Advantages of renting vs. buying interactive touchscreens

In the world of corporate events, where a multitude of companies gather in the same space, it is necessary to be increasingly dynamic and technological in order to attract the attention of those present. It is to achieve this objective that many companies opt for the rental of interactive touchscreens. The presence of totems or tactile mupis, tactile kiosks, in the form of giant smartphones or tactile screens is becoming increasingly common at trade fairs, congresses, trade fairs… They are becoming key tools to make brands stand out at corporate events.

But, when brands participate in several corporate events a year, they may wonder if buying can be a better long-term investment than renting them. But, renting large tactile interactives offers significant advantages over buying, which we outline below.

Main advantages of rental of interactive touchscreens versus purchase

Optimised costs

The initial cost of purchasing a large tactile interactive is high. The cost will include the equipment as well as the software and possible customisations. Instead, by opting for rental, companies will pay for each event for the amount of time they will need the touch interactive. Paying for the time of use is ideal for one-off events or specific marketing campaigns.

In addition, by choosing to rent touchscreen interactives from a specialised company, you do not have to worry about the depreciation of the equipment, or other costs such as transport or storage. Everything will be included in the rental price of the tactile device. Its price can be included in the budget of each corporate event in which your company participates.

Total flexibility

Another advantage of renting interactive touchscreens over buying is the flexibility that renting will offer you. Not every event your company participates in is the same, nor is your exhibition space or budget. By opting for interactive rental you will be able to adapt the type, format and size of interactive chosen to each event and its needs.

For example, in the case of large stands, in important fairs for your brand, where you will have a large budget, you can opt for larger interactives. Such as 65‘ touch totems or 49’ touch smartphone devices. But for corporate events where your brand has less exhibition space and a smaller budget, you can opt for smaller interactives. Like 32″ touchscreens.

Moreover, having this flexibility will allow you to experiment with the various large devices. Being able to innovate at every event. And ensuring that your rental continues to make an impact on attendees.

Maintenance without worries

The rental of tactile interactives compared to the purchase, also allows to have tactile interactives in each event without having to worry about their maintenance. Since it will be the supplier who will be responsible for this maintenance. Offering tactile devices in optimal conditions for each event. Taking care of maintenance, transport, delivery, installation and configuration for each event. In addition, we offer technical assistance in case of problems during the event.

As specialists in their rental, we know that after the corporate events the interactive touchscreens must have a good maintenance that must be carried out by professionals. In order to avoid that the touch devices do not work properly in future events. This fact makes it more suitable for most companies to rent them than to buy them. Since they will not have the right professionals for the correct maintenance of the purchased devices.

Constant updating

Finally, one of the main advantages of renting touch devices over buying is that they are constantly being updated. Buying a touchscreen device either in a short period of time or in the long term will make it obsolete. And it will not provide a good brand image at events where it is used. When opting for the rental of touchscreen devices, brands are assured that they will have modern, up-to-date equipment. They will offer the latest features in design, connectivity and user experience. Projecting an image of innovation and professionalism to the visitors of the corporate events in which you participate.

As we have observed, by opting for the rental of touch devices you will avoid a large initial version, you can include your rental in the budget for each event in which you participate, adapting the size and device to each type of event, not having to perform maintenance of the devices and ensuring that you have the latest generation touch devices.
