Bulk sweets versus sweet towers?

[Vend And Glow]

Hi everyone

Doing lots of research at the moment so sorry for all the newbie questions!

Generally want to know the difference between the bulk sweet vendors like the Beavers and the sweet towers.

I obviously know the size difference and packaging etc but which type of vending gives the best margin, do you operate bulk and towers in the same venues or is one type of machine better in different types of venues? what are the pro's and cons of each vendor?

Been looking on Ebay at the Beavers but seem quite pricey (50-80 quid)

Seen a few towers on Ebay too but i really have no idea which makes they are as they all look pretty much the same.

Help and advice appreciated.

Thanks

Lee

That's good to hear as i was thinking the same thing!

You get the 20p's and the £1's!

Hi, I operate both types of mcs alongside each other where I can in the same site, that way if parents got couple of kids and think £1 each is too much they can give the kids couple 20ps each so works out to 80p which is more affordable. Bulk vending mcs can be more profitable depending on what products you are selling, also bulks are less maintenance as they have bigger capacity. Beaver mcs are best bulk mcs on market hence the higher price but they are very reliable and rarely cause a problem, clenporte is the best tower mc on market likewise don't cause many problems. Hope I have answered your queries?
