Introduction to Mall Kiosks
A mall kiosk is a small retail booth typically located in shopping malls. Kiosks have lower startup costs than brick-and-mortar stores. High foot traffic provides a built-in customer base. Mall kiosks sell diverse products like jewelry, cosmetics, and food.
Starting a Mall Kiosk Business
Kiosk startup investments range from $2,000 to $10,000. An effective business plan is key to kiosk success. Approach the mall leasing office about available kiosk space. High traffic areas near entrances, exits, and escalators are ideal.
Tips for Selling at a Mall Kiosk
Sales techniques for mall kiosks differ from an inline store. Tips for a successful mall kiosk include creating a visual presentation, using color and interactive components to draw in passersby. Friendly and engaging kiosk employees are important.
Costs to customize a kiosk vary by country. Accessories like jewelry, hats, scarves, and handbags are popular and profitable items to sell in a mall kiosk as they are small and easy to display. Focus on unique, trendy items not found in larger stores.
