So you’re wondering, is renting a kiosk in a mall a good idea? The short answer is no. We’ve had clients tell us they would have gone with a kiosk rental if they knew it was going to be there a year from now, but now they can’t get to the kiosk because the mall is always renovating or doing new renovations? Even if you don’t want to buy a kiosk today, it’s not a bad idea to lease one so that you have one when you need it. Here are some reasons why:
– Kiosk leases for malls have incredibly high occupancy. You will not only have to rent the equipment, you will also have to pay an installation fee. If a mall has two or three hundred kiosks, you are looking at spending at least five thousand dollars on these machines. While you may read 1,473,907 times on your phone to remind yourself to set the machine up, chances are if you are out at work or running errands your mind will not be reading those numbers.
– You may be a small business person and think leasing kiosk space from malls is a way you can cut costs without cutting back on service. Yes, you can save a lot of money with kiosk leasing, but if you go too cheap you will end up with a machine that does not work properly or one that takes up too much space. Large malls usually have rules about how many kiosks you can lease, and if you go over your allotted number you get hit with fees from the mall. It’s best to find out ahead of time what the rules are in your specific mall so you don’t end up with over-booked kiosks.
– Major malls are always upgrading and renovating their stores so they need more floor space to hold all of the new merchandise they are bringing in. So, while you may think it is a good idea to lease kiosk display space from malls that are in constant renovation and expansion, these places are also in need of new kiosks to display all the new products they are constantly renovating. In addition, malls continually expand their shopping centers so you should take a look at what is being added to the mall stores along with the amount of floor space needed to house all of the new merchandise.
– There is no denying that when it comes to renting kiosk displays from malls, there are certain areas in which you will not be able to lease from them. For example, you cannot lease from a mall that is being rebuilt or is undergoing major renovations. These types of places are usually very tight on money and do not have as much disposable income to rent out their products to businesses and corporations looking to rent kiosk displays. If you are unable to find one of these types of places to rent from, then it may be more economical for you to pay for your own display rather than using a kiosk display from a mall that is constantly expanding and renovating their store.
Kiosk displays come in many different specifications. Different devices come with different features and capabilities. Depending on the purpose for which you are going to place your kiosk display, you should look into the specifications of each type of unit to make sure you get the most effective and efficient unit possible. Each type of device can accommodate a different number of displays depending on the space available. Different specifications are also required by malls depending on the dimensions they need in order to accommodate the kiosks.
