Hey guys,

Today let's talk about a common issue almost all new operators encounter when starting a vending machine.

I have seen a lot of beginners fail in product selection. they stock items they like , instead of what the people at the location want.

I have summarized some tips that work really well for me:

• Match products to your location: office, factory, gym, schools, each has different demands, you can't use the same inventory for all locations.
• Try new items with small quantities to see which one sells best, don't overstock
• Stick to classic top selling items: water, soda, chips, basic snacks. sometimes, healthy snacks may not fit your location.
• The most important thing is to track your sales, record what sell best and eliminate slow items.

Product selection really matters for your business.

what's your best-selling products in your machine right now? Feel free to share!

Recently, I saw many newcomers in vending business tend to choose cheap & low-quality machines or poorly refurbished units that can break down in just a few months.

However, some suppliers hide internal quality issues behind nice exterior designs.

Here are some key points you need to check before purchasing:

1. Stable refrigeration compressor.

2. Durable spiral product lanes to reduce jam issues.

3. Global universal payment interface.

4. Complete cloud remote management system.

5. After-sales support and spare parts supply.

Most beginners only look at appearance and price. This is the biggest mistake.

Low-cost machines bring endless maintenance problems later.

If you are going to import or purchase vending machines, comment your confusions.

which type of machine do you prefer? Brand-new or refurbished
