Were to spend the money...

Post by Big Chris »

If you had an unlimited amount of money available what vending machines would you buy? Sweets, toy machines, cranes, Pringles or something else....

What I meant was which machines should I be putting my money into?

Are more towers the way to go or good toy machines or are children's rides the top earners.

Don't get me wrong I actually love been in vending, but do I need to be buying a more diverse range of machinery? Or do I keep buying towers? I'm still really very small in terms of what I have.

Vending is all about location. Get into a shopping mall start with bulks, they're the cheapest, good margins and can do toys/snacks. This is the easiest way to start. Put in your towers in followed by pringles, these will do good turnover & reasonable profit, and still quite cheap to buy. Get your bouly in for 90mm capsules, good turnover & best for profit(for stocked items) although can be expensive if buying new. Next locate your Wonders/F2s with 50/65mm capsules with branded items, best for turnover ok for profit. Now move onto kiddy rides, most expensive to buy but best on profit. Build up your flock untill you have 100 of each type. This will enable you bulk purchase stock. The beauty about toys is high capacity/low maintenance 6/8 weeks between refils. with the same available cash I'd do the same again except I'd knlw better next time.
