We have previously talked about the benefits of touch screen kiosk in the retail sector and how self-service units are fast becoming popular and a common sight in the settings.

Once installed, they replicate the advantages of online shopping at home but in-store, and give staff more time to concentrate on assisting the customers and their needs.

In many cases more than 50 per cent of transactions take place at self-service kiosks and customers spend more at kiosks than at tills due to cross selling methods, so surely these units are easing the strain when shopping at Christmas time?

We all know what it is like when you are rushing around doing some of that last minute buying, whether it is for presents or Christmas Day grub. The shops are bustling with people trying to find that great gift with queues backing up to the end of aisle and overall, it can be a very stressful ordeal.

By deploying touch screen kiosks, the on-screen software allows merchants to streamline their sales and information process quickly and efficiently; meaning less queuing time, fewer dissatisfied customers and more sales handled for the pre-holiday season.

They are ideal for queue management and with minimal on-screen information it makes them both accessible and easy to use; increasing the customer experience.

Away from the concept of payment, the retail kiosks will also be aiding the Christmas shoppers in malls where they haven’t been before. They are perfect for interactivity on way-finding for consumers who get lost or do not know where to go.
