We got into the gumball machine business differently than most. After establishing our business with larger soda/snack/coffee machines we then expanded into the gumball machine business.

Whenever you can buy product for 2-3 cents and sell it for 25 cents you can make money! We found it much easier to place these smaller machines. You can use the charity stickers or pay a commission to a location. Beware some locations asked for 50%. Both charity and commissions work well in the gumball machine business. If you can find inexpensive machines you will be profitable. If you overpay for machines (like most new vendors) you will probably never make really good money.

You need a lot of machines for a very successful gumball machine business, but you can build it slowly over time. If you can find inexpensive machines and locate them yourself there is real money in the gumball machine business.
