Advice please

Post by Big Chris »

Could anyone advise me on this. I have a site tht I have a northwestern 20p toy machine. It's vending a 20p lucky dip. I think it looks crap. Owner like a toy machine but says needs to stop at 20p. Shud I go with a superette the way to go? More option for kids, hopefully more sales per kid. Or is there a better option?

All help appreciated

No real money in 20p stuff now and you have to look at fuel costs closely.
If its the only machine you have in the premises and is more than 10 miles from your base, then I guarantee your not making a penny.
resite it, sell it if this the case. simples!

I make good money from 20p mcs but I site them alongside my £1 mcs or I have 5 or 6 heads on stand and go to them ones every 6-7 wks to collect £70-80.

I find the 20p stuff is great even better if you have a bouley selling toys for a quid next to it. Add a pringles and mini can tower great.

Nige i would imagine your demographic area is well different to mine (more spead out) Im sure though if you only put a 20p machines in a site say with a tower machine you couldnt loose????
