Determined Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Your competitor already has a machine placed there??? Is it really worth it??? What have your experiences been??? Thanks for any feedback Kasey!!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Determined Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 I continue to pass up places that already have machines even when they give me the okay. I can't see competing for $10-$30/ month. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I only have one machine where there's competition. It's a triple candy, and there's a 4 head vendesign candy right next to it. They also have a free water and free popcorn dispenser there and it's a lube and tune kinda place. All that being said, I still collect my usual 30-50 per 8 week cycle. I personally look at it like this: I either make money fast, make money slow, or don't make money. Either way I'd never know if I don't at least give it a shot lol.

zjtaylor Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Try it, but make sure you stand out from the competition. I currently have one location like this. There are about 4 other vendors there. I'm doing a single head with M&Ms, for some reason no one else was doing them. I used the newest looking machine I had at the time and I always make sure it's clean. I'm going to see how it performs for the next month or two, then I may even expand it to a double head and do an interesting flavor of gumball since the other guys just have the generic mix and fruit shapes.

tevans62 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Yeah, you have to give it a shot. I have my only one next to a triple vend and big gumball machine. Of course mine is a flat vend, so no competition really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Determined Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 I placed a machine directly next to my competitors today. This is the second location that I share with them but the first that I'm right next to them. I believe they have a huge route! I put in some a single vending skittles. There selling gumballs 2 for.25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotthead Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 What is wrong with people selling gumballs 2 for a quarter? I was fine buying them for a quarter each over 20 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
