Vending Business Information
For
Smart Success

It is simple. The vending business information you want to know is:

How do I make money?
What will it cost to start a vending business?

What do I need to do to jump-start my vending machine business opportunity ahead of my competitors?

Vending Business Information: Work Smarter

Let's start by answering the above third question first.

Most would-be-entrepreneurs have an idea for opening a small business and, well, they just jump in and start their company.

Only 50% survive.

Why?

They fail to take advantage of, in this case, what works best in starting a vending machine business.

The other 50% of entrepreneurs search for successful entrepreneurs who want to share their vending experiences. Investing $75 to $100 in the beginning can save you a ton of mistakes, wasted time and, of course wasted money.

Following Melissa’s 10 Rules is a smart beginning. Especially, follow her advice about vending machine technology.

Securing high traffic locations for your machines is key. Think Big. It takes just as much effort to go after great locations as poor ones.

Make a point to build relationships with vending machine distributors. They want you to be profitable. They can help you with the machines of choice. They are a great source for financial vending business information on cost of product and suggested retail. In the U. S. there currently are well over 100 different kinds of products that are being vended.

Vending Marketing Tips

When making location calls for your machines take free product to distribute.

Wrap a $1 bill around 3 to 5 products in your machines. This creates a buzz with people visiting the machines more often in hopes of securing that $1.

Build a brand by attaching a logo sticker to each machine.

As simple as this sounds, make sure your machines work, including the coin return function.

Choose a reasonable geographic area in which to place machines. Remember gas, car maintenance and your time, are all costs of doing business.

By the same token, do not over extend yourself. Finding machine locations for the sake of having lots of locations is counter productive. Select high traffic locations are worth ten poor low traffic ones.
