Beer980 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I seem to remember reading somewhere that there is like a 50% theft rate of product on honor boxes. I guess it would depend on the location and what you are placing in the box. Maybe a bite sized candy honor box would be the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcinnick Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I think honor boxes need to be in small offices where there is no other option to get something to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Key Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have a bulk triple head in a nail salon, that unfortunately, has a honor box sitting right on top of it. The honor box is not mine. The location kinda stinks, I need to relocate. Give it a shot. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vend LLC Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Brian has the right idea Benjie. If you try one and it works, you can always add more to your route. Just a few question: Do you think the honor box will hurt your vending machine business? If you buy product to fill the honor box, how many pieces could you have disappear, before you are losing money? Would you try to put items in the honor box that don't compete with your vending machines? Hey, how about letting someone else place boxes on your machines and giving you a cut of their business.

25cent_smile Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 O.K. This is just an idea. My u-turns have a cone-shaped top which prevents anyone placing anything on top. So, with that in mind, why not try mounting a small sign on top of your machine. This would prevent anyone else from using your space. You can even offer the sign space to the location as part of the placement deal. My other business is a monthly news publication. Sometimes we find other publications in our racks. It is our policy to call that other publication and let them know, and if it doesn't change we remove them and throw their stuff in the trash. That's what I would do if another vendor placed their stuff on top of mine. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcinnick Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 If the location wants the honor box there, I would take the extra 6.2 seconds or so to move the box and put it back, but I would not place my own honor box on top of my machines in public areas.
