Vendor Sales

[sparkey]

I currently have a few drop shelf vendors and I am thinking of upgrading to a glass front spiral vendor of some sort. For those of you that have upgraded did you notice an increase in vending sales? My drop shelf vendors do very little business and if sales didn't pick up it would be a waste of money.

I also like the Etowah Valley vendor because of its narrow size and the ability to mount on the wall verses through the wall. I don't have any spare space to penetrate the pump room wall for a vendor. Does anyone currently have the Etowah Valley vendor? What are your thoughts on it?

I bought an AMS combo unit from Shurvend; 51 selections with a refrigerator for drinks.

It is successful.

I vend everything from sodas and water to nudie air freshners, trees, AA, rain x, hot wheels cars, s.o.s. pads, tokens (5 $1 tokens for $4), etc. It takes credit cards and cash.

I bought mine used so I could better afford it and have had very few problems. I have mine in a security cage.

I also have drop shelf units and the clear-front unit with sodas and car care stuff is much busier, always.

People like choices and seeing all the products is a big plus marketing-wise.

I went from drop vendors to a 51 glass front combo unit (refrigerated). I'll never go back to drop vendors. Sales went up, but I am offerring more items now as well. Including cold drinks.

We went with the AMS Slim Gem. Nice narrow unit. I think we paid about $2000per unit.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but are any of these vendors suitable for outside use? Weatherproof? I'd also like to go this route but do not have any sheltered area or enough room in my ER to mount one through the wall.

Mine from Jim Holve is in a security cage and is completely weatherproof. See my avatar as it is my vendor.

I believe the slim wall mount from ethwah valley is for outside use.

He's sending me out some literature on the ShurVends...Thanks!
