Vending Drinks Midlessex

This meant I needed...

Pricing flexibility. I needed to be able to raise or lower myprices according to my supplier costs or customer demands. Thatmeant I needed to have snack vending machines that gave me thatoption without any additional equipment upgrades. That meantmechanical was out, you just don't have the kind of pricingflexibility with mechanical as you do with electronic. Withelectronic you can raise or lower prices of individualselections and do that within seconds. With a mechanical snackvending machine you might have a customer stand in front of yourmachine with a pocket full of coins but your mechanical machinecan't sell her anything because it isn't configured to acceptcertain coins.

Payment options. All my snack vending machines came with builtin capabilities to add payment options. I could have added abill acceptor if I wanted to. This may have boosted sales if thecustomer had bills in her pocket instead of coins. Some machinesmay allow you to add credit card or smart card capabilities.

Product options. Have you seen the Pringles chips businessopportunity? How about the Campbell’s soup business opportunity?There are others and in my view Pringles chips are good productsas is Campbell's soup, but the business opportunity is garbage.

For $100 at the time I owned my business I could have purchasedan add-on to install that would have given me the ability tosell cans of Campbell’s soup if I wanted to. I would have had tosell a lot of soup to pay for it though. Plus when the Pringleschip business opportunity was going around I bought a coil forone of my snack vending machines that allowed me to sell thatproduct. For $20 at the time I was selling the same thing thoseso-called " Pringles Vending Machines " were doing!

A lot of people lost a lot of money buying into those so-calledbusiness opportunities. I know because I saw the machines forsale months after I saw those so called business opportunitiesadvertised.

The bottom line with snack vending machines is that they can beextremely versatile. You can sell a lot of different types ofproducts other than just snacks. The ability to change yourprices quickly and easily are vital and the option of installingadditional payment capabilities is also a necessity.

Don't limit your options when you purchase snack vendingmachines. At some point in your business you may want to sell ahigher cost item(s) and there is a good chance that snackvending machines may be able to do that for you.
