The TheLuxScents Business Model: How We Make Money and How You Do Too

Building a Business at the Intersection of Tech and Luxury

TheLuxScents isn't a traditional vending company. We're a technology company that happens to sell luxury fragrances. Understanding that distinction is key to understanding how we generate revenue and why our model works for everyone involved.

Three Revenue Pillars

1. Fragrance Sales

The core of our business is selling curated, premium fragrances through our machines. Every scent is hand-selected from niche and designer houses. We don't stock mass-market products. The margin on luxury fragrances is strong, and the vending format eliminates the overhead of traditional retail: no storefront lease, no sales staff, no operating hours.

When a guest purchases a fragrance from one of our machines, TheLuxScents and the venue partner split the revenue. The venue earns without managing inventory, handling returns, or training staff.

2. Digital Advertising via Piads.co

Every TheLuxScents machine features an HD display. Between customer interactions, that display serves premium digital advertisements through Piads.co, our advertising platform.

Brands pay to reach the luxury audience that frequents our venue locations. The venue earns a share of that ad revenue on top of their fragrance sales split. It's a passive income stream that requires nothing from the venue operator.

3. Machine Sales

For venues that prefer ownership over a revenue-share partnership, we sell machines outright through shop.theluxscents.com. Buyers get the hardware, our fragrance supply chain, and access to the Piads.co advertising network.

We offer three tiers: Classic, Premium, and Elite, each designed for different venue sizes and foot traffic levels.

Why the Model Works

The key insight is that luxury venues already have the audience. They have high-net-worth guests walking through premium spaces every day. Our machines simply monetize that foot traffic in a way that enhances the guest experience rather than detracting from it.

Compare that to traditional amenity investments:

| | Traditional Amenity | TheLuxScents Machine | |---|---|---| | Upfront cost | High | Low or zero (partnership model) | | Ongoing staff | Required | None | | Revenue | Cost center | Revenue generator | | Guest perception | Expected | Memorable |

What We Handle

When you partner with TheLuxScents, we manage the entire operation:

• Fragrance curation. We source from top houses and rotate selections seasonally
• Maintenance. Hardware issues are handled by us, not your staff
• Analytics. Real-time data on sales, popular fragrances, and foot traffic patterns
• Advertising. Piads.co manages all ad sales and content quality

The venue provides the space. We provide everything else.

Aligned Incentives

The reason our partnerships work is simple: we only make money when the venue makes money. The revenue-share model aligns our interests completely. We're motivated to place machines in the right locations, curate the right fragrances, and optimize the experience because our success depends on it.

No long-term contracts with hidden fees. No pressure to purchase inventory. Just a straightforward partnership where both sides win.
