Here you truly have a captive audience! We suggest you aim for middle to upper class hotels or business class hotels. You will get a disc with our software that you can install on your laptop computer. This way you can demonstrate to the manager or decison maker how your program works without actually having to lug a 150 lb. kiosk into their office! Most hotels have wifi internet services, allowing you to give a web presentation of our product.
We've discovered that most hotels will not charge you to place the kiosk in their lobby. They find the informational nature of the kiosk to be a great service that you are providing to them. Offer to place their hotel guest services on the kiosk at no charge. Then began finding your advertisers.
See who is already advertising in or near the hotel. Look around for information literature racks in or near the hotel with advertisements for restaurants, tourist attractions, shows, nightlife, zoos, museums, etc. You may want to contact the literature rack advertising company to see if you can work out a partnership agreement. Also, be sure to ask the hotel operator for leads which - an excellent way to open the door to your potential advertisers.

The other obvious location is a shopping mall. These can be great because once you are in the mall, you have a TON of potential advertisers seeking to grab every person who walks through the mall, and your kiosk could be just the thing for them. As with the hotels, first speak with the mall manager/operator. See what kind of deal you can get. They may want to charge you a flat monthly fee, which may be better in the long run, but we would recommend shooting for a percentage as with the hotels.
If you find that one location in the mall is working good, you may even want to consider putting one or two more kiosks in the same mall, and offering discounts to the retailers for advertising in each kiosk. Your imagination is the limit!
The Information Station will help you with locations by having a website targeted toward Hotel and Mall operators, extolling the virtues of having Information Station kiosks at their site. As they inquire, we will forward their requests for information to you if they are in your area.
