OK, I know it sounds great, but
is it really? Can you really just get
your hands on one or more of these machines and place them somewhere
"Red" hot? Maybe… They
call them Kiosks. I actually use one of these “red
boxes” as my family calls them quite frequently. There is one
parked out in front of the Shop Rite, just down the road from our
house. It is always packed to, either with people returning their DVDs,
or those taking their sweet time trying to decide what to get. The
movies are just $1.00 to rent, plus tax. Now
I live in a very up and coming, super popular country area, with
apple orchards, and one of the last surviving drive in movie theaters.
We have just one super market for the whole town. I want you to see
that this whole business to me seems to rely on location. There is just
one of the DVDNow type Kiosks at the store. Can
you make money with this type of a business? Maybe, maybe not. You
would have to register for one of the free webinars to get more
details. I am sure there is quite a cost involved, as these machines
are pretty high teck if you ask me. Nothing
good comes easy right? If you happen to have an in with the
local store front, that would definitely allow you to place a machine
like this, then it could be a good idea. What about power requirements?
I used to sell high end copiers, and I know they almost always sat
unused until the customer was able to get an electrician in to install
a dedicated high end outlet to power the machine. I would say this is
probably no different. I
like using the DVD
Kiosk
rental machine, and you certainly can not beat the one dollar price
tag. Is it profitable though? It seems there would also be quite a lot
of red tape to get the clearances needed to get all the new releases
and stuff like that. They don’t let just anyone sell their
titles
you know.
In closing, I love the service
and convenience. I think in the right
location, it could be profitable, maybe. Would not be for me. Best of
luck to you though if you do plan on researching this DVDNow, Kiosk
movie rental business.
