Tha's music bulk vending... I don't phuck wit dat... that's mad work and if you get a bunch of stops... you out all day. and with the price of gas nowaday, that shit eats
into your profit quick...
I did some research on them and I think each machine can yield around $25.00 and the price is usually fixed. Which means if the price of the product goes up you make less.

But I know a sister that does this full time... I think she may be a stay at home mom...
but she has like 100 of these and she says sees about 900 to a 1000 some months..
but not all the time.... so for her it's worth it. She does while the children are in school.

$25 a what? A day I hope! WTF?


That is like $10 a machine per month for ole girl...gtfoh!

I had got one from a friend of mine a while back and it was one of those that had 3 different compartments...M&M's , Skittles , and Reese's Pieces....I put it in a barber shop and I would usually generate about 100-150 bucks in a week or two span..

Exactly

I do see them at trucking distro's, but I have some really good locations such as the many lower income hotels downtown etc.... Military base, UPS etc would also be good places.

I've got a question, forgive me if it has been addressed- but what do the businesses you put your machines in expect as compensation for using their space? Do you negotiate something beforehand based on a flat fee or profit? One site I read suggested getting "fundraising" stickers for your machines so a business owner could write off the use of space to a charity. Just curious.

Just some more of my opinion and thoughts here. Will post up some links soon. Just have to fish through it all.

For all those that have the gift of gab.... I suggest you start hitting these drink manufacturers up. Arizona Tea out of Brooklyn is ripe to clean their image up... They already provide refrigeration to some stores to carry their products... I say someone compose a nice letter spelling out the benefits of branding their own vending machines. And see if we can't get a few of those.

Oh yeah, and check this out..... I just came up with another idea..... If anyone does this.... why not post back up here how we can eat too. I'm putting the idea out but I don't really have the time to pursue it... but if someone does get it going.. .come back and post up so we can get it next.

Check it..... Get a deal with the Airports... put Machines on the inside of the terminals that contain Deorderant, Toothpaste, etc... That wouldn't be a conflict with the other businesses in the area as most do not sell this stuff. Think about it.. .all you need is like 1 or 2 machines in each terminal.. no hourly wages, TSA ain't got to worry about folk carrying on the wrong shit.... make your prices competitive but reasonable....
You can use the current Snack Machines on the market not mods needed... But again, if you good with words.. you might want to approach.. Gillett, schick.. Colgate, mennen to see if they want to sponsor/brand a machine... It's like wrapping a bus... get your shit paid for 2 ways....

Tha's it for me right now....
Let's keep this going.....

Yeah, folk. You balled out with this information. You in my city. We need to link. My ex been wanting to do vending machines for the past half decade.
