Abstract: A consumer-interaction kiosk features one or more displays (which can comprise touchscreen displays if desired) and a control circuit that operably couples to that display (or displays). Such a kiosk can be located, for example, proximal to or within a retail venue (such as, but not limited to, a grocery store or grocery department of a department or discount store). The content displayed by the kiosk can vary with the needs of the application setting but can include, for example, consumer-attraction content, information-gathering facilitation content, delivered-information content, entertainment content, and so forth. Such a kiosk can also be configured, if desired, to vend for-sale or free consumables (such as free product samples).

Abstract: A method to maintain fresh product-source-to-consumer relationship-building information for a product source at a plurality of point-of-consumer-purchasing-decision locations (12, 13, 14, and 15) at physical retail establishments (10). Concise displays of product are provided at such locations, which displays include dynamic displays (21) that convey the fresh information as obtained from storage memory (23). The memory contents can be changed in various ways by representatives of the product source to ensure that fresh content is available for presentation. Initiation and/or expiration dates and/or other contextual triggers can be used to trigger use and/or discontinuation of all or part of the stored information content.
