An in-vehicle promotions system and a method for distributing promotions
information. A system is installed in a vehicle able to display
promotions information from stores or other businesses subscribing to the
system. When the vehicle is driven within a certain proximity of the
store, the promotions information, which may include coupons, is
automatically displayed. The system may also include a printer for
printing the promotions or other information either on demand or
automatically. The position of the vehicle may be monitored with a GPS or
Loran receiver and the promotions information displayed when the system
finds the position of the vehicle to be within a defined range of a store
with which the promotions information is associated. The store may also
transmit the coupon information which is received by the in-vehicle
system when the vehicle comes within a defined transmitting range of the
store.
