4 Common Mistakes to Avoid During Kiosk Deployment

Opening a kiosk takes a lot of work. With the investment involved to get from "site selection" to "ready for business," it's very tempting for new kiosk owners to cut corners to try and save some time and money. Occasionally owners do just that and their efforts end up costing them more in the long run. Not wanting you to suffer a similar fate, Dadson Diaries' editor Liz Sachse teamed up with Executive Account Manager of our kiosk programs, Marie VanDrisse, to compile a list of the most common mistakes owners make during deployment and tips to help you avoid them.

1) Failing to thoroughly review proposals to verify what is actually included.

When comparing proposals from multiple kiosk vendors, it's important to look at more than just the grand totals. Sure, each proposal is for the same project, but what's included can vary as widely as the companies that submit them. Two common things that are included by some (and excluded by others) are shipping and installation. Certain companies may also include additional services such as submittal and permitting assistance, site preparation, and utility work that may bring the cost up but add value to their programs. Without a thorough review, you may think you're getting the best deal, but actually end up passing on the best program for your needs.
