QuikVend Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Well I kicked the idea of honor boxes around long enough to find a great deal. Just picked up 50 Candy for a Cause boxes, 8 on location earning $100/mo., a couple boxes of candy and some other items (magnets, pens etc). Only $300 for all of it. All the boxes are labeled 50 cents or 3 for $1. What are some of you selling at those prices? The candy that he's using now is the cheap mix you might see for Halloween (Nerds, bite sized candy,etc) and I think 3 of those for $1 is a bit of a rip-off.

bbeckl Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 My personal opinion is this : if they are on location, earning $12.50 a month average with the cheaper candy (its not that cheap when you break it down), id leave it, and watch the loss. Id guess if the previous owner is using a lower priced item at these locations, there may be some high loss. My best locations are always with yorks. if there is higher loss, i go to the mini candy bar mix. if the loss keeps getting worse, i use a REALLY cheap candy (like .02 per). if that doesnt work, and sometimes it gets worse the cheaper you go lol, i go back to yorks, and add a sign that says "please remember to pay." sounds silly, but it works.

Probably should order a few things to make it worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zjtaylor Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Do you target different locations for your honor boxes than your bulk machines? Or include honor boxes in your bulk pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I just bought the boxes and 8 of them were already placed. I've thought about placing a few in breakrooms where I already have a bulk machine. If I do, I'll go with just mints or blue pops,just to try to avoid eating into my bulk sales.
