If you’ve decided that a kiosk is a perfect addition to your business, you’re probably wondering how to select the best one. While you can go online and find a variety of used kiosks for sale, you won’t know how they were treated or whether they were refurbished. Likewise, it could have internal problems that you know nothing about until it’s too late. Therefore, it may be best to buy new ones, depending on your budget and needs.
Your Products/Services
The first step is to determine what type of goods and services you will be promoting or selling. For example, if it is just going to be an information gateway, it may not require the most advanced settings and features. If it will be used to sell products for you when employees are gone or busy, then it will need to be more sophisticated.
Outside/Inside
Kiosks for sale can also be weatherproof and sturdier for outside use. If you plan to use it to attract business when you’re gone, then an outdoor version is best for you. If you intend to have it offer customer service to reduce employee work, then an inside one may suit your needs better. Likewise, you may want to take advantage of both options, using outdoor and indoor versions.
Abilities/Ease-of-Use
The next thing is to determine what capabilities or features you’ll need. For example, if you’re going to change the welcome message or information based on the events, you’ll need something that’s customizable. If you want to sell products, you’ll need something with credit card reader and encoder.
Along with everything else, you need to make sure that the item is easy for you to set up and access, but also easy for the customer to use, whether through touchscreen features or buttons.
