Networked product containers such as vending machines identify the
presence of a potential customer via sensors, and present customized
interactive marketing content to consumers. Consumers interact with a
touch screen to win prizes, make purchases, or have a fun and interactive
experience. The prizes and purchases offered by the product container may
be determined by the product container or by one or more content servers
in communication with the container. The content server may also provide
digital content for display on the product container and remotely update
the product container's content. The networked product container also
includes a wireless access point to provide nearby wireless-enabled
devices network connectivity via the product container.
