How to Find Vending Locations for Planet Antares Machines

From the time vending machines have been first introduced, schools, offices, factories, malls and recreation centers have always remained to be popular location choices for most operators. The main criterion here is to find locations that people visit most often. Although there are several busy streets and locations, choice of one depends on the kind of product you dispense and also on your target customers.

There are few things which you need to consider while looking for a prospective location.

• If you are planning to install your Planet Antares machine in an office or factory, find out how many employees work there. You also need to find out if you are the first one to install your machine here or is there anyone else operating his machine there.

• Demand and supply: Before finalising on one particular location, operators need to find out if there is sufficient demand for the product he is about to offer.

• Commutation: There is no point in locating you machine in a place where people cannot reach or where commutation is a problem.

• Visibility and accessibility are two factors that determine the success of your business. Make sure that the location in which you install your machine is not only nearby but also easily accessible to customers.


How can you find a prospective location? There are several methods of locating new and high customer traffic localities. You may do it all by yourself or even take the support and guidance of a locator. To start with, you can make use of flyers that carry information about the various services offered and contact details. Flyers is the best method hen it comes to collecting information related to existing operators in the locality, most commonly used models of vending machines, their prices, services offered and similar information that impacts the success of your business.

Once you collect leads, it is up to the operator to close the deal on location. Operators also need to be aware of the various local and state regulations relating to placement of vending machine. For instance: there are few states that do not allow vending machines to be placed outdoor. A thorough knowledge of all these would enable you to run your business smoothly without any operational hiccups.
