Snack and Beverage Vending Tips

A Planet Antares snack and beverage vending business can be very profitable if your vending machines are well maintained and you are using the right vending program. Below are some few tips that you can use to make your vending business more profitable.

• Spread out your route so that it can bring up your sales average. The more selections that you place in your Planet Antares vending machines, the more the profits that the location will bring in.
• Come up with great ideas of how to avoid paying a percentage of your profits to the location owner. You can make them an offer of free advertising of their business on your other vending machines in other locations. If the locations owner still wants a commission, you can mark your sale price up to cover the commission. This will mean that rather than selling a coke for 50 cents, you should sell it at 55 cents, in order to cover a 10% commission.
• If it is possible, try to vend your sodas for 50 cents and your chips for the same amount. The customers will then be inclined to spend the whole dollar in your Planet Antares vending machine.
• Kids love Mountain Dew, which would make it a money making “sleeper.” Try to always have in your vending machine.
• 24 oz bottles usually cost you much less than 20 oz bottles.
• Try using a toy arrow to pull canned drinks faster from the lanes of a vending machine.
• Using only quarters in your bill changer will only get the whole dollar fed back into your vending machine. A 60 cents candy bar will require a dime, but your quarter’s only change will only be able to buy a soda or chips. Maximize the profits of your Planet Antares vending business whenever it is possible.
• A well maintained vending machine will be used more often than a neglected one. Service your vending machine on a regular basis and change slow moving products to alternatives whenever it is required.
• Change the days of collecting money from your vending machines, because if there is someone that has noticed that has noticed that you collect on one particular day, they can easily rob you of your hard earned money.
• Service the vending machine by yourself until the time that you are comfortable with hiring someone to help you out.
• An attractive looking vending machine will bring in more revenue, since it will have the ability to grab the attention of potential customers.
