A couple of Good Bulk Candy Vending Machine Tips

Here are a couple of good tips I found. I am always looking for great bulk candy vending machine tips out on the net to post to this blog for those of you who come here looking for free tips and information that can help you build, buy or start your bulk candy vending machine business.

Tip 1

Don't be stingy! I'm always surprised when I buy a used machine and find it set for the smallest vend possible! Do people really think they are going to increase profit by setting their machine to vend 4 peanut M&Ms? How much repeat business will that bring? none. A succesful location depends on regular customers as well as high foot traffic. I almost always run into someone when I am servicing my route who is happy to tell me "HEY, I hit this machine like three times a week!". Open that hopper all the way, it will pay off in higher volume which to me is more important than an extra profit of 2 or 3 cents per vend. Just try this, put 7 peanut M&M"S in one hand and 4 in the other. There is a BIG difference. Don't let someone walk away from one of your machines feeling cheated, They will never come back.

Tip 2

Be CLEAN! I carry a rolling suitcase with me to service my machines. It's a convenient way to carry everything I need into a location and it keeps the work area neat and organized, which makes me look professional. I keep my coin bags, tools, product, lables and most importantly, cleaning supplies. I use a citrus based cleaner on the outside of the machines because it leaves a smell that doesn't cause concern and it also deters ants from hanging around the base. I clean the machines EVERY time I service them and I make a big deal of it. I take my time and make sure lots of people see me doing it.(especially the owner or manager of the property). This gives them a good feeling about having me and my machine in their establishment. I also carry and use a box of disposable gloves when I work. Do NOT let anyone see you touch your product with your bare hands, EVER. You may have very clean hands but they don't know that. You may never touch product when you pour it into your machines, but THEY DON"T KNOW THAT! If someone gets grossed out watching you work they will not only avoid your machine, but they will talk about it to others as well. This will cost you tons of profit if not the location itself.

Interesting Bulk Candy Vending Locator Message

This is a message I read out on one of the Chat forums from this guy Aussie who lives in Australia. I thought it was pretty good and a bit inspirational. I am not sure you will all agree with the message, but their is a lot of truth in it. Read below...

CONGRATULATIONS, you have just located your first vending machine.
The best locator on the planet is "YOU" I am pleased you made the time to read.
Stop paying others to locate machines for you, you're wasting your money.
Consider this a moment. You "made" the time "yourself" to read this article.
If you had "paid" someone to read this for you, they would have read it, well they could have read it, they may not have read it at all.
What benefit did "you" gain by paying? None. You gave your money away for something you should have done yourself.
Sure it takes way more effort and time to locate machines compared to reading this article, but it cost's you nothing, only your time and effort are spent. Your rewards far out weigh effort.
I think you have grasped my point here. But I will continue on with a stronger point of view.
Time is not an issue, everyone has some spare time to locate. Anyone who thinks or says "i have no time to locate my machines" should stay away from this industry. You sure find time to collect coins, no excuses.
Don't watch T.V. locate machines instead.
Stop playing on the computer, locate machines instead.
Once you have located all your machines yourself, that's the time for play, relaxing etc.
Locating vending machines makes hard work at first , but it's rewarding for "you"
in the long term, most of all you can do it yourself. Stop being lazy.
How long would it take to "personally" locate only one machine per day, on foot? (Not phone)
Maybe one hour, maybe two hours. You have just saved $50. - $100. bucks or more. How long does it take for you to earn $100. or $1000. one week or two?
Would you pay a so called professional love maker to make love to your sweetheart for one or two hours each day? Who would benefit most here?
In this example it would not cost you any money either, mostly for you guys. lol.
The bottom line...
Love locating everyday as much as love making and you will prosper. Then maybe you'll become such an expert at the locating game, you can charge some poor bugger a small fortune for something you know he/she could have done themselves but were simply too lazy to get out and go for it . Winners never give up.
