What does everyone that sells them have there tuna lunches priced at? I have never sold them before. I'm thinking $2 sounds like a good price. I'm using the regular ones, not the Albacore tuna.

Thanks for your input,

Coinvestor,

I am also interested to know what to price them at. I have been considering selling them in my machines as well. What demographic tends to buy them? What is their cost? When you say "tuna lunches" does that include more than just tuna? Crackers or something? Can you also put what brand you are using? Others who are selling them, how do they compare to beef jerky?

Sincerely,

We buy at Sams Club for $1.18 and sell them for $2.00. Make sure that they fit in your machine first (you can buy one at Wal-mart). The demographic is your customers that ask for healthy products and also people that lift weights (exellent source of protien). Catholics during lenton can't eat meat on Fridays. It includes tuna, crackers, relish, mayonaise, and a napkin. Starkist makes it and you can buy from Sams.
Jack Links kippered beef sticks sold at Sams Club is what you need. You can buy them for $0.65 and sell them for $1.00 - $1.25. They will sell a case (12) very quickly. Again, check your machine to see it it fits (height clearance). Healthy people along with everyone else will eat this.

Hope this helps

I buy mine for $1.30 - 1.35 I sell them for $ 2.00 One thing I have noticed is they don't sell for me in the summer. When it's cold and snowy I have two acconts that that go through 2 or 3 a week In the summer I had to pull them and feed them to my wife. I would put them on your product selection sheet and see who asks about them. I found putting them in the machine and hoping someone would buy them didn't work at all. Don't buy many until you see how they sell.

I just bought a couple from walmart to try them. They are going in a white collar location that eats healthy. So putting these in will allow me to pull a pastry selection that doesn't do very well. The tuna lunches are good for about a year and a half so going out of date shouldn't be a problem. The location wanted a cold food machine, so even if I put some stuff like this in the machine and it doesn't do very well its still better than buying another machine for it.

Ted,

You mentioned a product selection sheet. How do you do it? Do you list products or do you take suggestions? Do you post it on the machine? Do you have a sample list I can use?

Thanks,

You make a product selection sheet to provide and inform potential customers and also current customers of your products and prices. Be sure that it is up to date because of price changes. Provide a list of chips, candy, pastries and drinks along with prices and sizes (ex. 12oz or 20oz). Put your company name and phone number and your set! This is the way we do our list and also a few other local vendors. It's good to fax this list to companies upon request too.
