New Kiosk Project?


If you’re about to embark on your first kiosk project or wondering whether a touch screen kiosk system could help your organisation then this quick guide is for you.

Why Use Touch Screen Kiosks?

Touch screen kiosks empower your intended audience to help themselves to information and other resources. Kiosks provide an intuitive, friendly environment, using your branding, for your customers to access many services quickly and privately. Kiosks, these days, provide access to web, telephone calls, printed pages and email features.

Kiosk software can easily provide access to web pages, virtual reception services, arrivals queuing and many other applications. In fact more information and services can be provided to your customers using a touchscreen kiosk than can be offered by a competent employee.

Why haven’t customers taken to information kiosks when provided in the past?

This is mainly due to how the touchscreen kiosks have been implemented. Often they are not working. Many have a dull and clunky feel about them. Mostly they are slow, provide very little information and do not invite the potential user to use them. Thereby encouraging potential users to 'find an employee' for help.

If this is your experience – read on, as Kiosks4business has resolved most of these issues to make using touchscreen kiosks a pleasure and very informative.

Why do kiosk projects fail?

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

That saying is true of touch screen kiosks as well as many other human situations. Well-designed kiosk systems encourage customer use through bright and colourful designs and intuitive functionality along with a well-designed 'call to action' animated screen. Consider too whether a touchscreen keyboard is required or would a physical keyboard be more appropriate?

Location is also very important in influencing the active usage of an information kiosk. Kiosks need to be located in a position where it is easily seen and obvious that it is there for the users’ benefit.

Ultimately your kiosks should provide value to your customers by providing access to information that helps them, saves their time or helps them solve a problem – quickly, privately or in more depth than normal.

Promoting your new kiosk – Read all about it!

Another important aspect to kiosk projects is that they are promoted when first installed, using posters, press releases and other communications methods to your end users. A helpful staff member to encourage people to use your kiosk can be really effective in the first week.
