All About The Vending Business

If your in business… You need Business Cards. When your just starting out, may I suggest you print your own business cards in small amounts.

Let me explain my reasoning for this.

Your just starting out and you are working with just a little capital. Office supply stores like Staples and Office Max offer you a very economical way to print your own business cards, all you need is a computer and a copier.

Making your own business cards is no different than making address labels. I would suggest you purchase both the business cards and the return address labels from the same manufacturer. I usually buy Avery.

If you have gumball machines you can buy the very small ones. I just bought Avery item # 8867 (1/2″ X 1 3/4″) white return labels. This would be the perfect size for you to print your name/business name a phone number and even an email address if you like. They are self sticking so your able to place them right on your gumball machine. Some people will want to post them for all to see but others like myself would probably post them in a more inconspicuous spot… but of course that is just me.

I would buy the larger address labels that are about the size of business cards to place on the other larger vending machines. These labels can be made to look just like what you plan on printing for your business cards. Name, phone number, perhaps an email address… do you have a logo?

It is easy to save this information to your computer to make them up as you go along. The reason I suggest you do this yourself is because it will save you money but more importantly you will be able to change it later as your business grows.

What would you change it to?……. Perhaps a website or at the very least a Facebook page. But I will save that for another post.

Making your own business cards and labels for your machines is really simple stuff. You may have to play with the cards and the labels to make them fit properly but I am trying to offer you a suggestion to get you started off in business the most economical way.

You want people to know YOU…. Your Branding yourself… so get stated!
