running out of space
is it just me or is the tower market saturated? i've found loads of my neighbouring operators machines recently (prefer to say neighbours than competitors!) and while out today I found a site which had a perform marketing tower, and a tubz vending franchise h4h tower and an independent tower!

Sounds like massive overkill to me!part-time-operator wrote:is it just me or is the tower market saturated? i've found loads of my neighbouring operators machines recently (prefer to say neighbours than competitors!) and while out today I found a site which had a perform marketing tower, and a tubz vending vending franchise h4h tower and an independent tower!
There are still sites available though (in my area at leas0 - I guess the longer you operate you are bound to eventually hit saturation point if only operating one type of machine.
You then have the option to go further a field, start supplying a new site (i.e. staff rooms if you don't already) or diversify into other machines or even another business area completely.
For example: I have started selling party bags on Facebook to run along side the vending using some stock that I would use in toy machines and sell filled pots. I also sell small packs for people to self fill their own party bags.
Not massive money makers but it ticks along.
I have considered the idea of buying and selling one off display pieces for bars and clubs (signs sports memorabilia for sports bars/Signed music memorabilia for rock bars and R&B clubs)
I have a few other ideas too which, although not vending per se, still fit in with what I am doing and uses my existing products or customer base.
Food for thought?
