AVEX is the next big vending show at NEC (its only on every 2 years) dates are 11th to 13th June see www.avexshow.co.uk

The only magazine that i seem to come across is www.auto-vending.co.uk but I only see it in print when I collect from shows.

Not sure what your product is but you are going to have a battle to vend at £2 - most run mechs which vend at a pound and I for one am not looking at changing all mine for some years!

hi
our product is a new machine not a replacement packaged product .the product will defo fetch 2 pound and will guarantee the customers feel value for money as the product is sold on the retail shelves for a bigger price.
i look forward to introducing it to you .i think it will work in conjunction with what u already have

[FlintVending]

already on retail shelves eh??
Where would that be then? Supermarkets or one local mini mart down the road?
why would you want to sell it cheaper in vending than retail as normally it is the other way round??

Is the "new" machine able to vend other products as well as your own and is it mechanical or electronic?
You seem to feel supremely confident about your new product and machine so why the hesitation in telling the forum what it is exactly?
Is this all part of the expectation "frenzy" you salespeople employ as we have seen things like this before and 9 times out of 10 the revelation of what the product is is ultimately dissapointing!
Heres hoping all this secrecy and bigging up of your product means it turns out to be a real winner??
Good luck with whatever it is by the way!

Ha nothing of the sort.im not a sales person per say I just know my products inside out.the only reason for not announcing what it is that until site tested I won't be able to claim its merits fully.technically this is advanced so until we have done 15000 vends iI won't be able to fully support the claims I will make when it can
I promise u will like it .3years of hard work and research say I'm not going to be one of the nine that disappoint.
I will however be asking u for honest pros and cons of the machine we ain't scared of feedback

[FlintVending]

OK..........
you dont mention the reason you sell it cheaper from vending machine than retail?
also, no mention of machine being mechanical or electronic although I would guess the latter as you have said it is advanced!
15000 vends testing it sounds excessive bordering insane, what is it a hydron collider lol??
no clue as to what (if any)retail outlets it is already avaliable from..........................your not giving much away, are you?

You Say u "aint scared of feedback" but you certainly are scared of answering questions, 15000 questions I could come up with and you cant answer three?

[Dan74uk]

Lol.r u a barrister in your spare time nigel

[Dan74uk]

Electrical.15000cos that's how we role
Buying power enables us to offer lower price to operator for consumable.our overheads are low very low so we are happy with less margin in exchange for volume sales

Can the next witness please take to the box

U actually don't realise how hard it is for me not being able to sell this but partnership agreements meen just a few weeks more
