Abstract
A marketing system includes a plurality of automated transaction machines (). The automated transaction machines operate to carry out financial transactions with associated host computers (). Marketing presentations are stored on and output from the transaction machines responsive to messages exchanged with a market message server () which is connected to the automated transaction machines through a network (). The connection to the automated transaction machines, which provides delivery of the market presentation materials and which causes the output of presentations, is generally independent of the messages associated with authorizing financial transactions. Some described embodiments of the invention enable presenting marketing campaigns to users of the transaction machines. The marketing campaigns may include sequences of presentations that are output on a targeted basis to particular users.
