A Versatile Mobile Kiosk

 

The introduction of new products into the South African marketplace can be full of challenges. This market is highly competitive and many products fail to gain widespread acceptance due to inadequate marketing efforts by the parent company. One of the most cost-effective ways of ensuring that the public is exposed to the product in a professional manner is through experiential marketing where the public is invited to experience the benefits of the product in store. This type of marketing makes extensive use of the new generation of mobile kiosks.
