Hi Roxanne,
The cheapest and probably easiest way is to either call the business or see the owner in person. I have tried sending flyers and emails and this doesn't work.
Finding any location that will underperform and cause you nothing but headaches is easy.
Finding GOOD locations takes some skill and experience.
Over time, you will know which location will do well or not...you can tell from your existing vending locations.
There is some information that you might find helpful on my website.

Hi DavidM,
Agree with markvend. You have to preserve your profit margin by dialing down how much comes out of your vending machine...if you can. Often, people don't notice the difference because what's the difference between 25 and 28 skittles when they are in your hand or in a paper bag?
The price will increase for most products...it's just inflation and the manufacturers trying to make more money. To avoid being a slave to the big manufacturers try looking for different vending products that vend in your machine. That way, you have more flexibility to change your products, adds variety and hopefully keep the profit coming in...

In Topic: Storing Candy

Hi Thomas,
The best place to store candy is in a cool room where the temperature doesn't fluctuate too much in winter or summer. Of course, keep away from the sun and away from where ants can attack.
Most vendors I know use their spare garage at home. That's what I do and it's free and most convenient way to store it. It this is not possible, then you can try a self-storage outlet and hire a space. You will pay a monthly fee for this service. Again, watch out for sun, ants, heat, theft etc.
Hope this helps,

In Topic: Question about what to do in regards to charities

Hi RHC,
It's probably best to stick to the one charity group like you mentioned. It starts to get confusing with different marketing material, scripts and stickers.
When we were dealing with 3 charity groups at the same time, we made the mistake of introducing ourselves from the wrong charity group!!
We wanted our donations to make more of a different so we chose a smaller, less well known charity...rather than one of the bigs ones like the Australian Red Cross. You may find you get better communication with the managers and staff of a smaller charity than you would a larger one.
