This kiosk was created as part of a mobile exhibit for Spectrum Brands, makers of lawn and garden care and insect control products under such brands as Spectracide, Hot Shot, Sta-Green, and Cutter. The traveling exhibit visits Lowe's home improvement stores across the country in an effort to educate consumers about the Spectrum Brands family of products, and how to better care for their lawns and gardens.
After entering their personal information, users can browse the Solutions section of the kiosk. This section offers information on common lawn weeds, insects and types of fungus. Here users can identify problems they have with their lawns and receive tips on understanding and controlling the problem as well as solutions in the form of the Spectrum Brands herbicides and pesticides that are available at that specific Lowe's store.
The kiosks also use color laser printers to print out a customized yearly lawn-care calendar, arranged by seasons, to give users step-by-step, season-by-season advice on how to effectively care for their lawns and gardens. The print out is customized by Lowe's store location and offers specific information for the exact region of the country that the user is located. Of course, all the products on the calendar are readily available at their local Lowe's store all year round.
Data is stored in a central, secure location on the truck in a popular database format for easy access by Spectrum Brands staff.
