Newbie Saying Hello

[DT Vending]

Just A quick introduction of Me !!! Im Darren Tipples 32 from Cardiff South Wales. Iv been self employed since I left school within the entertainment industry and am getting tired of constantly not having any time at the weekends hence the reason at purchasing a few machines and looking at putting 100% in to a new venture.
Looking for any help / advice on how I can get some good sites and what fees I can expect to pay the sites etc.

Hello and welcome

Depends what you are looking at siting. If its sweet towers/Pringles the norm is 20% bulk sweets and toys normally 25%

HI Darren, what machines are you thinking of doing?

[DT Vending]

Hi Matt & Steve, Thanks for your responses. I am looking at the Vending towers sweets and pringles and Beaver / Lolly machines and any others that anyone can reccomend that have good profit returns on.

Hi Darren ,

Good luck with your new venture . As regards lolly machines the only decent machines I have used are the large electric lolly mines . The tall mechanical chupa lolly vendors are time consuming to load and the lollies can stick . The smaller version you can twist to select flavour which you load with a plastic tube are even worse . Consider vending toy capsules in your beavers as well as bulk candy as the mark up is good . Toys in general are good sellers either 95/65 mm globes or Tomy/Discapa type machines . Tattoo machines from Instance are good quality and the margins are very good . The more variety you have to offer your sites the better . Weekends off ?
To make a living vending is hard work as I am sure guys on the forum will confirm . All the best .

Regards

Steve

Also can someone give me an idea on what a decent site should bring in / month ? and how long I should leave it there to see if its going to work ?
