Re: face masks

Post by Bert »

Well I hope you don’t lose many sites javagreen and what you do lose i hope you manage to replace quickly. I’ve managed to pick up a new site today and have another in the pipeline for when they’re back open and ready for me to install a couple of towers, so there is still seemingly some opportunity out there in my area to replace lost sites and I hope it’s the same for you.

£30 for 96 masks does not seem a bad price at all style and leaves a very good margin. I Have never dealt with Hurleys so will have to look into maybe buying a box from tubz vending when I next need to order some stock and run some tests in a few locations.

I would be grateful if any of you guys that have bought face masks could tell me how it has worked out ? I decided not to go down this route because I was sceptical about the appeal of selling them in my existing towers, however I may have been mistaken especially in respects of picking up new sites. I see tubz vending are now doing a promotion linked to face masks. I am conflicted as to whether this is worth a punt or not given recent sales and the continuing loss of established sites. If anyone could give me some insight as to the success of selling face masks and if you are mixing them with traditional sweet products or just completely filling a tower with them in an appropriate site.

I put my first lot out this week. Interesting you mention tubz vending as one of the sites I put them in had been phoned by someone thiss week offering a tower with face masks and sweets. Ive only put them on two pubs so far. One land lord was very excited. We will see.

I would not do it as kids might think it Is some sort of Liquid sweet (I know, just saying) and this will leave you open to a liability claim or worse if it is catastrophic.

My view is one machine for masks/sanitisers and I would not position them in a location that is mainly frequented by kids. Some kids just have no sense or capability to comprehend what it is they are purchasing or perhaps some of them just cannot understand or read. Not worth the hassle.

Cheers.

If you've got stickers made up for the tower I think it's a pretty good idea and I assume you don't mean putting sweets in the same pot. Hand sanitiser is technically a biocide so it has to be labelled properly, if you're putting prepackaged and labelled bottles in I think you should be fine, if you're thinking of buying blank little bottles and filling them up yourself from a bigger container you might be on dodgy ground. Where are you getting them from if you don't mind me asking
