Picture this: You are a salesperson working
at a retail shop or an exhibition booth.
Every day, you get potential customers asking questions that
can already be found on brochures. What do you do?
Should you hand them a copy of the brochure and tell them to read it themselves?
Or should you attend to each and every customer
and answer the same basic questions over
and over again?
Our solution : Set up a Multimedia Information Kiosk! Let the
computer demonstrate the basics and leave your salesperson
to concentrate
on more important sales functions - closing sales for instance.
An Information Kiosk is basically a console that has a built-in computer that has multimedia capabilities. It offers on-line information which a user can select via a touch screen. Some advanced kiosks can handle transactions and other complex functions besides offering basic product and sales information in the form of sound, graphics or video.
Just imagine if you set up a kiosk at your store display window, you can deliver your marketing message even before any customer enters the store. Or to those who do not want to enter the store. Or even when the store closes for the night.
You are at an exhibition center and wish to know the location of a specific company you are looking for. An Information Kiosk presents you with the layout of the exhibition hall. You simply key in the company you are looking for and you will be presented with the exact location of the company on the screen. Other applications include:
If you intend to create a simple interactive brochure with graphics and video, presentation tools will do just fine. For more complex applications that allow customers to key in details or carry out transactions, you should use authoring tools. Here, we've only listed a few of the presentation and authoring software available in the market. Of course, you would need other software to create sound effects, video, dazzling graphics and stunning animation.
