Anyone have success NOT offering comm. to the location, but ONLY a % to charity??

[TheLizard747]

Just wondered... Thought about starting out locating by NOT offering comm. to location, but ONLY  selling them on the 10-15% to charity... anyone do this/tried this before?

Yes, I have placed machines that support charity.  Be persistent and you will find locations.

That is the common scenario for charity vending.

Most charities charge a royalty of $1 to $1.50 per month for each machine. That payment allows you to use their stickers on your machines. Most, if not all vendors do not pay an additional commission to the location if they are a charity vendor.

lizard, read the back posts so you will have a better understanding on how charity vending works. 99% of locations are one or the other (charity or commission) not both.

start with the vending 101 section, then read the rest. there is a ton of info on here that will help you alot.

welcome and good luck

Charity works in most places. There are always a few that if you really want them you must also pay commission. You will soon see that many businesses will ask you what's in it for them?

If you are running $.25 machines 20% would be $.05 for each time a quarter is put in your machine. That's what I give them. The amount you use is up to you.

Lizard, that is all I do.  I give 15% to charity, and the location gets  to put quarters in my machine.

I am going to ask, a percentage of what?  Sales, Net income, Gross income?  These all make a huge difference in amount of commission paid.

I give 15% of my gross to charity.

We do 25% Gross commission, and give about 5% charity.

Kyle,

Is that 25% on crane's? That would be a lot on candy and toy capsules.

25% on bulk. 35% - 50% with cranes.

We bulk vendors in TN are very, we shall say kick out happy.
