SOS, creator and operator of interactive vending machines for public spaces that deliver feminine hygiene products and digital content, has brought its installations to TIAA Bank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a company press release.
The installation of 14 machines will provide fans with access to personal care products on demand, including items from brands like Cora, First Aid Beauty, Hero Cosmetics, Megababe, Kosas, Ursa Major and H-Proof, The Anytime You Drink Vitamin. Additionally, as part of this installation by the Jacksonville Jaguars, all menstrual care products will be complimentary from SOS machines.
Founders and Co-CEOs Susanna Twarog and Robina Verbeek invented the SOS machine and launched the company in 2020. The IoT-enabled device delivers individually packaged products to people on the go. It is equipped with a video touchscreen that delivers targeted content and offers cardless, contactless purchasing.
"Access to premium wellness products has been nonexistent in most public facilities, but this is especially an area where sports arenas and stadiums can improve dramatically," Twarog said in the release. "There's a tremendous demand from sports facilities of all sizes to meet the needs of not just their female fans, but all who may need access to reliable, high-quality wellness products — we're excited to partner with the Jaguars and make this available to their fans."
SOS vending machines also feature a digital out-of-home platform for the SOS network of advertisers to leverage. Through a 32-inch touchscreen display, SOS machines are bringing advertisers into high-traffic public settings like stadiums, retail centers and public transportation hubs across the U.S.
