SmartSource can help create different branding or logos when you rent a Kiosk to help with advertising or communicate a brand message. Friendlyway is one of the more trusted names when it comes to kiosks and has been producing reliable equipment for years.
Travelers may be familiar with airport kiosks used for checking in. While the concept of these kiosks is the same, there are many more uses and a few extras when you rent a kiosk from SmartSource Rentals. Some good reasons to rent a kiosk include:

SmartSource offers rental solutions that can help to reduce the impact on the environment for your next tradeshow, convention, or business event. These solutions are not only kinder to the environment, but in many cases they can also save you money!
Digital Document Library:
A digital document library is an electronic collection of documents available to visitors and attendees. These documents are arranged in a digital library, allowing people to scroll through and browse documents that may be relevant to their specific needs. Documents in this library can be downloaded directly to USB thumb drive, printed on site, or emailed via an internet connection. This cuts down on heavy and expensive print copies as well as gives attendees the documents most relevant to them in the format they prefer.

Digital Signage Solutions:
Digital Signage has a lot of different names associated with it (electronic signs, dynamic signage, captive audience network, digital media network, etc.) but generally speaking is a network of monitors displaying information that is all centrally managed. If you have ever been to a tradeshow or convention that had monitors in different areas displaying the floorplan, scheduling, agenda etc. then you are already familiar with digital signs. As with digital document libraries, Digital Signage can reduce or eliminate the need for heavy and expensive print material. In addition to the green benefits of reduced materials used, there can also be large reductions in the carbon footprint since heavy boxes/pallets of printed documents don’t need to be shipped to and from a printer and/or event location.
