LOUISVILLE, Colo. - Kiosk Information Systems recently announced its contract with Rembrandt Charms, a 30-year-old manufacturer of fine quality charms and charm bracelets based in Buffalo, N.Y., to produce 11 KT-110 Stealth kiosks for placement in 11 jewelry stores nationwide that currently offer Rembrandt Charms as part of their jewelry collections. The kiosks, titled "Charm Kiosks," allow customers to view over 2,600 charm styles; search for particular charms by category, key word or style number; and print photo receipts of the charms they like best.

BEFORE CHARM KIOSKS
Before deploying the Charm Kiosks, the cost to showcase Rembrandt's extensive charm line - 2,600 styles, each available in four metals - was daunting. The company's 15,000 retailers relied on displaying a selection of best-selling charms in their stores and used Rembrandt's Charm Collection Catalog to offer customers the entire collection through special ordering.

CONSUMER BENEFITS
Now, customers can walk up to the Charm Kiosk and enter "frog" or "New Mexico," for example, and the kiosk will quickly pull up every charm style that matches the search term. The kiosk's receipt printer allows customers to give a charm photo to the jeweler for special ordering or show it to friends and family as a gift suggestion. The jeweler's contact information and Web site also appear on the receipt, making it possible for visitors to a particular store to order the charm from home.

RETAILER BENEFITS
The kiosks provide benefits to retailers as well. Positioned at the front of the store, each Charm Kiosk features rich colors and a sleek, elegant design to draw in traffic and entice shoppers to search through the charm styles. "KIOSK worked with us to deliver an attractive kiosk to our long-time retailers," said Jennifer Hillman, communications director at Rembrandt Charms. "It was important that the units fit easily into the jewelry stores, and KIOSK responded to this with a modestly-sized, 2' x 2' machine. The finished product functions as an artistic accessory for the jewelry stores; yet, it also provides customers with all the information they need on Rembrandt's charms."

"The attributes of the KT-110 Stealth matched well with Rembrandt Charms' description of the ideal unit," said KIOSK President Rick Malone. "The Stealth offers a modern look and its tapered figure and small footprint allow it to fit into just about any retail space."
