Abstract
Consumer operated kiosks can be configured to provide product samples allowing consumers ‘try it before they buy it,’ which can help consumers make purchase decisions. Mobile device modules are disclosed herein that can generate inducements for consumers to interact with such consumer operated kiosks. Inducements can take the form of advertisements, notifications of product sample availability, messages indicating the mobile device is near a consumer operated kiosk, promotion codes, purchase receipts, product placement, etc. When and how the implementations provide inducements to consumers, and the type and content of the inducements, can be based on determinations of consumer product interest and kiosks that are relevant to the consumer. The implementations can discover product interest by observing consumer interaction levels with displayed products, receiving a vote for adding a product, purchasing a product sample, sending or receiving a message referring to a product, receiving advertising to include in an inducement, etc.
