moondog Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hey guys. What do u suggest for both a machine and product ideas for a 150-200 person gym? I am kind of lost as to what to offer lol. Do gyms do well? Maybe gatorade/snack combo machine since it's pretty small?? If you think it's too small then why do it? Combo machines are only good for very large accounts as a satellite machine in the management office - if the account does any kind of volume a combo machine won't handle it unless you plan on servicing it three times a week. Gyms are not considered lucrative accounts but I'm sure there are exceptions. It's best to keep a lean profile by not loading yourself up with marginal accounts just to place some machines.

hawksfan9325 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 I agree with you. This gym is right next door to my other account which does $1,000 a month. I guess I just have to try and find a cheap machine if I decide to do it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as long as you're not makng a special stop to service it a combo would be okay - good luck finding a decent cheap combo machine, the APs and Nationals will both be well north of a grand which is a lot for a marginal account.

dogcow Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 put a drink machine there, otherwise skip it vending is for lazy people who make bad money decisions (no offense) gym types arent really the types for vending, the only exception is things like diet drinks, sport drinks, diet sports drinks, energy drinks , bottle water, otherwise u are gonna be requested to put protien drinks and health food crap that wont sell if its next door i would consider putting a drink machine there because i usually have an extra one or two kicking around the ware house and load it up with gatorade, energy drink and waters. otherwise forget it. i will take marginal accts on 1 month service cycles, i do all my laundromats on 1 month cycles it is great, frankly . i use big capacity machines and long dated product. its not something that works with picky customers, it only works in a place where the owner isnt around to hear complaints or only cares about $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of putting in the classic DN501E. Probably just do some vitamin water, gatorade, and energy drink, and some bottled water. 1 month service interval is perfect. I will ask the owner what he thinks. He wants a commission, but I don't think that is gonna fly if the revenues come in weak. In a gym with 150-200 members, open 24-7, what kind of sales do you think I could get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a gym with 150-200 members, open 24-7, what kind of sales do you think I could get? commission is added ON TOP of your profit. so f.ex if you can of coke cost $0.32, to make the money u need, u sell it for $0.75, now lets say the company wants 25% commission, ur price goes from 0.75 to 0.95 ... because u are always gonna need that 75 cent to keep ur biz going commissions NEVER COMES OUT OF PROFIT ALWAYS ON TOP in full line vending hope this helps & good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Drink only No Combo Comission on top of whatever your normal selling price is as long as it doesnt cause you to price yourself out of the range people will buy. If the account will not agree to these terms then move on and try getting a better account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
