shepherdsflock Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm wondering what non-candy items might do well in more adult oriented locations. For example, I have a laundromat that I almost never see kids in. It's all college students. I don't think traditional bulk toys would sell too well to this crowd, but I'm wondering what else I could offer besides candy. Any suggestions? By the way, it has to be 1" size and vend at 50 cents.

rdendy Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Temporary tats, adult type key chains like the Harley ones at AA, novelty stuff like the fortune dice, stuff college kids might dig is my best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherdsflock Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Does anyone think colored hair extensions (like these http://www.tntvend.com/images/phocagallery/top-sellers/capsule-toys/thumbs/phoca_thumb_l_hair-extensions-fw.jpg ) would sell very well with college age girls?

I get alot of business from teenage and young adult girls on 1 inch acyrlic rings, but like I said in another post get them from cardinal if you do because aa's rings suck!

Pitstopped Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 This is my experience with a 1" at .50 near a college. It surprised me! I live in a college town. My first location was a Japanese grill next to college. It is almost all college kids crowd, they actually accept college debit card for payment. I had a double Northwestern 60 with .25 gumball wheel and .50 1" wheel. I did Dubble Bubble and Bouncy Balls for .50. Yes.... I figured no one would buy the 27mm BB for .50. But it was all I had and I didn't know any better. The gumball did about $10 a month and the BB did about $28 month. I have since changed the Gumball to .25 Dubble Bubble chewing gum squares and it does $20 month now. The .50 BB still does almost $30 month. It still surprises me each month.

shepherdsflock Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Acrylic rings might just be a good idea. Thanks, will.vend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Mustache Mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherdsflock Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've already got some mustache mix ordered for some other locations, so I think I might put some in this location as a trial and if it does well I'll order a whole bag for that location. Then, maybe the next month, I'll switch another head to acrylic rings. Between mustaches and acrylic rings, I think that should cover he demographics.

lowcountry Dan Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks for the ideas. I have to get into toys. Can I use a 1" gumball machine to vend these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks for the ideas. I have to get into toys. Can I use a 1" gumball machine to vend these? For 27mm round caps yes, otherwise you need to remove the riser for the more common 1.1" acorn caps, or get a different wheelset from the manufacturer, depending on the type of machine. Good luck!
