jerrybrecko Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I am looking for a locator service that will place my micro-markets in 150+ employee offices or warehouses. I need 2 locations placed initially and then 1 monthly there after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Don't we all. I need someone to line me up "alone time" with Kiera Knightley. Jerry, my guess is anybody qualified to to this is doing it for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrybrecko Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I dont know. I think any locator that targets large office buildings would be qualified. I dont know any locator services that have vending machines. I find locators better than sales reps because they do know what they are doing and they replace locations at little or no cost if its a bad location. I dont know any hourly sales reps doing that. I guess the question is Can anyone recomend a locator service that targets large offices or warehouses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poplady1 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Micro Markets need more than 150 employees. Bump that up to around 250 and then give it a try. We just closed one in Brea Ca. Mfg and distriubution with 380 employees. It took about 3 months from bid to close. Our Canteen franchise company is setting up the market. Now we wait to see how it is going to do. Our commission on this one was employee count based at 15.00 per head (or 5700.00). This market replaced 14 machines. We would have charged 500 each units so this market reflected a savings on our commission for the franchise company. These markets are high risk not for the faint of heart. So may want to wait until more results are in. The build in alone takes a lot longer then you might imagine. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VendingFanatic Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Any updates on how that Micro Market you set up back in 2014 is doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Yes about 7 months in they asked if they could go back to full line vending. It was office and blue collar. The office area did great whereas the blue collar group had a terrible theft ratio. Even with the video where they could id the workers they just gave us our vendor the money rather than talk to these employees. In the end, they continued with the small market in the employee office building and went back to full line on the production side. The office had 126 emp on site daily. Averaged $575 to $750 weekly. 2 coolers, 2 racks, coffee, 1 freezer. 4 microwaves Not sure about the production area. We have found adding a small market to an office with 90 to 150emp (average) triples the income made using traditional vending machines. A lot of the vendors we represent like the smaller markets that they can build out using coolers, racks, coffee machines and buying a small Koisk. Runs about $8500. Here is a setup we just did, looks nice don't you agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCV Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 150 is a little low. We typically aim for higher foot traffic for a micro market. We aim for closer to 250-500. Give us a call and we can discuss, 949-371-9461 www.balancedchoicevending.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
