The Curiosk objective is to conveniently provide consumers with wine and spirits information and give them the ability to share this information with others. To facilitate an effective deployment strategy, Curiosk retains ownership of the kiosk. We provide servicing, maintenance and card replenishment needs. Our primary revenue source is by being a transactional kiosk at the consumer level - scan for free product information then pay $2.95 to print. We provide our solution to retailers with an extremely cost effective program. Retailers provide a nominal upfront payment and recurring monthly payments. Winery and spirits suppliers participate at no cost and we give them a venue to promote their brands at the exact moment a consumer is making a purchase decision. Each time a card is printed the revenue accrues to Curiosk. We provide a revenue share component with the retailer to offset much of their monthly fee. For the retailer this is a tangible return from card sales to supplement increased product sales realized by providing effective and timely product knowledge.

The application and functionality will continually be enhanced to make best use of the retail space secured. This will include advertising and other revenue generating and information gathering opportunities. Our low cost of entry along with our effective and unique application will support our deployment strategy to be the leader in the field of wine and spirits information kiosks.
