How many head is good for bulk candy vending?

well a great standard to Start is Single head Gumballs, Or double heads with Gumballs, and candy like peanut Ms, Skittles, Mike ikes ect.

 

Generally most places suit a double head nicely, But some locations such as Family Dinners, or Busy Factory/Offices/Car mechanic shops can suit a triple head very well.

 

When you get some good locations like those family restaurants though its good to upgrade to Racks, with toys aswell.

 

Don't limit your growth, and believe in your service!

Using a little bit of math I gotta say this is untrue 100% of the time.  

More sales per month, done it multiple times downgrading quads and lypc triples to doubles and increased my sales.

Not sure why, maybe too much product, maybe third and fourth product takes away from best sellers.

I've seen this as well with a uturn down to a double, and a triple. I actually dug into it a little while back.

One of the people I talked to in merchandising said that a double, or single has more visibility and attraction than a uturn where you have to turn it tho see the other side and most triples that you can only see the front.

I've done the same and never once had that experience.  Think about it, if the 3rd and 4th product "steal" from the top two products, that quarter is still going into your machine.  Now, I can't speak intelligently about the U-Turn phenomenon, I don't have experience with those.

I didnt say 'steal', I said 'takes away'.

If you have a third or fourth product, visually it distracts from the other two more popular products, even though those are visible. Because those other products are not as popular less coins go in.

Likewise, when you swap to a double you increase the product visibility of the top two products. It acts like a sign promoting the top two. Customers focus on the more popular products and more coins go in.

Gotcha.  I couldn't disagree more, but I understand what you're saying.  Watching customers while I service my machines, whether it's an adult or child, the decision to buy is usually made before the decision of what to buy. They walk up, quarters in hand, surveying their choices.  Unless it's a repeat customer of course.  Then they already know where they're going.
