Congratulations to you if you are thinking of implementing a vending machine on your grounds! Vending machines can be a lot of fun for the people that are using your facility or working in your building/office. Keeping a vending machine can also be fun and creative - mainly because you get to pick and choose what products to put in these snack vending machines and drink vending machines! If you see that something is not working and people are not buying, it could be because of the type of merchandise, or the placement of the machine, because after all, I think location is everything.
Too much foot traffic and no one is going to even notice the snack vending machines and drink vending machines.
Too little and you probably won't get very many sales, plus the products in the vending machines won't get used as often which means loss of profit on "stale" food! Not good! You want to make money, not burn it!
Here are a few suggestions as far as locations go when it comes to these snack vending machines and drink vending machines. By the way, you could also try placing more than one machine as well - this will result in trying a few different things at the same time and seeing what makes the most money and is the most popular!
This part is simple, all you have to do is look for vending machines suppliers online or find a business offline that has vending machines for sale!
Inside hospitals or doctor offices. Thousands of people pass through the doors of a hospital every single day - most of which are hungry employees! This would be a fantastic option for you to place a machine or two right by the door or right by the waiting room. The door is a good option because you will get people that are leaving, and the waiting room, well, because people will be waiting! Catch them where you can!
Grocery stores. Especially in warm locations! For the grocery store option you really should consider drink vending machines. Not only juice and soda, but water as well. Just think of a really hot summer day, and seeing a nice cold soda machine! Always gets them! Be sure to place these on the outside of the store doors, so all those thirsty people can stop by and get a drink or two!
Recreation Centers or Parks. Yet another place that's usually full with hungry and or thirsty people. Parks are especially good in the summer months because kids and adults will often be playing sports and become dehydrated and need something to drink! For this option choose something like water or Gatorade. Most people won't drink soda when they are playing sports and roughhousing because they know it will only slow them down!
Factory or Industrial Buildings. I don't know about other places, but where I'm from - these factories and industrial building are filled to the brim with workers. A lot of workers either stay around the factory or at least close by, and most of them only take a 5 to 35 minute break. This leaves ample time for your machines to draw them in! For this option I would choose a soda option or coffee and a food option - not candy, actual food!
Of course there are more places as well I'm sure. But as far as what could be or would be the most popular I think the above mentioned options could end up getting you a lot of business all around. And remember, if something doesn't work? Its okay! Just tweak the products and the machine locations and see what works the best for you! Good luck in placing vending machines in your business!
