Charity or Commission?

[pdavid]

So far, I've only offered commissions to businesses.  Would I gain more accounts, more yes answers, by hooking up with a charity?

I believe using a charity is the easiest way for placing 1-3 head machines, but some I have done without either. I even have a snack and pop location with no commission.

If you are doing a rack you will probably need to go commission. There are others on the board with more experience in racks than me, sure they will chime in shortly.

     The answer is yes in my experience and I'll tell you why.  I live in a fairly small town and use a local charity.  People here are more willing to help out a local (key word) charity than make a few bucks for themselves.  Plus, once people know they will only make about 15% on a machine that does $20 a month, they are not really interested anyways.

PS: What do you pay for commission?

I pay 30% but thus far have only used SportsBlasters in just a few locations. Haven't gone into candy w/ regular machines yet.
