Guidelines For Starting Planet Antares Vending Machine Business

Starting a vending machine business is going to be a cake walk if only you have proper guidance and thorough understanding of the moves you need to make. Vending business is all about places, people and products. So, starting a vending business needs some creativity. However some additional guidance would be an added advantage for the operator.


• Establish contacts: To begin with, it is very helpful if you have some contacts with existing vending operators. These contacts will help you start quickly and make money at a faster pace.

• Basic knowledge about fixing vending machines comes handy in case of any emergency. This technical knowledge not only saves your time but also helps keep your costs under control.

• Combo machines: These days we have a lot of combo machines available in the market. These machines are capable of selling two products at a time. For instance: one section of the machine can sell drinks while the other section sells snacks. The main problem with these machines is their maintenance. These machines break down continuously thus leading to customer dissatisfaction. Instead, purchase full size machines with electronic eye. These machines come with a latest feature that detects if a product has been vended or not when a purchase is made.

• Advertising: This is one of the marketing strategies that helps create awareness about the product among customers and creates zeal to purchase it. If you just have a few machines, then advertising is yellow pages is ideal. On the contrary, if you have several machines located across several places, then you can resort to advertising over the internet.

But once you start expanding your business by adding more and more machines, then you may need to hire people to make things easier for you.
