How To Find Strong Vending Machine Locations - My Vending Machine Location Secret Revealed!
October 18th, 2008 by admin
Here is a Excellent question. What vending locations give the best results?
Obviously there are some of the big hitter ones, like the public areas where – Schools, recreation centers, places like that. Arenas where people seem to frequent the most.
Any kind of business that has a continuous stream of traffic going in, but those are also harder to get and find.
I have constantly found that local businesses like offices and factories are Excellent locations. Those are places that I have seen consistent results with.
It does vary and it hinges on your make up of your people at your location.
When you are prospecting a location you should take a look at a few things. First you should take a walk around the building to see how many cars are in the parking lot. This should give you an idea of how many employees work there. Also try and find out if the company had already had a vending service on their premises and if so what was the reason for termination of the vending service?

I constantly do this because I want to know if I am going to be setting up vending machines at a location that has good possibility or is it going to be a dud location and not make me any profit.
I am all for servicing local businesses in myarea but at the end of the day I have to turn a profit at each location.
So if I don’t then I will keep looking for other locations for thatpiece of equipment until it makes me a profit. Another thing to think about when looking at a potentiallocation is look at the make up of thestaff that work there. Are the staff in the age group of 21 to 35?
You could sell a lot more soda and chips there. When you get into the staff members that at a location that are into say their 40’s and 50’s, some of them are searching for more healthy options of products. This is because the older crowds are more health conscious.
I have always found that the younger crowds buy the most snacks. For the most part, the higher traffic locations are ones where there is more walk through traffic.
Say, for example like a trucking company where truckers are coming in and out.
Also let’s look at inside versus outside locations.
Inside locations in my personal point of view are the best. I have had a few of outside locations in the past at a few storage
facilities.
There was time, I made good profit there because there werea lot of people coming in and out of there all the time renting their trucks and getting storage, but because it was outside, I also opened up myself to the threat of vandalism.
Yes, I had a consistent run for a while, but then in time the machine got busted in to. I
reconditioned and kept it going and then they busted in to it again.
One even had a security fence and security cameras and they still did it. I have always found inside locations, like factories and offices to be the best.
