Google and Deloitte data show that 50% of retail sales and 22% of shoppers, respectively, are influenced by digital channels. Katalyst proposes installing interactive kiosks called MoneyTrees in shopping locations to connect offline and online shopping. The kiosks would allow merchants to engage shoppers digitally without an app download and capture consumer data. This would help merchants test new digital sales strategies and drive foot traffic to their online stores. Katalyst aims to partner with malls, airports, and other property owners to deploy and manage a network of MoneyTree kiosks, generating revenue from merchant fees and digital advertising.
