mapleleaf15 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hi all. I am new to vending. Just started this month with a few triple head bulk vending machines. I want to start a few honor boxes to get more b ang for my startup buck. Any thoughts? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS Vending Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I started in bulk candy and added honor boxes and do better on the honor boxes. They're my favorite part of our business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaf15 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks JCS. How many of each do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherdsflock Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hard to make a full time business out of honor boxes, but if done right it sounds like other members have found them to be a great addition to more traditional vending operations.

Finding good locations for double and triple bulk machines can be challenging, and people can't just take your product without paying like they can with an honor box. That is my concern for somebody starting with the goal of going full time is that they might not be able to find and keep enough profitable locations to provide themselves with a decent income.

treadmill Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I think it is viable, just follow Dennis on his honor box journey and he is doing it full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkjake Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Very viable...as soon as I get all my equipment out I will be placing my order for several boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcraig Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I am planning on getting into the Honour Boxes over here in the UK (in work places/staff rooms etc.). I am paying a driver (part time) to install/service/cash up within my vending business and figure that he needs something else to keep him busy during quiet times. I am going to have a shot at 50 or so and see how they go - then I may look at a cheap bulk selling skittles/jelly beans/etc. placed with them as well (may as well if we are collecting from the site anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcraig Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 After looking around the forums, I quite like the mint/sweet Honor boxes - I have never seen anything like that around where I live and feel there may be some scope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Vending Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Sorry for the late response. I have 10 honor boxes and 13 candy machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
