Digital
Kiosk
Solution.

Fixed. Handheld. Always Working.

A digital kiosk is the missing piece for mobile marketers who've settled for average opt-in rates. Fixed counter display or handheld tablet — both put engagement where customers already are: standing right in front of your business. No keywords to remember. No short codes to type. Just a touchscreen, a tap, and a new subscriber.

Increase in Opt-In Rates
From In-Store Customers

Traditional opt-in methods — signs with keywords, short codes on receipts, verbal asks at the register — consistently produce average results. A digital kiosk at the point of engagement changes the math entirely. Businesses deploying 7 Media Group's kiosk solution see opt-in rates jump 500 to 1,000% compared to their previous methods. The same customer who would have ignored a sign taps in their number while they're waiting. That's the difference.

More Customer Engagement vs Static Signage

Interactive kiosks drive up to 400% higher customer engagement than static signage. An interactive touchscreen isn't competing with a sign — it's a completely different class of customer touchpoint.

Features of the Digital Kiosk Solution

Every Feature Built
for Maximum Participation.

Digital kiosk in retail — 7 Media Group
Fixed counter-top or floor-stand kiosk — branded to match your business, fully managed through the 7 Media Group platform.
🎨

Custom Branded Design

The kiosk is an extension of your brand. Full design customization — colors, logos, fonts, and messaging — so it looks like yours, not ours.

👆

Easy Touchscreen Entry

No signs with keywords. No short codes to remember. Customers tap in their number on a digital keypad — the path from interest to subscriber is one step.

📊

Track Every Visit

Each check-in is tracked. Automated outreach fires for customers who haven't returned in a set period — turning visit data into re-engagement campaigns automatically.

🖼️

Rotating Promo Graphics

Use the split-screen feature to animate the display with rotating promotions, featured items, or advertisements — active marketing even when no one is signing up.

📋

Multiple Data Points

Capture up to 4 fields per customer: mobile number, birthday, email, ZIP code, and more. Every field collected is data that makes your next campaign smarter.

📱

Touchless QR Check-In

A security-enabled QR code lets customers scan with their own phone to eliminate touching the hardware entirely — preferred by many customers and a fast path to sign-up.


Fixed Counter or Handheld Tablet

Take the Kiosk
to the Customer.

Most competitors offer a fixed kiosk solution. 7 Media Group gives you both. A handheld tablet means your team can approach customers anywhere on the floor, at an event, or in a showroom — turning any interaction into an opt-in opportunity without requiring the customer to walk to a counter.

  • Counter-top fixed kiosk sits at the register, service desk, or lobby and captures opt-ins 24/7 without staff involvement.
  • Handheld tablet puts the kiosk in your team's hands — on the showroom floor, at trade shows, pop-ups, or any high-traffic moment.
  • Same platform, both form factors. All data flows into your 7MG account in real time, regardless of how the sign-up happens.
  • Ideal for events, contests, and drawings where capturing entries quickly and at scale is the whole point.
  • No internet dependency for entry. The kiosk captures data and syncs — your team keeps moving even if connectivity is intermittent.

What Customers Actually Do at the Kiosk

More Than Sign-Ups.
A Full Engagement Engine.

The kiosk isn't a one-trick device. Every interaction it supports becomes a data point, a relationship, and an entry into a marketing loop that runs without you.

Loyalty Program Enrollment & Check-In

Contest Entry & Giveaway Capture

Running a drawing, sweepstakes, or event giveaway? The kiosk captures entries cleanly — name, number, email — with built-in consent. Every entrant becomes a subscriber. The winner selector is built into the platform.

📅

RSVP & Event Check-In

Let customers RSVP for an event, check in on arrival, or register for a promotion right at the kiosk. Every submission adds to your list and triggers whatever follow-up you've set up — confirmation text, event reminder, or day-of alert.

59%

of Consumers Would Switch Brands for a Better Self-Service Experience

That's not a soft preference. More than half of your customers will actively leave for a competitor who makes it easier to engage. A PwC survey found 73% want self-service options when available — and 59% are willing to switch brands to get them. A kiosk isn't just a list-building tool. It's a direct signal to customers that your business values their time, which is increasingly what loyalty is built on.


Loyalty Kiosk Benefits

Three Reasons Businesses
Never Go Back.

📵

No Cards. No Punchouts. No Friction.

Punch cards get lost, forgotten, or left at home. Loyalty cards live in the junk drawer. A digital loyalty kiosk uses the cell phone your customer already has with them — or lets them look up their account directly on the kiosk. Participation goes up when the barrier goes down.

🔄

More Business. More Often.

Loyalty kiosks, combined with text message marketing, bring customers back in — with reminders when they haven't visited, and mobile coupons timed to their purchase cycle. Customers who are enrolled in a loyalty program spend more per visit and return more frequently. Both are measurable from the platform.

Speed Things Up.

A digital kiosk streamlines the check-in and reward process so your team handles more customers in less time. Staff aren't digging through cards or manually logging visits. Points are assigned, tracked, and visible to both staff and customers in real time through the Kiosk Check-In Manager.


Also Included — Digital Waitlist

Turn Your Physical Line
into a Text-Based Experience.

Businesses everywhere are rethinking how they manage on-site traffic. The goal is simple: shorter lines, calmer teams, happier customers. 7 Media Group's Digital Waitlist makes it happen through the same platform your team already uses.

How It Works

1

Self Check-In by Text or QR

Guests join the waitlist in seconds — from their phone, via QR code, or at the kiosk. No app download. No clipboard. They're in the queue before they've even reached the host stand.

2

Live Status Updates

"You're up next" beats "keep an eye on the door." Real-time SMS updates keep guests informed and on-property — reducing walkouts from people who got tired of guessing.

3

Two-Way Messaging

Guests can reply with questions, changes, or "we're here." Your team gets answers without playing phone tag or hunting the parking lot.

4

Smarter Flow Control

Manage capacity, entry, curbside arrival, and staggered service without a clipboard. Your staff stays in control even during peak traffic — without the chaos.

Where Businesses Use It

🛍️

Retail & Events: Control entry and manage capacity during peak traffic without turning customers away.

🍽️

Restaurants: Track parties, reduce lobby crowding, and give hosts actual information to work with.

🚗

Curbside & Pickup: Coordinate arrivals so orders move faster with fewer mix-ups and no double-parking standoffs.
