Are you looking for a new?business opportunity?that requires no special skills or training, can be done?part time?or as a?home-based business, and can get your whole family involved ? ?How about starting a vending machine business ?
Whether you?re vending traditional?snacks,?drinks, healthy snacks, or a?combination, you?ll need a vending machine that is appropriate for your product and eye-catching to draw in customers.
Many healthy vending franchises say they?re giving you a great deal when they offer vending operators start-up packages that include the machine, product, locations, tutorials, etc. for exorbitant prices. Such franchises include Human Healthy Vending, Healthy You, Fresh Healthy Vending, Naturals 2 Go, and others.
Don?t be fooled! You can buy a vending machine?new?or?used?with a warranty for less than half of the cost that the healthy vending franchises charge! When buying a machine, keep in mind that a Healthy Wrap or some other healthy design/decal will identify your vending machine as a healthy option for customers and attract more sales.
Many healthy vending operators who are just getting into the business are under the impression that they have to special-order product or purchase online to offer their customers the healthier options they?re looking for.
Buying in bulk from places like Sam?s Club or Costco can save you hundreds when re-stocking your machine and you can then pass those savings on to your customers. Additionally it is more convenient to be able to buy them on demand as you are serving your route instead of waiting days for the product to arrive.
Once you have the perfect healthy vending machine with all the best products stocked in it, you need to find the most profitable locations for your machines. You can usually sell a prospective customer on your machine, product, and services alone, without the need to offer a commission.
Lastly you will need the proper licensing from your state, county and city where you are doing business.
The vending business is one of the easiest small businesses to get into and the Return on Investment (ROI) is typically less than a year if you do it right by buying an affordable machine and securing good locations.
