How the Program Reaches Guests

Guest QR hubs are available to every participating Smartbox Pros TV property. Interactive television advertising is available through EVOLVE M-Series. Optional lobby screens can extend the program in common areas where applicable.

  • Guest QR Hub

    Available to every participating Smartbox Pros TV property at no additional program cost — and without EVOLVE M-Series. Guests scan QR codes in rooms and common areas for the channel lineup, property information, guest resources, local businesses, offers, and directions.

  • Interactive TV Advertising

    Available through EVOLVE M-Series. Local advertisers, property promotions, amenities, dining, attractions, and guest messaging appear within the interactive guest television environment and work alongside the QR program.

  • Lobby & Common-Area Screens

    An optional additional placement where applicable. Lobby displays and digital screens can support local promotions, guest information, and advertiser-supported content when included in the property agreement.

  • Advertiser Landing Pages

    Nearby businesses get simple pages with offers, directions, hours, links, and guest-focused calls to action — coordinated with QR and eligible screen placements.

How ATS Builds the Program

From property strategy to ongoing management, ATS handles the Guest QR Program for every participating Smartbox Pros TV property — and adds EVOLVE interactive TV placements for M-Series properties.

  1. Step 1.

    Property Strategy

    We review guest flow, QR placements, and local advertiser categories. The QR hub is available to every participating Smartbox Pros TV property; EVOLVE interactive TV inventory is planned for M-Series properties.

  2. Step 2.

    Guest Experience Design

    We design a clean guest-facing QR hub with channel lineup, property information, dining, attractions, and advertising placements. EVOLVE properties also receive interactive TV experience design.

  3. Step 3.

    Advertiser Outreach

    ATS handles advertiser outreach and content creation with nearby restaurants, attractions, shops, and services. The property retains advertiser approval rights.

  4. Step 4.

    Launch Across QR and Eligible Screens

    We launch the Guest QR Hub for the property and, for EVOLVE M-Series properties, deploy interactive TV placements. Optional lobby screens are added where applicable.

  5. Step 5.

    Ongoing Management

    ATS manages advertiser updates, content changes, and continued support. The property receives its agreed share of generated advertising revenue. Results vary by market, participation, and advertiser demand.

Marketing That Supports the Guest Experience

Guests still want simple access to TV, channels, information, and entertainment. The Guest QR Program and, where available, EVOLVE interactive advertising are designed to add useful local recommendations and offers in the right places — not overwhelm the screen or frustrate the guest.

  • Useful guest information comes first

    Dining, attractions, property details, and timely offers guests may actually need — available from the QR hub for every participating TV property.

  • Advertising is integrated tastefully

    QR hub placements and EVOLVE interactive TV advertising appear in appropriate guest information areas rather than taking over normal TV viewing.

  • No aggressive advertising takeover

    The experience should support guest decisions without turning every screen into a commercial loop.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Guest QR Program included with Smartbox Pros TV service?

Yes. Every participating property that receives television service through Smartbox Pros can participate in the managed Guest QR Program at no additional program cost. EVOLVE M-Series is not required for QR Program participation.

What is the difference between the Guest QR Program and EVOLVE interactive TV advertising?

The Guest QR Program gives every participating Smartbox Pros TV property a property-specific mobile hub guests access by scanning QR codes. Interactive television advertising is available through the EVOLVE M-Series platform and places advertising, promotions, and local recommendations directly within the interactive guestroom television experience. They work together, but they are not the same product.

Does interactive TV advertising require EVOLVE M-Series?

Yes. Interactive television advertising is delivered through EVOLVE M-Series. Properties without EVOLVE can still participate fully in the Guest QR Program.

What does the program cost the property?

ATS does not charge the property an upfront fee or monthly program-management fee for the Guest QR Program. Participating Smartbox Pros TV customers receive the program at no additional program cost. ATS is compensated through the advertising revenue the program generates.

How do we get paid?

ATS sends the property’s advertising revenue payment by direct deposit on the 15th of each month for revenue generated during the previous month.

How is advertising revenue divided?

The property receives one-third of all advertising revenue generated through its program. The remaining revenue supports advertiser outreach, new advertiser acquisition, ad creation, landing-page development, content updates, program administration, and the ongoing costs of operating the program.

How much can our property make?

Our goal is to help offset—and potentially completely cover—the property’s monthly television bill. Some properties may generate more than their current TV expense. Actual results vary based on the property’s location, local advertiser demand, the number of available advertising placements, and the level of participation in the program. Smartbox Pros does not guarantee a specific amount of advertising revenue.

How long does it take to launch the program?

The initial property setup can begin quickly, but building a base of new local advertisers generally takes approximately 30 to 60 days. The exact timeline may vary depending on the property’s location, the local business market, and how quickly advertisers provide their information and approve their advertising content.

Can the property reject an advertiser?

Yes. The property may object to any advertiser it does not want associated with the property or presented to its guests. ATS will work with the property to maintain an appropriate mix of advertisers and content.

Does our property have to find local advertisers?

No. ATS handles advertiser outreach, onboarding, ad creation, advertiser landing pages, content coordination, and ongoing program management. Properties may also recommend local businesses they already know or would like ATS to contact.

Does the advertising program work with other vendors?

No. ATS operates this property marketing program exclusively through Smartbox Pros and does not offer the program through other television or technology providers.

Where can advertising appear?

Every participating Smartbox Pros TV property can use the Guest QR Hub. EVOLVE M-Series properties can also place interactive advertising within the guestroom television experience. Optional lobby or common-area screens and property-specific advertiser landing pages may be added where applicable.

Will advertising interfere with the guest experience?

No. The program is designed to keep useful property and guest information at the center of the experience. Advertising is presented in a controlled and tasteful format rather than taking over the television or guest portal.

What types of businesses can advertise?

Potential advertisers may include nearby restaurants, attractions, entertainment venues, retailers, transportation providers, healthcare services, and other reputable businesses that may be useful to guests.

What does ATS manage after the program launches?

ATS can manage advertiser recruitment, content creation, advertiser landing pages, QR-hub content, EVOLVE interactive TV and optional lobby-screen placement, content updates, monthly payment coordination, and ongoing program support.

Ready to Activate the Included Guest QR Program?

Every participating Smartbox Pros TV property can start with a managed Guest QR Hub at no additional program cost. EVOLVE M-Series properties can also add interactive television advertising. Let ATS review your property and local market.
