jay22 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) i got a lot of single head gumball machines out at kid friendly locations and i was thinking about converting some to doubles and adding bouncy balls at 50 cents each. never ran bouncy balls before... can they do well in a non gimmick gumball machine? i feel like they’d compliment the gumballs well, and the profit margin would be there... also would be really easy to maintain, just like gumballs. curious to hear your thoughts.

Mehehe Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I run all my BB's in normal oak/eagle machines. Gimmick machines just means more to break on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehehe Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Lol, I had one location that the owners 8 yo daughter collected BB's. She had to have bought 200+ before stopping, it was great. Some of it depends on whether its repeat traffic or new traffic, generally speaking. You could also swap it out for a mystery mix 1in capsules every 6 months or so. Depending on the machine is how tough it is to switch between the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
