A new Snack A Can franchisee is very active in one of the areas that I operate.
Hes peppering some of my existing sites that have tubz vending stock with his Snack A Can machines.
I take a fairly balanced and pragmatic viewpoint that if that is what the landlord wants, who am I too argue?
I pointed out that the recently installed Snack A Can tower was watering sales down from my machine and whilst it is very noble of him to give too charity via said Snack A Can tower, it was infact only 5p per sale benefitting the good cause.
Too my surprise, he said he was fully aware that it was only 5% but said that was better than nothing and the Snack A Can stock was far superior to the "cheap looking stock" in my machine.
He also said he wasnt bothered that he recieved 20p a sale from my machine and could take it out if I wanted as he did not feel the tubz vending brands project the quality sweets image as well as the Snack A Can branded containers.
Seeing the towers side by side, I must admit it is a far point as it seems that Snack A Can have upped there game somewhat with there packaging looking sharp and brighter than I remember with a lot of brand names now.
All this branded stuuf in the Snack A Can tower must be costing the franchisee a pretty penny but I guess with only 5% commission to pay he makes the same Net Profit that I do with the competative prices I finally managed to get from tubz vending.
so there you have it!
according to the landlord the new Snack A Can containers are not jamming like they used to when I bought them!
Is it time to consider a switch back to Snack A Can stock after 5 years of using tubz vending / Hurleys?
I have always thought that the composite, DONE CORRECTLY, had the edge on the clear containers for looking more professional.
What do you all think??
Barbara Fellowes need not respond LOL!
