What is all the hoopla surrounding this dvd rental machine craze? As a business owner have you ever wondered why should you even ponder having one of these strange machines in your store. How much money will the dvd kiosk generate for me? How much time will I have to devote taking care of the dvd rental kiosk? Will kiosk rental generate additional foot traffic? If you own a convenience store, grocery store, drug store, fast food restaurant or any other type business in which you have more than average foot traffic and have ever wondered about offering a dvd rental service this article is for you.

First we need to answer the most pressing question.

1. Will a dvd rental kiosk make me money? It really depends. I know that sounds like a sugar coated answer – but it really does depend on many factors. In most instances it will make you some money. How much depends on how well the dvd rental service is managed and how well both of you market it.
2. Will my employees be working with or on the dvd vending machine all the time? If the machine that is put in your store is a good quality dvd kiosk, then the answer is no. At first your employees will have to answer customers questions about the kiosks such as how it works and how much it costs to rent a movie.
3. Does the dvd rental kiosks use a lot of electricity? No. I have never run across any store owner that even noticed an increase in their electric bill.
4. What percentage should I charge for floor space? That depends entirely up to you and what your market allows. I had a store owner ask me for 25% one time. Needless to say I was not able to put my dvd kiosk in his business and make a profit. Somewhere around 7% – %15 is the norm.
5. Should I allow the dvd kiosk machine to use my Internet connection? If the kiosk is set up outside your internal network then you should have nothing to worry about.
6. What happens if the dvd rental machine injures one of my customers? You should require proof of liability insurance before you allow the kiosk on-site.
7. Will a dvd vending machine drive more foot traffic? In the case of my machines it certainly did. If the dvd kiosks are promoted in the local community you should notice more traffic.
8. OK, I want one. How long does it take to get one? 1 week to 10 weeks depending on current inventories.
9. Should I have a written contract with the dvd rental kiosk owner? Yes
10. Where can I get one? Do a Google for DVD Rental Kiosks and you will find many vendors. If you do not want to purchase one yourself, call up the vendor and ask for a local distributor. Someone will be happy to help you.

I am asked often about the store owners experience with the dvd rental kiosk. From what I could tell, if the store owner is comfortable with the dvd vending machine owner then things will probably work out well for the both of you.
