When starting out in the vending machine business the beat way to do it is by not spending a fortune on your machines.
The key is to find good quality vending machines for the very best price them place them on a location that will allow you to pay off the machine as quickly as possible so you can start to take your profits and reinvest in new equipment and again place them on locations in your community.
This formula will make you money and build your vending business the right way. Going about your business in this manner will also provide you with the most income in the long run. Don’t just make your money then spend it right away. Even if you do try to put a little to the side for the purchase of your next machine will help.
Making money in the vending business really depends on a few factors. First the types of machines that you are using to make money with and more importantly the products that you are selling in the machines.
Profit margins and sales volume are king in vending. You could have the nicest machine but if there is no traffic at your location you won’t make a dime. Plus you need to be selling products that offer high profit margins so you actually make some money.
I have always found that selling soda cans or bottles and snacks like chips, chocolate bars, gum, cookies and candies are the best sellers in my vending machines. I have found that these products offer high profit margins and are really easy to sell.
Like I said the trick is to find your machines for a good price when starting out so do some homework and research before spending your hard earned money on your first vending machine.
This leg work that you now do in the beginning will help you in the long run. One thing to make sure of also is to be sure that whatever machine that you want to buy make sure that you can get parts for them.
This is important because if your machine breaks for any reason you will want to be sure that you can get it fixed as soon as possible so you do not risk losing your account and making your customers unhappy.
Take this information and use it to get started. This is just a snippet of what you can do in the vending business. If you really want to make some serious money in the vending business then you will eventually want to learn strategies for finding your locations because this is the most important part of the business.
