Which Kiosk Type Is Right for Your Application?
Mobility, Security, and Space
A freestanding enclosure is ideal for unsupervised public use, providing
all the benefits of the application while ensuring security of the equip-
ment. Freestanding enclosures are usually fixed and occupy a dedicated
amount of floor space. They lack the mobility of the more compact,
space-saving desktop interactive displays. Desktop interactive displays
can fit into 25 to 50% of the footprint of a freestanding enclosure and
can easily be moved around to meet changes in floor space layout. They
come packaged in different form factors designed to be placed on exist-
ing retail display fixtures, such as shelving, countertops, a customer
service desk, or aisle end cap displays, or incorporated into other prod-
uct merchandising displays to expand interactive opportunities. Desktop
interactive displays are limited to areas that are at least semisupervised,
while a freestanding kiosk can be left unattended to operate 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week as an information or selling tool.
Branding and Cost
The fixed nature and size of a freestanding enclosure provides the
opportunity to use kiosk graphics and design to incorporate and cus-
tomize product/company branding. Both the freestanding enclosure and
the desktop interactive display assist in attracting customers and aiding
sales. Depending upon the application, a desktop display can be as little
as one-third the cost of its sturdier, more secure, and more resilient
counterpart.
