bulkvendingwizard Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 i obtained a small restaurant which is a charity based location. I placed a double head in the after 12 days the toy head was completely empty which i had a generic mystery mix and the second head had gumballs which were about half way empty. This location will not support a rack the machines are in a small vestibule. Any thoughts on how i can upgrade this with the small foot space that is provided.

rogersmith Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 You could try a single Tomy Gacha Column (two compartments) if you think that the kids can afford $1 vends in the area of the city where you have the machine situated. If the Tomy sells out, its like you have eight 25 cent heads (assuming you keep product costs close to 20% of gross). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserri Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I know you said space prohibits a rack but a you can put a 4 way in the same space the double takes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yes, I have a 2 column tattoo machine with a PN95 on one side of it, a 2001 2" machine on the other side and another PN95 on top of it. I used 2 l brackets made out of steel. Hand to run a length of strapping to the 2001 for support too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkvendingwizard Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have a 4 way rack I may try it and see if the owner complains because of the space in the vestibule if he doesn't ill but a 2" on top and gumballs and bouncy balls on the bottom.

This may be a bit off topic, but appropriate IMHO... Be careful "upgrading" charity spots without permission! Sounds like you don't have a direct OK from the owner and are thinking of slamming more heads in?? That could back fire. The location is doing you a favor and not charging any rent, so adding more stuff could look like you are taking advantage. Other vendors (myself included) have added more heads to charity spots thinking that it will be no big deal and that no one will care or notice. But sometimes it ticks off the owner and you can get the boot - then you will ticked. Sometimes you have to let sleeping dogs lay in charity spots. I would wait 3 or 4 months before upgrading. In the mean time, maybe chit-chat with the workers and owner when ever possible during the servicing to help get a "lay of the land". Good luck, but be careful - don't get kicked out.

bulkvendingwizard Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 JAX thats a good idea. I might just upgrade the heads to extended globes and wait before doing a major upgrade. This location will definatley get a Xmas cake or cookie from me this year as a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22443360 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Or you could just do it the pro way, and pay them a comission. That way the owner and you have the same goal, making maximum profits. And you wont lose it, when I move to the states and take over all those sad charity spots.. :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkvendingwizard Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 well 2234 I met with the owner last week and gave him the option of comission or donating to charity and he preferred charity. Just because you see a charity machine in a store doesn't mean you can walk in and pitch them a comission rate and get the account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you see a charity machine in a store doesn't mean you can walk in and pitch them a comission rate and get the account. there is definite truth to this, I have charity spots that I don't believe could be gotten any other way. Alot of successful business owners could care less about a $15-50 comission but do like to feel the are helping out with a needy cause. And before this gets the old "charity locating is a scam" debate started I DO tell the locations what the charity gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commission just doesn't hold the same appeal to locations in my area. I'm sure there are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
