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 equipment.
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 existing
retail display fixtures, such as shelving, countertops, a customer
service desk, or aisle end cap displays, or incorporated into other product
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 customize
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.
