Great idea guys!
I'll throw in some gumballs. Any advice as to what I should include in the second head? Is there an item that adults tend to like or that will work well in a bar scene?
Thanks,
I have stayed away from gum since most of my locations have expressed concern about it making a mess. With that said, this one has not said anything about it. Do you think I should add gum? What type of gum would you recommend?
Thanks,
Hi Guys,
I am relatively new to the business but have been following your advice since the beginning.
My question for you guys is: My first location that I placed on my route is a pool hall. I was super excited to place it and thought it would do extremely well since they regularly have a packed house. (50+ people all night long) Much to my dismay it has done very poorly over the past year and wanted to solicit some advice from you guys on what I can do to improve its performance.
I started out with a double head A&A machine with M&I and Skittles. It did about $3-$5 a month for six or so months. I then changed it to Hot Tamales and Reese's Pieces and have been averaging $4-$6 a month for the past few months.
I don't necessarily want to pull it as I have two more machines right next door and I believe a machine out in the wild will make more than being in my garage.
What should I vend? What would you guys do?
A bit more about me and my plan: I have 10 A&A doubles placed which vend primarily Skittles and M&I. I have a Mr. Baseball machine which is killing it and is by far my most profitable machine thus far. I placed a Sports blaster 4 days ago next to the Mr. Baseball machine with hopes that they will both perform very well. (They are in a pizza place with games from another vender so I am hopeful that I will gain a larger percentage of the quarters.) How do you guys think I should tackle this?
Going forward I am leaning more towards Sports blasters / Shooting hoops/ and other machines of the sort but I guess each location has their specific needs.
Thanks again everyone for sharing the wealth of knowledge that is hear on Vendiscuss.
