload the advertisement in AV Life.
