What does it take to find a decent Location for your Vending Machines?

There are lots of locations- locations are a dime a dozen, and most places would welcome vending machines- but that's not the issue. The problem is finding locations that actually turn you a profit. If you have an electrical snack / soda combo sitting in a salon with 3 employees on a diet and 10 lady customers a day, you won't make enough money to justify having it there.

All too often that's exactly what you end up with- especially if you got your machines from some business opportunity company that included a "locating service" in their giant price tag. There are some good locators out there, but the majority of them are just going to open a phone book to the business section and start making cold calls, asking people if they want vending machines for free in their business. Often they don't even bother to speak to a manager- then you go to move your machine in, and the manager tells you to take a hike.

It can also be a little more difficult to get those prime locations with plenty of employees on several shifts (like car factories and government contract facilities). Those places usually have security, and aren't too keen on somebody they may see as a solicitor. That's why big time vendors like Coca-Cola can get their corporate foot in the door so easily. Wouldn't it be great if more larger locations who needed vending services would seek out individual vending machine operators like you, instead of just running straight to the big wigs?

Actually, that can and does happen every day with 4Vendingtips.com. Locations in need of a vendor actually seek THEM out- and if you happen to be smart enough to have signed up as a vendor in their database, then you can be automatically alerted to all those great locations- for FREE. You don't pay any kind of fee unless the location is secure, and you get to actually meet with the location before you decide! As if that weren't enough, you'll know going in what kind of traffic the place has, how far away from you it is, blue or white collar, etc. Check it out, you just can't afford not to be on their nationwide vendor list.

Vending is the perfect cash business. There are no bad checks, credit risks, accounts receivables or other collection problems. Vending is the largest cash business in the world. When your vending machines are placed correctly they are paid for in a matter of months, not several years like most businesses.
