They presented to us the advantages of a Vending Machine Business. 

• I learned that it is an all cash business. All sales transactions are immediately paid in cash. No credit. ( Walang utang)
• Vending machines, in general, require only minimal maintenance.
• There’s no need to hire sales employees, and your business is potentially open 24 hours a day. Because there is minimal overhead costs, you can sell your products at very competitive prices.
• It is recession proof. It is a fact that people tend to buy more in retail than in bulk when times are hard.

Factor For Vending Machine Business Success

The success of a vending machine business primarily relies on three things:

Location. Location. Location.  Yes, folks. You must be able to choose the right location to enjoy maximum profits. 

Question: How do you determine if a location is a good place to put up a vending machine?

Answer: 

1. The area should have constant foot traffic. 
2. Second, the area should be secure and safe from vandals. 
3. The product or products you'll offer must compliment the market profile of the area.

The third tip is actually the most important. Have you ever wondered why you see toilet paper vending machines inside restrooms, coffee vending machines near offices, soda vending machines in parking lots and candy or gumball vending machines in places where there are lots of children?
People buy from vending machines usually for a reason/s 

• Out of need 
• Out of impulse. 

Thus the vendo machine containing toilet papers are exactly located where we need them. coffee to awaken sleepy employees, sodas for the waiting drivers or to accompany us while driving and candies to tempt the sweet tooth of children.

Things To Consider When Starting A Vending Machine Business:

• Find a suitable location and decide what products would do well in the area.
• Inquire to the establishment or building administrator and ask the requirements and terms for putting up a vending machine in the area.
• Consult the local government to know the legal process of getting business permits for your venture.
• Look for vending machine suppliers or find sellers of second hand or used vending machines.

                        

• Depending on the supplier, vending machines can either be bought or leased. Most of the time, they are franchised.
• Monitor your inventory. Know your fast moving items to ensure that your vending machine will never run out of stock.
• Regularly visit your location. Doing so will give you more insight on the quality of foot traffic and customers that you get.
• Ensure that your vending machine is always clean, working well, attractive and readily visible. A dusty or faulty equipment will make people think that your products are old and of poor quality.
• Before buying, leasing or franchising a vending machine business, always make sure that you are dealing with a reputable dealer or supplier. Ask for their terms and conditions when it comes to warranty, inventory, service and maintenance of the equipment.
