How Can Interactive Kiosks Boost My Retail Business?

If you’re considering adding digital kiosks or directories to your space, you may find the following information helpful in your decision-making process:

Upselling & Increased Sale

Kiosks incorporate add-ons and upsell prompts as guests order to increase check sizes with every order.

Reduced Wait Times

In environments like quick-service restaurants (QSRs), kiosks can reduce the average transaction time, leading to shorter lines and happier customers.

Advertising Revenue

Retailers can monetize kiosks by featuring third-party advertisements, turning them into an additional revenue stream. They can also create their own retail media network, blending 3rd party ads and their own media onto their displays.

Customer Data Insights

Kiosks can provide retailers with vital data about customer preferences, behavior, and purchase patterns, allowing for more personalized marketing.

Improved Inventory Management

Some kiosks can be integrated with your retail inventory system, allowing customers to check for product availability, sizes, or colors. This integration can reduce the load on sales staff and improve the overall shopping experience.

Foot Traffic

An NCR report noted that over 70% of shoppers prefer stores with kiosk solutions, indicating that such stores can potentially attract more foot traffic.

Customer Engagement

Interactive kiosks can serve as an informational point, helping customers make informed decisions. This added value can lead to increased customer loyalty.

Reduction in Operational Costs

Over time, kiosks can reduce labor costs, especially during peak times when staffing needs are the highest.
