AngryChris Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I see sams club has those gatoraid machines again. 3500.00 and they give you 1500.00 in product. nice watch it only take one size bottle thou From what I have seen, there are a few catches with this. First of all, the $1500 should be the retail value. Last I checked, it was based off of something like $1.50/bottle... so $1500 = 1000 bottles or roughly 36 cases ( I think they come in 28 packs). Also, you have to order all of it within a certain time period... like 6 months. Assuming you bought all 36 cases now, you would need to sell all 36 cases within maybe 10 months... so you need to sell almost 4 cases per month. This is definitely possible, but probably not out of a combo machine (which is where the deal normally comes from). Furthermore, at $1.50, your sales might not be great. Selling the bottles for $1 would probably enable you to sell it a lot faster and prevent expired product, but now you've potentially reduced your "$1500 in free product" down to $1,000 in free product. In the end, it's not a bad deal IF you can go through ALL of that gatorade within a reasonable timeframe but I have never found myself wanting to buy one of those machines simply to get free gatorade. I probably sell 3 cases of gatorade a year. I actually get it at grocery stores in 8-packs because buying it by the case is generally not a good idea.

Yep, I have the same problem with Gatorade - not a real hot seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendman0729 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have a construction warehouse location that's not climate controlled With 50-60 employees during the summer, its one of my best sellers. I can sell 2 cases/month of the lime flavor. Does anyone know which flavor out of red, orange and lime typically sells the best? I am going to put in the other 2 as well to see how the others do there. Eatmorejunk, you can increase your price to $1.50 now, $1.25 was good around 2010. Hustlin, did you mean 10-15 bottles or cases? I guess you mean cases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendman0729 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Thanks Golfdogs and cvending Haha orange yeah comes last Actually I personally think orange tastes the best but o well. Yeah I will have to try the blue ones next. As far as the OP's original post, I honestly don't think it's that great of a deal. Very few accounts can provide high enough sales to have special select machines in there such as Red Bull and Gatorade machines. I personally would not put anything in these machines anyways other then what's on the display. I see Red Bull machines being sold cheap all the time.

moondog Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I see coke in Pepsi branded machines Pepsi in Gatorade machines etc all the time I bought an account once with a Pepsi machine but no Pepsi in it. I later added the Pepsi and it's one of the best sellers there. You never know until you try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendman0729 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Selling different products in a branded machine is alright. What I don't like is when there are machines such as Snapple and there's not a single Snapple in it. I just feel like its misadvertising. Someone might see the machine and say "hey I definitely want a Snapple", but if it's not in there then that person was just fooled into going to the machine. I don't know it's probably not a big deal, but I personally can care less for buying these machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bvending Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Gatorade outsells Powerade for us too. We keep blue and red in stock. Have grape, lemon lime and orange specially for a couple of accounts. But overall its one of the slowest selling drinks we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
