Re-Investing In The Business

Downtown LA's office skyscrapers. Including th...Image via Wikipedia I have come to realize that in order for my business to grow I have to reinvest every dime back into the business. When you make a little profit and don't put the money back into the business so you can grow the money to a level where you can actually live off the proceeds you are stagnating your own growth.

Selling Snacks People Want

Twisties, extruded snack from corn and riceImage via Wikipedia Have you bought snacks and placed them in the Vending Machine to find out that nobody wants them? I have and its really a big headache when you buy food that nobody want to eat. In a situation like this, I think the best thing to do is ask people what they want to see placed in the Vending Machine, and try to get a happy medium of snacks purchased that people will want to eat. People are fickle when it comes to eating snacks out of a Vending Machine. Women like chocolate while men like hard candies or some type of potato chips etc.

The best thing that you can do when you try to service a group of people at a local business is to get an opinion on what folks want to see place in their Vending Machine. Pleasing folks can be a difficult task, but if you just sk then you may save yourself alot of money in the long run.

Out Dated Snacks

A fully-mechanical snack vending machineImage via Wikipedia Out dated Snacks can be a problem for your business if you don't keep up with dates on the bags. Potato chips are a big one when it comes to expired dates on the bags. Many folks due to the economy have been trying to cut their cost, and save money by allowing the expiration date of an item to go past its overdue date to get more bang for the buck. I would advise you to keep an eye out for the dates on the snacks if they are not told far off most times the food is still fresh and edible to eat.

Helping Charities or Non Profit

A logo for the non-profit organization, BOSCO-...Image via Wikipedia When you get into the business of Vending it is always suggested that you align yourself with a charity or non profit agency. Many companies use the gift of giving to help build their businesses. When you align yourself with a charity, or non profit it allows you to gain more reach by partnering up with a business that needs funding to help their business grow with small donations through out the year. I have connected myself with Child Search Ministries to help find missing children. Many business have a soft side when it comes to allowing you to do business in their establishment, because you have connected with a charity.

Smaller Vending Machines

'BookImage via Wikipedia I have been servicing a banks vending machine needs for quite some time. In the last few months, I have notice that I'm not really making the money I would like to get from the machine and need to get a smaller vending machine. One reason, I'm not making the money is due to the small number of employees that the bank has which calls for a smaller vending machine to meet supply and demand. I think there may be thirteen people employed at the bank. A small staff really can hurt your sales, because they are not eating enough for you to see the return on your money. I also think that due to the bank being filled with women that plays a role as well, because they are watching their weight and what they eat. Finally, the machine I have bought may be bigger than the number of employees needed to partake with the vending machine.

I have realized that I need to get a smaller vending machine for the ladies at the bank. Now the drinks always seem to be moving along quite well, but the snacks are not getting out the door as fast as I would like them too. So, to anyone who supplies small work place employees with snacks, I think its at your best interest to get a smaller vending machine to help meet the supply and demand. I will keep you posted on how this on turns out.

If you have any suggestions about how to remedy this problem I would love to hear your opinion on the matter.

thanks

Consumer Retention

DVD vending machineImage via Wikipedia Keeping your costumers happy is very important when you are in business. In the world of Vending it is very important to keep the customer coming back againg and again to get your product. I have noticed with my business I could have a really good week, and if I put some thing in a machine that they really don't like then I will see a decrease in the money for that week with the snacks that I have offered.

How can a person keep his customers from going to other business? Well, I think something simple as what are your likes and dislikes about what Im doing can really make a difference with the business. When your customers feel like they are part of the family then they are more willing to deal with your ups and downs inside your business. You can give out surveys to build repoire with the clients you have, or you could do sample taste test on items you may want to buy with out buying the whole cow. Finally, you can do raffles and free give aways to help with customer retention inside your business.

How to Grow a Business and Maintain It

Workflow/Business Process Management (BPM) Ser...Image via Wikipedia
I got a friend who is starting a hair care business. He will be selling hair care products that most beauty salons need to service their clients. As we all know, when you start a new business their are so many detailed things that a new business owner has to keep up with. My friend has not even got into business good yet, and has dealt with problems from buying products from other business owners to contract problems. How does a person start a business and maintain it with out going under in the first year ?
Statics have shown that most business fail in the first three years. A key factor that I think causes most businesses to fail is not doing any home work on the market, or field they have chosen to start a business in. Another reason, I think most business fail is they don't have a nest egg for bumps and unexpected expenses that occur within the business. You as a business owner need at least six months worth of rent to sustain you while you build your clients for the business.
Finally, you need a business consultant who can guide you with the know how on how to maintain the business you have chosen. Now how does all this apply to your Vending business well the old saying goes that now matter what line a business you are in the process is all the same. So, if you are selling toilet paper to a dog, or water to a whale their are certain things you have to have in place for your business to be successful.

How do You Spot A Good Location

Kosher McDonalds restaurant in Ashqelon, IsraelImage via Wikipedia
If you are new to the business you are probably wondering how tell if you got a quality location. You got to develop that keen sense of knowing good from bad when looking at a location. My advise is you have to do the p.m. and a.m. on any business inorder to tell if they have traffic. Lets take Mcdonalds for example, there is a period of the day when Mcdonalds slows down in doing business and then picks up at a certain time. At 6 am to 9am Mcdonalds is booming then it will slow down for a few hours and pick back up around 12pm for lunch slow again and pick up around 6pm for dinner. When you visit a business do the Mcdonalds and look to see if they are getting morning traffic and then afternoon traffic and then evening traffic. If a business is not getting any traffic when you pull during peeks of the day then thats not a good location.

Vending is like real estate once you get a good location the money just comes pouring in. It may take you some time to get a keen sense of whether a business is good for you and thats okay but visit the business several times before you make your placement on the business.
