A Look at the Vending Industry: Articles Four and Five

ARTICLE FOUR:
IMMEDIATE CASH FLOW. Your income starts as soon as your machine is on location. There are no advertising costs after all you are selling products that are nationally advertised and globally recognized, such as Coca Cola, Lay's and Red Bull creating impulse sales for your vending machine. Vending machines also come equipped with the latest in bill changing technology to cater to your clients needs.

ARTICLE FIVE:
NO PERSONAL SELLING REQUIRED. Vending machines do all of the work for you, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They are always on the job and are never late for work.

You have to like the "never late for work" part. Which brings me to my point. With most locations, you can service your machines when ever you want. You don't have to punch in, just tell your client when you'll be there. You may have to work out a good time for them, but it's normally up to you when you want to check and fill the machines. Okay, and no advertising? They're right, you never have to advertise your products, it's already done for you. Since it's already done, keep brand awareness in mind when purchasing machines to. Machines that are product display friendly aren't designed to take advantage of all of that free advertising. Display windows are a must.

Stay tuned next week. I plan to post more then. Have a great weekend everyone!!
