Vending Business And Mid Market Accounts

With the increasing costs, many Planet Antares vending operators have been forced to ignore locations with fewer than 100 people. Still, one segment of this market, the honor box customers continue to hold on. As product and loabor costs rose in recent years, even they have started exploring new business opportunities.

One such opportunity is the mid market accounts. These are vending locations that are too small for traditional vending machines but larger than 10 to 50 person accounts that honor box operators traditionally serve. As a Planet Antares vending operator, you can take an interest in this underserved market.

In the meantime, the honor snack market remains the exclusive domain of a small group of operators who have learned to survive the demands of a changing market with product shrinkage, high employee turnover and almost no means of product accountability.

Some vending operators don’t consider vending as a threat to any of the honor box accounts. No vending company is interested in an account with only 18 employees. Most of the honor box accounts have fewer than 50 employees and high account volume is one of the keys to the honor snack business.

If an honor snack box is unable to meet the needs of an account, multiple boxes can be placed at the location. In addition to this, you can takeover an account with 80 people or more that want a snack machine and soda machine like that provided by Planet Antares Inc.

Multiple boxes can be placed at a location if an account’s needs are not being fulfilled by an honor box. In addition to this, you can take over an account with about 80 people that want a snack machine and a soda machine.
