KIOSK
INFORMATION SYSTEMS PARTNERS WITH MINDSEARCH TO DEVELOP INTERACTIVE,
CONSUMER SURVEY KIOSKS

BROOMFIELD,
Colo. - Kiosk Information Systems recently announced its contract
with Texas-based MindSearch, a leading developer of marketing research
systems, to design and manufacture interactive, multi-media kiosks
to conduct polling and collect consumer opinions for various companies'
market research needs. Currently located in high-traffic shopping
malls in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia
and St. Louis, MindSearch kiosks will expand to up to eight additional
mall sites by summer 2002.
KIOSK designed
a completely new custom kiosk configuration to enhance MindSearch's
consumer interaction concept. The configuration consists of two
bronze and blue, C-shaped units with two survey stations each and
an attendant station in the middle. Respondents answer survey questions
via touch screen monitors that are linked to units with sound and
coupon-generation capabilities. The attendant station, which contains
a built-in monitor and computer terminal to download survey information,
features MindSearch's logo and a lighted display area for consumer
incentive prizes. A survey administrator is present within the attendant
station during mall hours to answer questions, assist participants,
and oversee technical systems and the survey process. Moving message
displays above the kiosk stations function to attract potential
respondents from all directions.
"By working
with KIOSK, MindSearch has been able to implement user-friendly, engaging
kiosks that attract individuals of varying backgrounds to take a
MindSearch survey," said Warren Wilkinson, president and CEO
of MindSearch. "The kiosks also offer audio and interactive
graphics and video to involve consumers and enhance their kiosk
survey experience."
Rick Malone,
president of KIOSK, enjoyed working through the design challenges
inherent in a kiosk project like the one presented to KIOSK by MindSearch.
"This project required us to configure a design that would
persuade mall shoppers to approach the four-station kiosk system
and complete an interactive poll. The completed unit is physically
appealing and also offers privacy and ease of use to survey participants."
