Rent a Kiosk

Kiosk rentals have a lot of applications for trade shows, conferences or corporate events. SmartSource Rentals can work with you to rent one or multiple kiosk rentals to fit the needs of any situation.

SmartSource rents friendlyway kiosks with both 17 and 19 inch monitors. These Kiosks have a modern sleek design and relatively small footprint. This technology is great to rent for small spaces or trade show booths. 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:

-Digital Information System and Information Kiosk

-Web Café or Internet Café configuration

-Digital Document Library at Trade Show or Convention

-Registration or Entrance System

-Promotional – Play Video, Interact with product demo etc.

Most kiosk rentals from SmartSource come with an interactive touch screen display. This allows the user to interact with whatever program, video, library or survey that is running with the simple touch of their finger. Friendlyway kiosks have a crystal clear, bright flat screen display that is protected from both dust and fluids.

When you rent a kiosk, it might be a good idea to include some other equipment options as well. A representative will provide more detailed information on what is available. Most rental kiosks can also come with the following:

-custom logo and branding

-webcam

-keyboard and mouse pad options

-business card reader

-WiFi or web access

Monitor & Stand Tradeshow Setup

Make your booth stand out on the tradeshow floor with a flat screen monitor on a dual post stand to show some promotional video, laptop presentation, or product demonstration.

If you are going to be exhibiting at a tradeshow this year, get the maximum value out of the tradeshow investment and make sure the booth or exhibit space makes an impact on the tradeshow attendees. The goal of participating in any tradeshow is to get a company noticed by attendees. Once a visitor has stopped by the booth, then it is up to the sales people or representatives working the booth to engage them further.

One of the most economical and effective ways to do this is by using video or displaying images on a big monitor. Everybody is drawn to a huge monitor playing video. SmartSource rents monitors of all kinds to hundreds of tradeshows a year, for companies in every kind of industry. Even if it is a 10×10 tradeshow booth space, consider renting a 42” LCD or Plasma monitor on a dual post stand to help attract and engage tradeshow attendees to the space.

Modern Plasma & LCD screens are so thin that they hardly take up any space, and our 72 inch dual post stands have a large flat base that sits on the ground. There is plenty of space to configure one of these rental monitor and dual post stand setups and still leave enough room for your representatives, paper materials, handouts or other types of promotional materials. A 42 Plasma screen rental on a 72 inch dual post stand will still leave ample room for a table, two chairs other materials.

Deciding what video or images to display on the plasma screen at the tradeshow is up to you, but SmartSource Rentals can assist you hand in the device you use. Our dual post stands can be setup up with a small shelf near the monitor to help display the source of your video. Typically the video source is a DVD Player, VCR or PC Laptop that is connected to the monitor. Laptops are ideal as you can display video from a CD or DVD disc and then jump right into a product presentation, website or other computer based program. Side speakers are also available that attach to the sides of the rental monitor if you need sound/audio when displaying your video. SmartSource rents speakers, laptops and other equipment needed to display all of this on the tradeshow floor.

SmartSource Rentals carries monitor and stand rentals for tradeshows in just about any size needed. We have monitors from 32 inches all the way up to 65 in both Plasma and LCD. 3×3 Plasma Video Walls or multiple monitors integrated into the booth design or exhibit space are another option for larger scale installations or high profile shows.
