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.
