mission vending Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I wouldn't offer any commission at a low volume location like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendors Tech Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 If they don't ask for it, don't bring it up. If they bring it up, say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogcow Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's gonna be ok for that type of location however I gotta give it to dog cow he predicted my car lot/ tire and rim place would suck and it sure does. Dog cow what places do good for u buddy? And how do u locate it depends, snack only? snack and drink? drink only? i have recently decided i only want to do 2 type of accounts for drink/snack hotels and laundromats this is because they provide the best combination of volume and low hassle. there is very little concern by the location of what goes in the snack machine, you can put mostly long dated items, you can also charge very high prices . they dont care about healthy vending or any of that bs. getting the accounts is easy, they just want high commission and they want u to keep the machine working and stocked. most laundries dont even care what the machine looks like. plus with laundries i can give them a full "vending solution" because i also provide claw games ,coin pushers and arcade games so they just have one contact to deal with and they get one check at the end of the month. hotel accts u have to use nice equipment, but if you get the run down crack motels u can put cheaper machines and they dont really care, plus those places make GREAT money from my experience. i would consider doing big section 8 apartments too, if they didnt want commission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I agree the combo unit is probably going to be a headache for you. The type of location could be OK but only time will tell. If they start shaking that machine you will need to pull it. Maybe you could pick up a cheap can vendor if the combo gives you trouble. That type of unit needs to be in a office where people won't tear it apart. Good luck regardless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipromotebusiness Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well I can simply remove the top portion and only have the drink unit there. I am leaning towards that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
