Find and Keep Good Locations

Tags: machine

A vending Machine can be either an asset or a liability. While it is in your garage it is a liability, while on location it is an asset. Your goal is to have more locations than machines. You should be waiting to get new equipment, NOT have extra equipment in your garage waiting for a location. Having great locations is what saved me when I told you last email about my very first machines (you remember them, I paid $3000 / machine). Even if you over-pay for a machine it loses its bite if it can be put on location immediately – cash flow always helps to ease the pain.

Go out and find solid locations that are both high volume and easy to deal with. With any location you will want to build a good “trust factor”. Most vending operators place their machines and then forget about the location, this is no good. Talk to your location’s employees and develop a professional rapport. Don’t try to avoid them like many vendors. If you run snack and soda machines they will tell you exactly what they like to eat / drink. I’ve been able to boost my sales buy 25% by just paying attention to my customer.

This tactic has also helped me to get some of my best locations due to referrals from current locations. It is very unusual for a vending operator to give ANY customer service, much less good service. This will make you stand apart from all your competition.

Now that you understand its importance, learn more about finding a good vending location.
