loach33 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Harvending - I had forgot about your original post until this one came up. I have snack honor boxes out there now, but this is intriguing to fill in the gaps between offices, etc. Can you tell us, in general, where your locations are? Where you've had the best luck in locating? Restaurants, offices, retail??? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llcoolrobb Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I am using acrylic boxes, this looks much better on counter. I an using york patties from Sams, and striped mints from sams, Bobs mints. I am seeing Bobs mints do about the same. I have been testing Tootsie Roll bite size and I am seeing a lot of loss. I will stop using when I use up stock. Bobs mints 2 for 25 .02 cent each. These have a 2 year self life and hold up at any temperature what size boxes do you use and how much per box did you pay? about how many mints do the acrylic boxes hold? thanks!

treadmill Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 He uses the same ones that I use from Sheridan Systems in Buffalo, Ny. They are I think $18.50 a piece plus shipping and hold 100 York peppermint patties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treadmill Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well got my 125 mint boxes located last week. Got a call early on Sat. morning requesting I fill box up due to it being empty and pick up the money. Went and serviced box and took it home and counted money to find $35 in box. Now the reason for it being so high was that my price points starting out are .35 or 3/$1. Hoping to nip the shrinkage in the bud with the higher price point. So far no problems. Also found out avg per month is around $18 gross. Mints sold at Sam's for $12.42 come out to 7 cents per piece. Hoping to get the rest of the 275 boxes located before years end.

loach33 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Geez, leave 3 boxes. Problem is that's $100 sitting there waiting for you. Might be an every week stop. Good problem to have. Those with a mint box/ lollipop route..... Would you place a second or third box and risk theft of all that cash to save some time. Or do you just stop there every week?

treadmill Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 They only wanted 1 box, so I asked to leave extra mints and they said they would fill it up when it got low. Also just picked up box and counted it, $77 and no shrinkage in 9 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VendNovice Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Harvending, I'm in the planning stage. I've recently caught on to the honor donation boxes. I was looking into snack boxes before seeing how the candy donation boxes could possibly work for me. I really value your information posts. Questions, if you would be so kind: I believe you wrote that you found your locator through Craigslist(apologies if I'm wrong). How in the world did you do that? I've looked for locators and found none on Craigslist. Maybe I did it incorrectlly or there're just none in my area. You mentioned he will travel - do you know how far he would travel(I believe you're in North Carolina; I'm several states north)? It seems like he gets locations quickly and will relocate poor performers I guess within a period of time. I understand it would have to be worth his while to travel. I want to start and increase locations quickly, so I believe I could make it worth someone's while. I've read a lot on other telemarket locators, and a couple of them seem to be pretty good, but in reading your posts, maybe an in-person locator would be better - especially at a rate similar to one of the telemarket locators. If you see fit to answer my questions, please do so by PM(I'm new to this forum, but I think I can figure the PM function out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
