If you have a vending machines business then you will know by now that it requires some attention.
There is an art to retailing through vending machines.
Think of your vending machines as employees.
You have to encourage them, build them up, try different things with them, and develop their potential.
Same is true with your vending business.
There are basic functions that you can do to increase your revenues.
The 4 easiest ways to improve your revenues: Lesson number 1 is to keep your machines clean.
Believe me if your machines are looking dirty they will get used less frequently.
Have some pride in your equipment.
Sometimes that means taking out product that is faded or cracked.
I have lost plenty of products over the years.
Lesson number 2 is moving your vending machine to a different spot in the same location.
This can make a difference.
Why do you think supermarkets place the food in certain areas? The candy is always at the check out.
This little tip can make you significant increases.
I like my machines visible and easy to use.
Lesson number 3 is to monitor which products are selling poorly and change your product mix accordingly.
I have over 40 different products that I use in my bulk vending machines.
I like using jawbreakers, gourmet jelly beans, sour gumballs, m&ms, reeses pieces, toys capsules, bouncy balls, skittles, peanut butter m&ms, peanut m&ms.
I keep my customers guessing all the time.
Lesson number 4 is to move your under performing machines to entirely new locations.
This is where most operators fail.
You have to get out there and find the new locations.
It is a numbers game.
If there are other machines where you want to put your machine, provide alternative products.
Do not rely on professional site finders.
You must develop this skill if you want to be successful in this industry.
Remember; take pride in your business.
Be proactive, change products, get new locations, keep your machines clean and monitor performance.
