We got into gumball vending machines at the tail end of our vending business. After establishing our business with larger soda/snack/coffee machines we then expanded into the gumball vending machines.
Whenever you can buy product for a couple of and sell it for twenty five cents you should make some serious money! We found it much easier to place these smaller machines (we put one or two in most of our larger locations). You can use the charity stickers or pay a commission to a location. Beware some locations asked for 50%. Warning, if you overpay for your gumball vending machines (like most new unsuspecting vendors) you will probably never make money. You usually need a lot of gumball machines to be really profitable, but you can build your business as slowly as you like, (or as quickly).

Find a good source of inexpensive machines and learn to locate them yourself. Learn the proper knowledge and business skills and you are likely to make good money with gumball vending machines.

Testimonial I wanted to thank you for the great information in your e-book. I read it as soon as I received it. I am sure you get many of these types of letters, but I though it wouldn't hurt for you to hear one more story. I was very seriously considering buying one of the packages you spoke about, machines, location services, product etc. I was actually in the process of rounding up the money. They wanted all the money up front, which actually made me uncomfortable, no 50% down and 50% upon receipt. So the rest goes without saying. I also zeroed in on the locating company section of your book. I was so excited to here they would be doing the locating. Silly me, I had envisioned a professional high end company with talented marketing and sales teams calling all there wonderful leads placing my machines in the best of the best locations because they had market research and demographic info on the communities businesses, educational institutions, hospitals, factories etc. and that they had working relationships with them. Thank you, Thank you! So now if I still decide to proceed with this venture I would be going into it with my eyes wide open. Not sure I want to do it at this point. Thank you for saving me from a potential mistake...they do not have any of my money or contracts from me. Now if I choose to do this I have some good information and directions as a result of your book. $20 was well worth it! Thank you so much, Christine Donohue ..(email on file)
