Advantages of Outdoor Vending Machine

When we talk of vending, we are only reminded of machines situated within premises of crowded areas like shops, malls, schools, offices etc. Outdoor vending system has not gain prominence and is still under consideration. However, few operators have started experimenting with these machines by locating them outdoors. For instance: few vending machines are located in amusement parks and entertainment parks. The reason for installing these machines outdoor is because these machines generate huge sales when located outside. In spite of its advantages, location of vending machines is still restricted to indoors.

Vending machines located outdoors has its own set of benefits. The first and foremost benefit is easy visibility and wider reach. Some of the benefits are discussed below:

• Increase footage: Vending machines installed outdoors are capable of increasing footage in retail stores. This is a dual benefit of locating the machine outdoor. A customer who visits the retail store is automatically attracted towards the machine and vice versa with a customer who visits the vending machine. In both these cases, sales of both vending machine and retail stores can be boosted.

• Machines that are located outside parks have noticed that there has been an increase in the number of people visiting parks.

• National accounts of vending management companies that manage vending companies have advised vending operators to make better use of vending opportunities including outdoor sites.

The main benefit of outdoor machines over indoor ones is that operators need not face any maintenance issues or hassles with the condensers as is the case with most indoor machines. When it comes to profitability, there is a mixed reaction. Some people feel that outdoor and indoor machine generate the almost similar returns. While vending management companies are of the view that outdoor locations provide higher sales and revenue when compared to indoor ones.

However, if an operator is in lookout for new avenues, then outdoor vending deserves to be tried once. For more information on starting your own vending business contact Planet Antares staff.
