Your Own Candy Machine Business






STARTING YOUR VENDING MACHINE BUSINESS





If you are looking to start a vending machine business the following advice from our vending sales manager is for you.





At Gumball Machine Warehouse, our mission is to help you successfully start and maintain a vending machine business.





We are constantly approached with the question, “how much money will my vending machine make every month?” And to give you a number of how much a vending machine will make a week or a month would be very misleading as, it all depends on the location you place that machine. There are bulk vending machines out there making about $300 per month and there are machines that can’t even break $1 per month. The national average (per Vending Times Magazine) for vending machines is $1 per machine per day. So a single head vending machine will yield $30 per month and a double head vending machine $60 and so on... but those are national averages and may not reflect what your vending machine will make. As long as you place your vending machines in locations with good traffic, you are bound to have a successful vending business, as our vending machines are very dependable in converting that high traffic location to profits in your pocket. Profits that will hopefully help you grow your vending business with us in the future.





So why choose Gumball Machine Warehouse to start your vending business? We would love to have you as one of our valued customers and we pride ourselves in going the extra mile. We offer an unbeatable lowest price guarantee on all our machines. It is rare that a customer comes to us and says that they found a certain vending machine at a lower price somewhere else and would like a price matched. However, when that happens we do our best to even go lower than our competitor’s price as a way of showing our dedication to low cost startup which is a very important factor in starting a successful vending machine business.





Call us at 866-648-6225 and discuss discount options with one of our sales associates if you are looking to start a vending business.





So decide on which machine you are going to start your business with (ex. Triple Head Vending Machine) and our recommendations are:





1- Order your vending machines and assemble them in your garage or whatever the case might be.





2- Fill them with fresh product, test the bays to ensure a good vend.





3- Take 2 machines at a time in your car or more if you have a van or a truck. When you get to a Potential good vending location, bring one of your machines down and ask the manager in person what they think of the machine and if they have a spot for you to leave the machine at.





You have a much higher success rate this way as the machine very often sells itself. A nice machine with candy in it does a lot more than a printed picture no matter what. 2 Things can help you secure locations for your vending machines faster. Our vending book, "Locating Your Vending Route" and an affiliation with a charitable organization. When participating in those programs, you will pay a royalty of around $1 per vending machine per month for decals of missing children you place on your vending machine. You will get a letter of authorization from that charity you can present to business owners who will then be more likely to donate a spot for your machine. This not only saves you money as commissions paid to the store you have your vending machine in are more likely to be more than $1 every month, but precious time as you don’t have to count quarters inside the store. An example of a charitable organization you can contact and a very popular vending operator’s program is from Child Search. You can view their vending program by clicking here.





I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to read our “Starting Your Vending Business Advice” and we hope to hear from you in the near future.

Candy Wrappers Home Business






Starting a candy wrappers business is great for someone who wants to start a low-cost home-based business venture that is fun. A candy wrappers business is also ideal for someone who has a creative side or an eye for detail. But while it helps to be artistic, you don't have to be a magnificent artist to create fantastic and professional looking candy wrappers because there are plenty of options for obtaining graphics to use in your candy wrapper creations.





Who Will Want to Buy Your Candy Wrappers?





There's a never-ending array of customers who will buy your candy wrappers! And any holiday or festivity is an appropriate occasion for offering your wrappers. Here are some examples of occasions for which you can offer your candy wrappers:





- Babies - shower invitations, adoption announcements, baptism, first communion





- Weddings - shower favors and invitations



- Holidays - Christmas, Easter, Hanukkah, Halloween, Mother's Day, Father's Day





- Parties - invitations and mementos for anniversary parties, family reunions, and birthday parties





- Corporations may also use candy wrappers for trade shows, seminars, and as gifts for customers





- Put on your thinking cap, and you'll come up with more!





Types of Candy to Wrap





Chocolate candy bars are not the only option, as you can also create personalized candy wrappers for rolls of hard candy such as Life Savers or Mentos. You may also want to consider including gourmet chocolate candy bars on your product list. But the candies that make an ideal candy wrapper canvas are:





- Cadbury





- KitKat





- Nestle's Crunch





- Hershey's chocolate bars and Hershey's chocolate miniatures





Designing Your Candy Wrappers





As mentioned previously, you don't have to be an artist to create good-looking candy wrappers. You can purchase candy wrapper graphic software online, and there are also plenty of membership sites that offer clip art for commercial use. This makes adding cute and eye-catching designs to your wrappers easy! Some places that offer candy wrapper software are candykit.com, quiglow.com, and BillyBear4Kids.com.





Starting an Online Candy Wrappers Business





The beauty of this home-based business is that you can sell your candy wrappers over the Internet. Some people may think selling over the Internet is a daunting and risky venture to pursue, but just imagine finding 50 customers online in your first week. If you can get enough Web traffic and entice customers to buy once they land on your site, your income can grow exponentially. Then as your business grows, you can hire employees or outsource tasks so that you're not doing everything by yourself. First register a domain name and hire someone to design your candy wrapper business website. You'll also want to do some research on the type of shopping cart that will best suit a candy wrappers business. You will need a shopping cart that allows customers to add text or upload pictures for inclusion in their orders. Also, before your online business can take orders, you'll need to do some research on payment processors.
