How To Get Free Vending Machines

Left Behind- Never To Return Again

You will have to determine in your own conscience what this really means. However, there are lots of people that spend money on vending machines and want to turn a profit so they work hard and get a few vending machines setup and running. Then for some reason they cant keep a schedule or they cant fix a machine that is broken or they feel awkward returning to a location after leaving them there for months and months. Then the store owner wants them out and he doesn’t have the equipment to move them.  All he does is respond to a craigslist listing like this one and says, “hey man when can you come?” The guy says, ” I will be there in an hour.” Botta Boom Botta Bing, you have a new machine. 

Be Careful With This Approach

the store owner has lied about the time the machine has been forgotten their could be some legal repercussions. Believe me I know that some people leave machines behind like this just waiting for someone to move or steal the machine and then boom. The next day the machine owner walks in with a bill to the store owner for the machine theft. If unpaid will go to small claims and yada yada

How To Move Up In The World

Once you begin to see the coin’s filling up that coin bag of yours it is only natural to add more accounts to your gumball machine route. At first you are a bit skeptical on whether or not the vending business is going to work. It is the little milestones that get you really amped to keep vending. My first vending machine location was a candy crane machine. I placed it in the Broadway Discount center in Santa Maria California and boy was I in for a surprise. I let the machine soak for a six week service cycle and when I showed up to collect my jaw hit the floor. The machine was nearly empty. Kids were scraping the bottom of the crane for candy. I remember carrying the coin bucket out to my Isuzu Trooper to count the coin. My jaw hit the floor again. First location and first service I collected over $500 bucks in coin. To say the least I was addicted and had 15 locations more to visit.

Get A Feeler Machine

What is a feeler machine you ask? A feeler machine is what I call a low end vending machine that is small and super easy to place because it is small. I have 20 of these machines and some are setup for bulk toys and sticker and others are just bulk candy like gumballs. These machines are almost always on a single pipe stand. These machines are great and they do fluctuate in numbers and I will tell you why in a bit.

“Show Me The Money”, Jerry Maguire

Now what you do next is look for the money. Look for vending machine locations that bring in $60 dollars or more in revenue. The best thing to do when you find one of these machines is simply talk the location into more equipment. The more equipment the more money you generate. The feeler machine may live the rest of its life in that location. When you add equipment to the feeler location it is time to expand by finding another cheap feeler machine from craigslist or ebay.

I will post more on the subject tomorrow.

3 Steps For Building a Gumball Route In Saturated Vending Territory

 Lets Break It Down Na ( Like SNL’s Simma Donna)

There are just some parts of the world that are so caked with vending machines you would never think there is any room for you in this type of market. Please do not get discouraged because that isn’t entirely true. However, before getting all entrepreneurial and start spending your hard earned cash please remember to do one thing. Research the area you plan to setup your vending machines. A few questions you should start out with are:

Are there any machines in my area at all?

Are there lots of machines in my area?

What Type of machines are in my area? Bulk racks? Triple Vend Candy machines? Three column sticker machines or spiral gumball machines?

These are the questions that you need to answer before you buy your vending machines because answers to the aforementioned questions may dictate your entry level machines to buy.

Tons of Spiral Gumball Machines

If there is a big bulk vending competitor in your area that is running hundreds upon hundreds of spiral gumball machines you noticed while performing your market research you can bet there is little room for someone else and there spiral gumball machines. Please do not get discouraged. Your best bet is to find a machine not in those locations and fill the empty spot with it.

Hit Them Were They Ain’t

With lots of spiral gumball machines in place in your area that means you should lean towards purchasing a 2” capsule machine or sticker machine to start out. Get it? Be sure to, “hit’em were they aint by offering a bouncy ball pinball machine, a sticker machine, or a weight scale.  After doing this research your entry into the bulk vending world may be a little different then you imagined but it will make you successful.

This is really one of the big reasons those packages for $50,000 dollars do not work. They do not take into account the type of equipment you may be competing with in the field. If that means building your bulk vending route 1 machine and 1 location at a time because of competition in your area. This is really one of the biggest reasons why we should all be locating our vending equipment ourselves.  We need to know this business inside and out. Happy Vending.
