This article examines how using the most basic product in bulk vending can produce maximum financial results. The resulting small business profits can be used to provide new found financial options for the vending entrepreneur.
Gumballs are the most common product sold in bulk vending machines for good reason. The profit margin is normally the highest compared to other product choices. The machines are relatively easy to place and do not require constant maintenance. Gumballs last approximately one year in a climate controlled environment; therefore the product shelf life is excellent.
Besides all this practical stuff, they taste good! I have adults who will almost chase me down to give me a "play by play" of who my top "quarter-plunkers" are in the office where my machine resides. It gets to almost be absurd how adults can go on talking about gumballs like kids in a candy store!
My vending company has over 2,000 machines and over 80% of those machines are gumballs. The higher profit margins rack up the profits quicker. More profits mean a higher R.O.I. (return on your investment). You need to give serious consideration to a good R.O.I. when you purchase gumball machines. Don't disdain having a true business mindset when it comes to your machines (even if you only have a few). If you treat your machines as a real business it will pay you like a truly profitable business can.
The passive income created from the business is one of my favorite benefits. I don't have to physically be there for money to flow into my business. Machines are making money for me 24 hours a day in some cases. I show up for less than five minutes per stop and reap the benefits of this awesome business!
Good profitability ("profit margin") leads to having new found financial options. These newly created financial options can be great incentives to keep your business running smoothly. You have the option of investing your profits into other financial vehicles to multiply those profits further. Here are some excellent uses for the profits created by your gumball machines:
Many people use vending machines to do these very things. Having a vision for your cash flow gives you incentive and motivation to operate a small business day in and day out. Most people I know who have machines still work their day job and use their investment in the vending arena to accomplish their financial goals.
Are gumball and candy machines for you? They can be a great asset for passive income. Visit my website below to get more great tips for vending and how to set up your company profitably (large or small) from day one.
