The secure cell phone-charging kiosks allow airport shoppers to lock up their phones to charge for free while they go shopping, but they also serve as an engagement platform for advertising aimed at the attractive consumer demographic usually found in airports – educated and affluent shoppers – according to Ron Bowers, senior vice president for business development at Frank Mayer & Associates.

KioskMarketplace.com Editor Cherryh Butler interviewed Bowers at the Spring Customer Engagement Technology World show in San Francisco; to see the digital signage and phone-charging kiosk in action, watch the video below.

    Hi, Samuel! I agree, this IS a great concept! You can get more information about this kiosk by clicking on Products and Suppliers at the top of this page, choose Companies by Name, then choose Parabit Systems. Parabit Systems makes one as well as Frank Mayer and Associates, Nuvo Technologies, and NV3Technologies. Hope this helps!

    Great idea for smartphones that really use a lot of battery. Especially while traveling when phones roam or lose signal and that cause poor battery life as well.
