receive a list of advertised products that meet their requirements on the spot

Museums
Museums, collections and archives operators, curators,
Self-service can improve visitor turnover to small and large museums alike, at a
fraction of the cost needed to hire more staff or launch a marketing campaign. Kiosks
can make visitor experiences of a museum more enjoyable and more informative, thereby
encouraging them to return, while also improving the entry process, reducing the need
for large numbers of staff and enabling museums to open for longer.
Some examples of the solutions offered by kiosks in museums include:
. Entry ticketing terminals, allowing customers to purchase tickets on the door or
collect tickets that they have
reserved (online) without having to queue.
. Interactive exhibitions, encouraging visitors to spend more time with the exhibition
and also heightening enjoyment by allowing visitors to involve themselves.
. Educational kiosks, offering visitors more information about the exhibits than can be
contained in a guide book, also freeing up staff from giving guided tours.

Insurance
Retail insurance companies, commercial insurance companies
Almost everyone needs insurance of some sort at some time, whether it's planned in
advance or a last-minute realization that you've forgotten to buy that travel insurance
you needed for your ski trip! Self-service can boost sales of insurance policies by
making it easily available in a number of places, when it's needed most.
Examples of kiosk solutions offered to the insurance industry include::
. Travel insurance terminals placed in airports, seaports, bus stations, etc, reminding
people to insure themselves, and allowing them to cover themselves
immediately themselves for a holiday and need to do so immediately.
. Motor insurance terminals placed at petrol stations or service stations,
enabling people to renew their car insurance or get a new quote while on the move
. Health insurance terminals placed in surgeries and hospitals, enabling users to
insure themselves on the spot while the idea to do so remains fresh in their minds.
Insurance is something which is often left until the last minute - and self-service can
capitalize on this, enabling people to buy insurance exactly when they need to. It can
also provide for those who have planned ahead and want to investigate what is available.
