BECOMING AN ENTREPRENEUR:
 The long cherished notion of getting a job that would provide both long term
security and benefits is close to disappearing in the American workplace. It is no
surprise that more people today want to do "their own thing". Vending is one of
the final frontiers. Since you are considering starting a business, you belong to a large
and growing group of people frustrated with their present jobs. The word entrepreneur is a
French word meaning 'enterpriser'. It is best described as a person who sees an
opportunity in the marketplace and decides to take advantage of it. He or she gathers the
material and markets this vending service to fill a need of the customers.
PLAN YOUR WORK AND WORK YOUR PLAN!
The forty hour work week became the standard in this country during the 1930's. It
is interesting when we observe that entrepreneurs work an average of sixty hours per week
and still report to be happier than the average employee working 1/3 fewer hours. How can
this be true? People are happier in their work if they have control over what they do.
Happy people are also healthier people, and there is no better time than now to start a
change in your life and put yourself in control of your own destiny.
Choose machines that are:
reliable, easy to service, easy to locate, caters to the people on location (products that
they want), and gives you an outstanding return on your investment.
VEND TRENDS-FACTS AND FIGURES:
 The name of the game is financial success and Independence with
vending!
1) A
department of commerce study revealed that fewer than 5% of new vending companies fail
each month, compared with a 65% failure rate by the Small Business Administration, for
independent, new business start up. Vending can be a very profitable business!
2) The main motivation for getting into any business is
“money”. The only common aspect of every business is money. That is what
business is all about. Vending allows a person to invest 10 to 20 hours per month
and get a return on money invested 100% to 200% in the first year. This is 10 times
what they would get at a bank with a CD or Money Market account.
3) Money follows financial independence. Vending allows 95% of
start-up to go for machines and product. Your home can be your office. This
allows lots of possible tax write-offs that other people never receive.
4) 70% of vendors start off on a part time basis, keeping a full time
job, and checking their machines and servicing them after work or on weekends. This allows
their money to work for them while they keep their present jobs. 85% of them turn to
full time vending after two years. Money does allow freedom. We might wish that our
economic system operated differently, but it doesn’t. Having money or not having
it largely controls what we do in our lives. Vending can give you that
independence.
Not only is the greatest growth of vending ahead of us, but also the greatest
diversification of vending is yet to come. Here are just a few reasons why Automatic
Merchandising "vending" is
literally exploding.
- The
high cost of labor in personal selling activities makes Automatic Vending a more
interesting alternative.
- The movement of population to
suburban areas, plus the desire for more convenience in location and time of purchase
makes vending appealing.
- The
trends towards more impulse purchasing by customers will benefit the growth of this
industry.
 "The
Vending industry has seen an extreme amount of growth over the last few years.
With vending consumers wanting products, fast, convenient and economical. Vending offers
new entrepreneurs a way to start a business and grow quickly. Snacks, Beverage, Candy and
Food vending machines continue to be the most lucrative and stable in the market place.
Cashless vending is now available for vending machines,
swiping a debit card for added convenience when no change
in their
pocket. Vending
is a Billion Dollar industry, stable and
growing." --- Karen Scott - VP of Production and Sales

HERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO START EXPANDING
Into Your New Vending Business:
1) Lease your equipment, whether the machines are
new or used. Add one or two vending machines at a time. You can build your vending
business slowly, with good high traffic locations.
2) Purchase established routes (from
someone retiring or getting out of the business). The existing vending business will be
currently set up with machines on locations, suppliers of products, along with the
procedure of filling each type of machine and pricing of the products. The Vending Route
seller should provide some sort of training.
3) Purchase used equipment from other vending
operators or distributors. Try it first and see if vending is for you. Research trade
magazines, classified ads, or call local distributors for new and used equipment for sale
at the lowest prices.

TYPES OF VENDING BUSINESS SUPPLIERS:
MANUFACTURERS are the companies that actually manufacture the products or
machines. Usually selling through distributors or brokers. Occasionally selling directly
to the vending operator at discount prices.
DISTRIBUTORS sell machines and/or products directly to you in your area. Some
distributors may have products and vending equipment in stock with warehouse space, assisting
you with vending equipment, product, parts, and financing.
RETAIL WHOLESALERS are a specific kind of retail distributor. Often a
reatil wholesaler has a large, easily accessible inventory that they will resell to the
public at wholesale prices. Well known retail wholesalers such as Sam's Club or CostCo
Wholesale, which require a membership to purchase products.
BROKERS act as middlemen between manufacturing companies, retailers or
distributors, often buying a product and selling it to the smaller local vending business
vendor.
"I shall return..look for me to order your book in the near future. I want
very much to get started but I realize now that I need to study a bit. I am very thankful
that I have found you. I also give to local charities, now this can give me more seed to
sow."
-----Thank you, Michael ----Maysville, NC
"I was looking for a hobby to get into which would bring in some extra income.
Vending looked like a good idea. I bought the
start-up kit and last winter and it has been a very valuable tool in helping
me to establish routes and negotiating
other issues which I never would have even imagined, such as inventory and
cash control systems. Thanks to the author for putting together this much needed
publication." -----Vending Entrepreneur from Hoboken, NJ
"Once in a great while, I find a product that meets or exceeds its advertising
promises. Your handbook, The Vending Start Up-Kit, is one of those. Your information is
concise, easy to read and up-to date. I especially like the plastic sheet protectors that
keep the pages neat and free from damage. I have limited vending experience and few
contacts in the industry, so you kit has been very helpful in finding resources for
products and information. I am certain that I have saved thousands of dollars in mistakes
by reading your handbook. Thank you very much for your interest in my success!"
-----Bob Kinkade
"The majority of the people who will become financially independent in the next 10
years won't do it through real estate or inheritance. They will do it by starting their
own business." -----The Wall Street Journal
