eboniesmith Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'm definitely going to join the NBVA, only because I don't know any other associations aside from NAMA and I'm not sure if they cover bulk vending. My first impressions with NBVA aren't very good. They never answer the phone and even when I leave a message with my contact information, they've failed to get in touch with me. Are you a member of the National Bulk Vendors Association? If not, why? If so, is it helpful? Would you recommend it?

I figured they could be a great tool regardless of business size? Anyone else?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith Vending Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 What kind of machines are you planning to buy? Have you bought any yet? Eve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eboniesmith Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Gumball and candy. See, I'm actually in the process of writing my business plan. I wanted to complete it before I bought machines, so I'd know what type of machines to buy and how many depending on my financial projections (uses of funds, cashflow statement, income projection, and break even analysis) and after I've done my research on market and industry trending. These have actually been hurdles in my progress. I figured an association like NBVA would give me access to market information, laws, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
