ska173 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 This is the first rack I've build and I'm quite happy with it. Ideally I would be running toys, gum balls, bouncy balls, etc. but this location stipulated edibles (non gum) only. So I will roll with that setup for now!

GagesVending Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Better get some labels on those panel heads; but other than that, cool, good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ska173 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 What labels do you recommend Gages, stickers or on of the static clings? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Looks good Eli! I use Frank for labels (sweetstop vending). Good price and he usually gets them to me in 5 business days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 What labels do you recommend Gages, stickers or on of the static clings? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I make my own. I like to print candy logos and tape them inside the panel/globe. If you attach on the outside, after a couple of months they'll get peeled off. You could go with either stickers or clings and I agree with Rick, Sweetstop has nice labels. I've used some of his price stickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Because of how your rack is situated, the top machines will get more sunlight than the bottom machines. Consider putting the red back panels on all the top machines. Those panels will give your product some shading to delay issues with sunlight. You can swap heads or just swap the panels. Summer is approaching. It may even be a good idea to put those panels on 3 sides on each of those top heads since none of those candies do well in sunlight. Best of luck...I hope the location is a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ska173 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thanks for the advice Sherlock, I have quite a bit of extra paneling I can put it in all of the advised heads Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherdsflock Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 As others have mentioned, get some labels and sun protection. After a few months, approach the location again about trying some toys or bouncy balls. The worst they can do is say no. Maybe approach it like, "Hey, things are going okay, could I do a thirty day trial of bouncy balls in one head?". And, if you're paying them a commission, remind them that higher priced products (50 cent toys) will generate more commission revenue per vend. Give them a reason to find vending toys appealing.

ska173 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Shepherdsflock, thanks for the advice. Believe it or not this is a charity location, I have had it for some time and had to refill the candy every two weeks (running one vendstar), I pitched this and they excited about it. I will revisit non candy periodically though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Looks great! as said ladels, sun shade and toy when ever possible. I would put panels in the back of all heads to keep the uniform, but thats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
