In the coming weeks, UK and Irish shoppers will be able to benefit from a robotically operated DVD vending concept housed in local convenience stores, including Tesco, Centra and Applegreen which offers users touch-screen access to a range of new release movies.
The Movie Booth is a newly created brand which supplies DVD rental vending kiosks to retail stores throughout the UK and Ireland and enables users to rent movies on a pay-as-you-go basis from a fully automated machine, offering a modern vending alternative to the traditional high street DVD rental store.
The futuristic concept is the brainchild of award-winning young entrepreneur Carlos Marco Rider, who noticed the gap in the DVD rental market and came up with a solution that could offer a convenient and cost-effective way for people to rent their favourite new release movies from their local shop.
Carlos explained, "The DVD rental market has faced big changes in recent years, and I felt that high street DVD rental services didn't offer value to their customers. By eliminating space and staffing costs, our kiosks can offer the most competitive DVD rental prices in the UK and Ireland.
"To many people, renting a DVD from a machine can be intimidating but our kiosk is designed to be completely user-friendly, and for anyone that needs further convincing to give the kiosk a try we are offering a free rental to everyone when they use the machine for the first time".
He added, "Customers use a touch-screen system to select and rent their movies, and it takes only three simple steps to rent a film from the kiosk. These new kiosks have been designed with the end-user in mind and have several features which make renting a DVD easier than ever before. The partnerships we are developing with retailers should ensure we achieve substantial coverage across the UK and Ireland by the end of 2008".
In an ever changing market, retail outlets across the UK and Ireland will soon feature the automated DVD kiosk in order to be able to offer a convenient DVD rental service to their local customers. DVD vending kiosks have experienced a massive growth in the USA with over 9000 in operation with ease-of-use, convenience and cost being provided as the main reasons for their success. In the USA , kiosks are currently deployed in Wal-Mart's, Wal-Greens and McDonalds to name but a few.
