nippy31 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 We just checked one of our locations. We've been there since Sept 5 and to date it has brought in $70.00. I wish all of our machines could do that. On our first check of one of our routes we averaged $9.75 a machine per month. I hope that was just a fluke. I'll know more in a few weeks when we check them again. Nin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Nin, Thats great! Give us the details... Location type, product(s) offered and machine type. Also, make sure you give us a report in member PLUS. We now have 11 operators reporting. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homie123 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 thats an incredible location. before i started 6 yrs ago i asked an experienced person who worked routes for a national company. he told me as far as candy and gum they would average $12.00 per 6 weeks. i thought right away i should find a better way to average more. i made a lot of mistakes along the way but i decided to vend gum, bulk toys 1 and 2 inch caps, super balls 27 mm and 49 mm, and flat products like stickers and tattoos. i vend little or no candy and as far as gum i only vend 950 count gum balls. my average per stop is around $300 dollars. i have 33 accounts and service some on a 4 week basis, some on a 6 week basis, some on 8 weeks and a few on a 12 week basis. i gross over $70,000.00 for the last 2 yrs. it took me 4 yrs to be cash flow positive and i only work on route each saturday. so i work 2 days a week and gross over 70,000.00. i consider myself very fortunate and give God all the glory. i am currently targeting sports bars with NFL AND COLLEGE football products. i went out today for one hour and called on three locations. i installed the machine in the third account. it wasnt my first choice but its a good one.

nippy31 Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Cool homie!!! I'm not going to share the type of location yet, since there are 2 other Phoenix operators here too. I have 2 vendstars and a chocolut nugget machine there> I wish all my locatiosn were like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsurvz Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hey, I don't operate in Phoenix. I'm in Charlotte..... Any chance you'd be willing to share the location type with someone on the other side of the country????? That is awesome!!!! I would love to line up something like that although we did get $40.00 + in two days at our fourth of july event... That was great! We don't have events like that every day though.

CraigMc Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Note to self... Look for locations that have 2 Vendstars and a choco nugget I too have a plastic fantasic in one of my best locations. I have been in transportation for 36 years. This location is a transportation company that fired me after 26 years of service. Lesson: Never burn any bridges. I have machines in many terminals and truck rental locations. Those have served me well. We all look for high traffic count locations. That's a given. However you need to think outside the box. Look at places you have contacts with from your day job or former career field. Never be afraid to ask for a favor ! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigMc Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Thanks for the welcome guys ! I hope to be a good participant here. I was a moderator on the old VendingTalk before it shut down. That was a shame. There was alot of good advice shared between the members. I really like the layout of this forum. Nice job ! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Thanks Craig, The closure of VT is the biggest reason why VENDiscuss is in existence. I consider it to be a distant cousin and that makes you family! Welcome home! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigMc Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Well..... VT was once a good forum. Many, many good and knowledable people. Andre managed to alienate many of them with his handking of the forum. I like your forum ! This is what VT could have been. I think your doing it right here.
