Topic: Vending Locator

I am often emailed and ask to recommend a vending locator. I can't!
In all the years we worked full time in vending, and all the vending conventions we attended we never met a single successful vendor who was happy with ANY vending locator. It seems that the great majority of the vending locator companies are not all that ethical. They pay their transient salespeople very poorly and they work on a commission basis. These locators usually just about anything to convince a location to place a machine. We have even heard stories of vending locators paying a secretary $5 and saying that it's okay to kick the vendor out in 31 days. You become the unsuspecting victim of these unethical salespeople.
So when asked to suggest a vending locator I think I'll pass. Being able to locate machines is one of the most important parts of building a successful vending business. Learn to do it yourself. Once you start you'll realize it really isn't as hard as you though. Become your own vending locator!

Dear Uncle....
I having been in an unrelated service business (signs) for 30 years, I enjoy working for myself. Last week, I stumbled onto an opportunity to buy 20 wall mounted pop machnes, a couple of change machines and a snack machine, all on local locations and making money. I had no way to estimate the value without reading your information. I feel much better about my potential deal and never even thought of growing the business until I read about (*&%^*&^5*&%*^$#@).
Thank you for your information.
Respctfully,

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!
