Picture this: a couple walks into a model home, unsure of where to begin. They’re greeted by a warm smile and an interactive kiosk glowing with floor plans, community maps, virtual renderings, and dream-home inspiration. Within minutes, they’re immersed. They’ve found the lot they love, the model that fits, and a vision of their future. No waiting. No confusion. Just clarity and connection.
Welcome to the modern model home, where interactive kiosks are transforming the sales experience from flat and fragmented to fully alive.
Real Builders. Real Success. Real Sales.
Van Metre Homes (Northern Virginia)
Van Metre Homes introduced wall-mounted kiosks to showcase community layouts and floor plans. The displays blend right into their model home aesthetic. They look more like high-end TVs than technology hubs. Behind the scenes, IT teams can manage content remotely, eliminating the need for in-person updates.
The result? Each kiosk draws 25–50 visitor interactions per week and generates an average of three qualified leads per day (Actionfigure: Van Metre Case Study).
Outcome: Less paperwork. More leads. A smoother sales experience.
CPS/SalesTouch Kiosks: From Browsers to Believers
Across the U.S. and Canada, CPS (now part of SalesTouch) helps homebuilders level up their customer experience. With tools like:
- Interactive markup: Let buyers sketch on floor plans, drop in virtual furniture, and dream big.
- Lot-Fit tools: Match models to available lots and help buyers visualize the perfect fit.
- Localized presentations: Like KB Home in San Jose, some builders use kiosks to highlight nearby attractions that matter to modern buyers.
Outcome: Buyers go from passive browsers to active planners. Engagement deepens. Sales teams gain insight.
