Francie/Summit Issues New Retail Kiosk Report

New Kiosk Industry Sector Report � Retail Now Available!
09-13-2004 --

Kiosks are being deployed in record numbers�especially in the retail sector�so we are happy to announce the publication of the Fourth Edition of Summit Research Associates' popular Kiosk Industry Sector Report � Retail. The 100-page report contains a number of charts including: the leading reasons why retail kiosks are deployed, the most popular types of peripherals used on retail kiosks, the average cost of a retail kiosk by world region, the average length of time a customer uses these types of kiosks and the average number of users per day.

This report contains 12 Case Studies, with special emphasis on the hottest areas in retail kiosks today: digital photography, music and DVD previews, Quick-Serve Restaurant ordering, Digital Signage and Ringtone downloads. Several popular product information kiosks are also evaluated. Case Studies include Mazda�s Interactive Showroom, RedDotNet, Home Depot�s ColorSmart by BEHR� and the US Postal Service�s Automated
Postal Center. Because the trend-setting Asia-Pacific region represents an area starting to show impressive kiosk growth, we have included four kiosks tested there � one each from Singapore and Korea and two from Hong Kong.

Every Case Study is measured against Summit�s Kiosk Evaluation Checklist, which presents a quick overview of each kiosk project. It includes descriptions of the locations within the store, the enclosure, signage, attract loop, user interface, peripherals, and any special features that make this kiosk stand out. This is followed by a detailed�and honest evaluation of the retail kiosk. For the first time, each Case Study includes a photograph of the enclosure and at least two screenshots of the software interface
