amc-vending Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have ordered some good charity candy locations from kickstart in the past but I am wanting to place some toy machines out. Has anyone ever ordered a toy location from Kickstart If so - how did they do ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have ordered some good charity candy locations from kickstart in the past but I am wanting to place some toy machines out. Has anyone ever ordered a toy location from Kickstart If so - how did they do ?? I ordered toy locations from KSL and wasn't happy with the result. The majority of locations they found were not really different from what I would get if I had just ordered candy locations instead...yet they charge you a lot more for toys than what you pay for a single or double location. Frankly, if you are looking specifically for toy locations and only toy locations, I don't know that ANY phone locator is a good choice. If at all possible, because what you want is very specific, I recommend you locate the toy locations yourself. Even if you only have time to locate for yourself occasionally and even if you locate by phone like KSL would, at least you will suffer less wasted time delivering machines to locations that are not child-friendly. You live in your town and know area businesses better than a locator calling from out-of-state does. Therefore, you have the advantage of really knowing whether or not the business you are contacting is child-friendly. A locator calling from our of town will send you to steakhouses with coat-and-tie requirements, wine bars, and upscale bistros...all because they fall in the "restaurant" category. But, these places rarely see children and usually make for crappy toy locations in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEREMYTINA Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have ordered some good charity candy locations from kickstart in the past but I am wanting to place some toy machines out. Has anyone ever ordered a toy location from Kickstart If so - how did they do ?? We have ordered toy locations from KS, and they have been more difficult to get placed, but the locations have been good. Some of the people expected candy, and some of the leads for locations weren't really good places, but they can't see that over the phone, so all in all, they get a thumbs up. After I get the last location from my current order, I will order again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGranger Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have ordered toy from both KS and Eddie, it's hard to place. They do a great job both, but it's difficult. I am looking into double head locations now for the future and after that is established maybe adding the toys later on. That said, I'm happy with the one toy location that has been found.

Jax Snacks Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Consider the restaurant only option if you want toy locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amc-vending Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Jeremytina - I'm just trying to get racks located - don't care if thread was hijacked lol If he works out with some good locations - I will be placing more racks each month using him and I'm sure other people here would use him also - I am still waiting on the location - he said he had several locations intertested but waiting on final approval You can refuse the location from what I understand. He also locates soda / snack machines also - with reasonable pricing on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman007 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hey Ya'll! I see some confusion in this topic, Kick Start is up and doing well. My dad passed away in March and it was difficult but I've got a great team that held the ranks while I was away.
