Power Bank Renting Locations
Most power bank rental services exist inside busy indoor venues such as bars, restaurants and shopping malls.
However, a new breed of power bank machine has been designed for outdoor venues with surprising success. In
this article, we will look at some examples of outdoor venues and consider why they are so effective. Additionally,
this article will help you understand what type of locations to look for and how to maximize your chance of being
successful at outdoor venues.
Above you can see a typical design for outdoor events. Many power bank suppliers are willing to partner with
event organizers to provide the stations for free in return for access to an event. A revenue share agreement is
typically negotiated between the event organizer and power bank supplier.
Major events: F1 racing, music festivals, sporting areans.
A lack of consumer awareness remains the biggest challenge for the growth of power bank stations
internationally. Therefore, targeting public events such as Formula 1 racing, concerts, and sports stadiums has
become an effective way to acquire customers and accelerate consumer awareness. This is because outdoor
power bank stations are fitted with a large screen display which raises their visibility in crowded places.
It’s also worth understanding the assembly of these stations which requires integration of a mobile payment
device to allow for bank card (credit or debit card) or phone payment (Apple Pay and Google Pay). See below to
view this integration. If you would like to see different models and examples you can reach out to us.
Another popular location for outdoor power bank stations is sport stadiums and arenas. One company,
ChargedUp, has specifically targeted sports stadiums across the US. Although sports stadiums are empty most
of the time, the attendance for major league baseball games and american football games justifies their
placement and can generate significant revenue from just one game if placed near the of the stadium.
Although bars and nightclubs are the traditional locations for shared power bank stations, where 6 slot or 12 slot
machines are common, large display stations can be surprisingly effective even more expensive (typically $1000
USD at least) the higher usage rate resulting from being more visible can justify the cost. Below we have another
example of a display unit in an airport which are also popular locations for placement. In fact, public transport
settings have become the priority location for British company Joos. See more here.
In conclusion, outdoor power bank placements have several advantages including better visibility and higher
usage at high traffic events. Although these stations are more expensive, the ability to install them temporarily
at high traffic events, or permanently at public locations has become a successful use case.
