Welcome Jim, good luck, are you having to travel for miles between sites?

[Jim Campbell]

No I have been doing it nearly 4 years now, but with the current situation financially I think I will have to get a job which will be interesting.

Hi Jim,

Well done on finding the forum is full of great help and advice

you have been vending quite a while I'm suprised you havnt left Snack a can until now!!! I don't know how anyone can make any money using their model

What's your average sales per week per machine on 100 machines?

Well its up and down every week much the same as everyone else I have a turnover of about £3500 a month which has steadily decreased over time to about £2500. I think there are pros and cons with every business model no matter what company you go with, it's up to yourself to work out the best way to suit you. I would really like to expand but there's not enough good sites, if you go down the charity route people think its a con and you're up against the charity boxes.

no one wants Pringles, I can get the cheap on offer ones as my wife works in Booker and even with the staff discount.
I asked some of the best sites and no one wants a machine!!!

you have to sell it to them, ask how much they make on a bag of crisps, then tell them you can pay them 20p, maybe 25p if you get discount, tell them it takes the queues away from the bar leaving it free for those that want beer etc#

Hi Jim

Purley to satisfy my curiosity and because we get little feedback about Snack a can on here, what were they like to work with? I came close to signing up with them many years ago so am curious.

Pringles wise I would tend to agree they can be tricky to site and are getting to the point where the profits not in them, so you may be better going down the Toys route?

Cheers JOn
