All About The Vending Business

Setting a machine to dispense a free vend at random is nice a nice way to reward someone for making a purchase. What normally happens when someone receives a free vended items is they make an additional purchase, because the money was already in their hand.

Several years ago we got T-Shirts with the Hershey’s logo on them. We also got a decal that drew attention to the promotion we were offering. Anyone who found a Hershey’s sticker on the back of their candy bar would get a free T-Shirt. Sales were brisk especially since we put the first sticker on the second candy bar to vend.

Use your imagination.. you could put coupons on the back of your product, perhaps a joint venture with a local sandwich shop.

This also sparks interaction with people who work at your stops… and interaction is always a good thing.

Some of these people may leave and the place where they go may need a vendor….. Who do you think they will think of?   You!
Of course!

You might offer people a finders fee if they are able to find you a stop to place your machine. People know people… connections are a good thing to have.

We were at a stop and the manager kept getting moved to different location. We placed vending machines in every move he made. Gotta love connections.

Good will and interaction is always a good thing.
