Gulp-It! Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Estimating revenue of potential accounts is one of the most important skills for a vending operator. Let's work on our skills. Provided your estimated annual revenue for the following account and your reasoning: - 100 people - 1 9-select soda machine in break room - 1 5-wide snack machine in break room - 10% travel - 60% women - 80% between 30 and 50 years old - white collar - 1 convience store within 1/2 mile - numerous restaurants within 1 mile - prices: can soda 65 cents, crackers 65 cents, lss chip 75 cents, candy 80 cents, pastry 85 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 White collar 100 employees...estimate about $150 a week total. If you are lucky....I am using 27 years experience.... Blue Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fronk327 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Is that $150 the gross sale amount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Yes...Gross. White collar businesses just do not use the machines very much unless you have a software company with a lot of young people. If it is your normal offices setting with age ranges from 25 to 60, vending is just not that strong. If you have 50 young people doing computer work, telemarketing or similar jobs it the sales are very very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 It's even better if the location will subsidize the drinks so the employees only have to pay .25 a can Other than that I would concur with Bev's estimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendman0729 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 it's funny mission vending you mension that about the .25 a can...............yes wow it helps tremendously..............i have a location with 40+ employees with a big coke machine which sells drinks for .25.................these people drink this stuff like its water...............many employees buy drinks multiple times in a day.................my gross sales are rediculous...............i average $50/week at .25...............if priced at .75 a can, then thats $600 gross/month................however for me this stinks because these machines are 3rd party and coke makes me buy cases(24pack) for $10................i hardly make anything................i will be kicking out coke as soon as i can didn't mean to go off topic but any location with .25 drinks is going to do the unimaginable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Notice I said SUBSIDIZE. The employees pay .25 but I also bill th location another .40 per can on a monthly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
