Payment options. All my snack vending machines came with built in capabilities to add payment options. I could have added a bill acceptor if I wanted to. This may have boosted sales if customer had bills in her pocket instead of coins. Some machines may allow you to add credit card or smart card capabilities.
Product options. Have you seen Pringles chips business opportunity? How about Campbell.s soup business opportunity? There are others and in my view Pringles chips are good products as is Campbell's soup, but business opportunity is garbage.
For $100 at time I owned my business I could have purchased an add-on to install that would have given me ability to sell cans of Campbell.s soup if I wanted to. I would have had to sell a lot of soup to pay for it though. Plus when Pringles chip business opportunity was going around I bought a coil for one of my snack vending machines that allowed me to sell that product. For $20 at time I was selling same thing those so-called " Pringles Vending Machines " were doing!
A lot of people lost a lot of money buying into those so-called business opportunities. I know because I saw machines for sale months after I saw those so called business opportunities advertised.
The bottom line with snack vending machines is that they can be extremely versatile. You can sell a lot of different types of products other than just snacks. The ability to change your prices quickly and easily are vital and option of installing additional payment capabilities is also a necessity.
Don't limit your options when you purchase snack vending machines. At some point in your business you may want to sell a higher cost item(s) and there is a good chance that snack vending machines may be able to do that for you.
