Topic: Honor Boxes
|
We got involved with honor boxes in a strange way.
We already had a vending route with snack/soda/coffee machines. Some of our snack machines were the small mechanical 11 selection type located in small offices. Some of these locations asked for more variety. Here was our problem. The location was too small to warrant a full size snack machine, but the small snack machines weren't serving our customers needs. We decided to make our own honor boxes and place them on top of the snack machines. We filled these honor boxes with a large assortment of alternative snacks. Wow! In our good locations the volume more than tripled. Unfortunately, in a few locations the theft was so high that we were forced to remove the machines. The cost of these honor boxes was basically zero (except for our time to make them). Over the next few years we would put one or two honor boxes into new smaller locations. Some turned out to be extremely profitable.
When your equipment cost is zero, and you find an honest location, you can't help but make money with honor boxes.

Hi Uncle Rob!
I wanted to let you know I really enjoyed the information in your book. It was very helpful and easy to understand. I am just getting into vending and I almost bought one those "business opportunities" the only reason I didn't is because I refused to go into debt for something I did not have to. They would not sell me one machine they wanted to sell me at least 10 "so I would be profitable."
Ha!
Its not profitable or smart to pay high interest rates.
The resources you gave where very helpful and I really appreciate you sharing your experience with me. I love to learn from other peoples mistakes so I can make new and inventive mistakes of my own :-) lol
Any way I just wanted to tell you I did not have any problems downloading and reading your information. It was easy and it was great!
Thanks Again,

Today's Vending Business Tip
Don't limit your snack machines products to just snacks!
We did well with putting "other" products in based on taking a broader look at the location. For example, toothbrushes (hotel), laundry soap (trucking company), baseball cards (apartment complex), and other personal toiletries. Be creative!
