Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the late notice if you are here in Vegas already (…or have left). If you already stopped by the booth (1925), you saw our new in-store kiosks, which for us was a huge departure from “the virtual” to a material product. Don’t worry. There are no special deals at the booth that can’t get now or in the coming weeks.
If you didn’t make it, or you aren’t here, here are some initial pictures, and you can download the pricing flyer. as a PDF (17m). Many months ago we priced kiosks through both domestic and international suppliers, and they start theirs at over $2,000, for just the box, with no brain, graphics, or shipping. We kept our Retro Kiosk under $1,000, even with custom graphics, and the Touch Kiosk is under $2,000 with your own custom graphics applied. You can also check out one of the sample homepage ideas we made for one of our demo machines at this link (1920×1080).
Why did GunsAmerica take on the task of producing a physical in-store kiosk?
Because of Bud’s Gunshop, that’s why! If you own and run a physical store, you are being clobbered by online undercutters, and it is time to fight back.
How many times has a customer come to your counter asking for advice, but they don’t buy the gun from you?
You give the advice, freely, and put a gun in his or her hand to feel and try out. Then they hand it back and say “I’ll think about it.”
In your heart, YOU KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO GO TRY TO FIND IT CHEAPER ONLINE! In very few cases did they actually save any money, but nobody told them in advance that they could get a similar price, factoring in transfer and shipping, right from your case.
The GunsAmerica In-Store Kiosk gives you the ability to say “Hey, if you are concerned about price, why don’t you go search on my customer kiosk. My website is on there, as are GunsAmerica, Bud’s Gunshop, and even Gunbroker. I don’t want you to walk out of here and regret that you didn’t take the gun home with you.
The kiosk also allows you to offer an “Endless Isle” of every color and caliber conversion out there. Consumers know what they want these days, and the kiosk, with your website, is the way they can figure out that you are their connection to the whole industry.
