Beer980 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 My first rack finally left my house for it's new home. It is now located in a Hungry Howies Pizza place. For those that don't have them it is mostly a delivery place but this one does a lot of take out and has some dine in customers. It is located in a large plaza right off the busiest highway in our city with 25,000+ cars a day traffic on it. I already had a 1-800 triple doing a decent take and now this 6 way Northern Beaver rack to add to it.
nepavend Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Nice Beer! Congrats on your first rack setup located!
nam Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Beer, Nice looking rack! Let me know when all those quarters start rolling in so I can borrow some money. nam
vendingdelaltiplano Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 That rack looks pretty good. Now I know that Beaver has good machines. This is the image of my little lady. She has mean good income to my business. Congratulations Beer980!!! Abdón
G-man422 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Great looking rack Beer. Hungrie Howies is really good. I'm sure it will do well.
Medford Jeff Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Well done! Keep us posted on how your first pull turns out! Jeff
Beer980 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 Wanna know the obscene part, it is the commission. I am paying 10% to the owners fiance so she can use it for extra shopping money. Plus I still have the 1-800 on the other side of the lobby. Now I got my eye on a Ice Cream shop that is opening soon to place that tattoo machine. Thanks for all the comments.
vendingdelaltiplano Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Wow, great job Beer980. 10 % here would be a commission no one of my locators would accept. Hahaha:D I need to learn of you how to make those deals.
nepavend Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Awesome, if that rack blows out dont be afraid to stick the tattoo/sticker in that location!
Beer980 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 That head up on the right is about 1/3 full of a mix from two heads of the previous owners choice. I just combined the to heads and put both display cards in it to blow them out. The head on the left is packed full and I still have enough to refill it to the top again of product that came with it. I made the mystery mix sign for the lower left and mixed all three small heads in a mystery mix to blow those leftovers all out. I printed up the Mystery Mix part on my printer and got out our scrapbooking letters & ink pads. I lettered the three differnt items on the display card as creative as I could get. So the top middle is the I-Sweaters I picked out for the tween and adult crowd target. The bottom middle is Lady Fingers, nail tattoos for little girls, and superballs on the right. Man 250 superballs don't hardly fill that machine and I will see how they go this first week before I order any more to bulk it up. Maybe people will figure they are hot being so much lower then the rest of the items. In the end I will need another 1" and 2" real soon for those two head heads that are not very full. Then down the line I will have to find something for that left head up top. If I can manage to sell most of the product that came with the machine then I should get close to $300 and I only paid $150 for the rack.
kai1836 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Keeping inventory in those racks can be expensive. I have gone through several different toys in one and still can't get things moving. I have several cases of 2" toys just sitting here that I don't know what to do with. Don't worry about your bouncy balls though you'll be shocked how many of them you'll sell. I'm not sure people don't eat them!
Beer980 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 You would think that the balls would sell but I guess I need some proof. Shipping cost is almost as much as the balls. I would like it to look fuller and may get a differnt mix to blend in to make it more interesting. Picking the right product does seem to be a challenge. For the life of me I can't see why the Zoo Mania has sold that many. I just can't seem to picture it selling in my machine. I may have to break down and order a bag of the new 2" size Zoo Mania.
antoniocinisi Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I may have to break down and order a bag of the new 2" size Zoo Mania.you can do that but you`d have to wait a month.I tried to get a bag this week.
Beer980 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 Then that might be a good thing. If I order it now it should be here when it runs out. So the 2" are just as hot as the 1" size have been?
