Looking At Best Places To Put Vending Machines

By Frances Bailey


Vending machine business is a profitable venture to serve the general population with drinks, food, and products that may be required by the population in a given area. There are few variable costs in running the business except for refilling and maintenance. However, the machines must invoke impulse buying by being in locations frequented by the public. Below are suggestions of the best places to put vending machines.

You could place a vending machine on auto repair departments. When customers come for car service, they spend quite some time in the waiting area for their cars to be serviced. During this time, they could be taking a beverage along with some snacks. You can have a snack shop on the side for this purpose.

Vending machines can also be placed near office blocks. If the complex belongs to a single firm, you may request the firm to allow you put the machine on the premises. Ensure that the office has at least fifty people if you are selling snacks. Sodas and other packed soft drinks may stay longer. Snack cannot go past a few days.

You can also approach the retail shops. Their customers would purchase when coming in and out from buying foodstuffs, clothing and much more. Stock the items that are not sold at the respective stores. A good example is offering DVD rentals to a convenience store. You could also sell airtime at the same location.

You can have the machines at motels lodgings and guesthouses. Most travelers have little food to eat and a number does not like moving around to get some food. These areas have high foot traffic that may also require other items such as toiletries on top of beverages and snacks. Thus, a toiletries selling can also be a good idea.

You may also think of the parks and skateboard selling shops as other viable locations. Children are a prime market for candies, salty snacks, and sodas. The park can also be a prime location for beverages, snacks, and water. Gift cards and toiletries are also good products to sell to visitors at the park.

Temporarily, you can place the equipment in bowling alleys and stadiums when there are events at the locations. You can carry the vending machine to the stadium and taken back to the premise at the end of the event. The spectators are great buyers of everything including snacks, soft drinks and much more. Ensure that the management at the stadium has given you the nod before bringing your vending equipment to the location.

Study the behaviors of the public in areas you would like to have the vending machines to determine what items are required and not readily available. Moreover, place the machines in strategic places where the passer-by would not feel insecure or embarrassed to use the machine. Finally, be conducting visits to the machines to find if they are in good working condition. Choose very carefully to ensure you get the right output.
