candyman007 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 $138.25 / 6 Locations = Average $23 Per Month The Hair Place definitely needs replaced but the overall average seems to be on target. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurtsman Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Get hair replaced, get a toy into that pizza place fi possible, make sure you have good candy displays to help bring in the customers. The average is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanygames Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Get hair replaced, get a toy into that pizza place fi possible, make sure you have good candy displays to help bring in the customers. The average is reasonable. The Pizza place is more of a bar. I should have listed it as Bar instead of Pizza I think. One massive bar area, with lots of people that drink all night and watch TV and grab some candy I think. I think the pizza is mostly take out and more of an after thought. It's a very small place. I have the inside cling on candy stickers that one of the members makes and sells here on my machines. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hey who has the clingy kind of labels thats what I want? I bought some laminated ones from ebay that are nice but I still had to use tape and I don't like to do that if I can avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPVendCo. Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 He is good but must be busy I am on my 3rd week and have 1 out of 4 locations. what kind of location are you looking for? are you in a saturated area? are you trying to located difficult machines (spirals/stickers)? what kind of location did you get for the first one.

tooldini Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Doesn't seem to saturated to me and most locations he got for me within a week. I am going with some single head gumball and triples. Then I am going for toy locations. He has gotten for me 1 apartment, speedy print, freshstart restaurant, and Magic Wok. Now I will have to wait till Saturday if I am to get anymore since they only send them to me on Saturdays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb5580 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I just did my first collection from my very first ever KS location, very exciting . 1. national chain restaruant (starts with an "A" ) : 21 days $17.50 (.83 cents per day average) This is a single NW60 vending polarmint gum in the front lobby. Hope they don't kick me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb5580 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yeah, I am happy with this one Kelly. I am going to stick with the "restaurant and bars only" for a while to see if he keeps it up with the good locations. They seem to be right for my tab gum thing I've started with.

tooldini Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 thats a pretty good pull for 3 weeks.I bet it stays for a while since it is not a huge machine maybe it kinda blends in. I was gonna order a toy location or 2 but I think its best to wait for my 3 I am waiting on. Maybe my area is saturated it just seems like I see many places with out machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb5580 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yeah I am waiting on 2 locations right now too. I think they just got really busy here. My machine you are talking about does seem to blend in well so we'll see. In just the last 3 weeks they put a free newspaper/magazine rack kind of next to it. Don't know if that's good or bad but it does blend into the corner a little bit better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 My thinking is that may be good since some people are gonna stop to check out the newspapers and notice your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanygames Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 I just collected from two more KS locations: Locator: Kick Start Cost per location: about $51.99 ea.

tooldini Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Must be nice I'm still waiting on 3 locations since Nov, 23 makes me wonder if it will be possible in my area to reach my 100 machine goal. Those are some great pulls I did get a restaurant location thats doing really well also but not that good lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanygames Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 I collected from one more KS location. Crummy numbers on this one, so this one will be up for relocation in 2010. Locator: Kick Start Cost per location: about $51.99 ea. Platinum Package, Machines: Like new three head Bulk Candy 1. Chinese #2 30 days $7.25 .24 a day Steve Griswold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman007 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Chinese not doing well, what a shame! Maybe we can switch up the product mix to get some better results. Historically they do very well. Merry Christmas! Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanygames Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks Rob, So far only a few duds, most locations first month collections are good to awesome. I have MMP, SK and RP at that Chinese #2 location. This location I think is just super slow. I know it is dead most times and the shopping center has 75% out of business stores. I'll do another round of collections in late Jan 2010 and then we can figure out what 10% to replace for better performance.

In the front of house for a chinese place toys will generally do much better. If you could swap that machine for toys I'd expect your sales to triple. If not, then you know the location is a dud, but until you try toys it's hard to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanygames Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hi, I can try toys here. I think I am about the only person eating at this place. I have been going here for five years or so and I love it, but I am normally the only person at a table for lunch or dinner. The most I have even seen in here is two other tables with people. I have never seen any kids in here, except mine that I bring once in a while. I'm not even sure how they stay open. I have a two head NW S 60 that I can try in here with Zoo Mania and Bouncy balls. Next time I go to eat here I will swap it out with that. Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanygames Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 I collected from one more KS location today. Locator: Kick Start Cost per location: about $51.99 ea. Platinum Package, Machines: Like new three head Bulk Candy 1. Bar / Grill 27 days $44.50 $1.64 a day I still have one chicken place with an issue that Rob is working out. I have two other restaurants that denied placement, that need to be replaced. So 3 restaurant locations that I am still waiting on, but I am going to wait until mid - late Jan to have Rob get me these. I have two locations that did very low numbers Chinese #2 and a Hair location, I will do the 10% replacement on these two and two of my other lower spots in late Jan 2010 after I do one more collection from all my KS spots. All in all very good numbers. FYI: I bought the restaurant package for 11 locations and think it is worth it. I'll let everyone know how I do next month.
