Quick Ways to Increase Sales in Vending
Machines, Pt. 2
In part 2 of this article, we'll look at simple ways
to increase cash flow from your Bulk Vending machines. These tips
come from my personal management of over 1,500 machines across a 400+ mile
area. I have personally proved these tips work!
KEEP
YOUR MACHINES CLEAN. I cannot stress this enough. If I have
a choice as a customer, I'll buy from a clean machine as opposed to a
trashy and grimy looking machine (especially when considering my
kids).
WORK ON BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH EMPLOYEES AND
OWNERS. This doesn't take long. Greet them
immediately when you walk in to service your machines. Be warm and
friendly even if you don't feel like it. If they like you it will
influence which machine they buy from if you have competition in the
business. Honestly, I have found people will buy from your machine
not because they like the product so much but because they like
you. This is an important principle of
sales.
STUDY BOOKS ON INCREASING SALES. This
goes back to treating your machines like a business. Real businesses
have to focus on sales. Study how to make sales (get new accounts)
from people who have mastered the art of selling. It's not about the
product as much as learning how to present yourself coupled with the
product.
ADD MORE CHOICES TO EXISTING
ACCOUNTS. This means adding additional machines where you
already have a gumball or candy machine. Don't forget to consider
adding toys as an option besides candy and gumballs. Bouncy ball can
be a cheap alternative at around 4-5 cents per vend for the cheaper
general mix balls.
Hope this helps
you prosper in your business this
year.
