Usually around $50 per location for small machines and soda machines usually have to be negotiated with contract

Hi Steve, could you send me the contact information for the locator that charges $50 a location for these machines. I can give them a lot of work. The lowest price I have found is $250/300 for combos.

Can anyone suggest a reliable company or source that I can use to generate leads for cold calling target companies for possible vending machine placements? I want to be able to generate these leads myself to use in my business venture.

Hi John, I can help you with that. I can generate a report for your area. I can base it on lots of different fields such as number of employees, type of business, business owner name, phone and fax numbers, street addresses. I provide the lists in a excel format and email them to you. You can use them as long as you like for telemarketing or a mailer. My rates are .07 a listing. Min. 1000 listings
I accept paypal only. 888-802-1410

Has anyone heard of this company? If so, what can you tell me about it...thanks

I have spoken with them. They seem to have a great concept but the cost is very high. Also, I have talked with a few vendors that have purchased into the program. So far they report that they are losing money. They say the sales on the product is very slow so they are now converting the machines over to regular vending machines.

I does seem to me that you could just buy normal vending machines and stock them with healthy products without giving them so much money.

Hi

Im new to here, first of all hello to all the members

Im just putting a posting, enquiring how you guys keep track of payments when empyting a machine.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kate, payments to whom? Are you talking about keeping track of your sales?

Hello,

I have been researching the vending business for the last week or so. I am beginning to get serious about entering into vending. This site has been a great resource and I greatly appreciate all the information and opinions posted here.

The main question I was hoping to get some responses to is: How has the downturn in the economy affected the vending industry?
I would love to hear the feedback of all of you experienced vending business owners out there.

Thanks,

Johnny Ringo
