Blog › Secret to Vending Success: Location, Location, Location!

Ready to start making money with vending machines? Let's break down the two most important things you need to know - and why most people get them backwards!

The Simple Recipe for Success

1. Find an Amazing Location
2. Pick the Right Machine

Sounds easy, right? But here's the thing - most people rush out and buy a machine first. Big mistake. Let's show you how to do it the smart way.

Step 1: Find Your Perfect Spot 📍

What makes a perfect spot? Think about it:

• Lots of people walking by all day long (high foot traffic)
• Hungry or thirsty customers (staff, visitors, patrons)
• No other vending machines or other options nearby (no competition)

Step 2: Choose Your Money-Making Machine 🤖

Now that you've found your spot, it's time to pick the perfect machine. Ask yourself:

• Who's going to use your machine?
• What do they want to buy?
• When are they most likely to buy?

For example:

• Office workers love snacks and coffee
• Students go for energy drinks and quick meals
• Gym-goers want healthy snacks and water

Watch Out For These Common Mistakes ⚠️

1. Buying a Machine Too Soon: It's like buying shoes before you know what sport you're playing

2. Wrong Machine, Wrong Place: Nobody wants hot chocolate at the gym or protein bars at a kid's arcade

3. Technical Headaches:

   • Not enough power outlets
   • Not enough space
   • Hard to get the machine inside
   • Poor lighting
   • Unsafe access for restocking

4. Choosing the Wrong Products: Know your customers before you stock up

5. Settling for a Bad Location: Don't get stuck putting your machine somewhere just because you already bought it

6. Moving Problems: These machines are HEAVY! Know where it's going before you buy

7. Losing Money: An unused machine is like watching your money disappear
