More and more tablets find greater use in establishments such as public information kiosks, restaurants, hotels, retail outlets, libraries, banks, travel agencies, exhibitions and offices. Coupled with the right software, these ubiquitous devices are helping these establishments better engage customers and deliver a better user experience.
Tablets in such usage environments are often mounted in cases of one kind or another for security and ease of use. You can choose from a variety of cabinets and stands, such as compact ones that can be mounted on a table or countertop. Wall mounts are equally popular in certain establishments where space is at a premium or for convenience. The greatest flexibility is offered by the tablet kiosk floor stand. It is versatile and the perfect choice.
Choose the right type of tablet floor stand. Factors to consider are height, adjustable case, safety, device charging, and aesthetics. Height is important. Most of these floor stands have a fixed height for the mounting tube. The tube itself is angled at the top to position the cabinet for better usability. Ease of use is further enhanced because the case has a pivot on the back for angle adjustment and tilt purposes. A lightweight tube and strong ABS shell provide the perfect combination. Some may consider a height-adjustable tube, but it’s not absolutely necessary. As for the case, it should have a charging facility as well as a Kensington-type lock to hold the device securely and prevent any tampering or theft attempts.
Where to place the tablet is another important consideration to drive better customer engagement. Place it right next to the entrance for convenience, and in this case what happens is that most people walking in will probably miss it. It can be placed in such a way that anyone walking through the door will see the tablet immediately. Its power to attract attention can be further enhanced by placing a suitably sized cabinet with text such as “Use me”. Should the bracket be screwed to the floor? In certain situations, such as in museums and libraries, it can be screwed to the ground. However, in some cases, such as hospital waiting rooms or smaller travel agencies, it’s best to avoid screwing it to the floor and placing it in a way that entices people to use the tablet. Tablets can be placed at mall entrances to help shoppers find the right products, deals, and sections. Stalls can be maintained at outlets to encourage buyers to leave comments and suggestions. It all depends on the store owner’s imagination as to how to leverage the booth’s ability to increase tablet usability and drive better results while delivering better customer satisfaction.
It pays to choose a quality and sturdy floor stand for tablets. One can buy and discard tablets, but support is forever.
