3. Decide what type of snacks you want to deal with. You may want to try something different, such as energy snacks and drinks, or nutrition bars. Look around for new and different snack ideas. This will put you in a category with less competition, and may get you in the door of more locations than if you were vending the same snacks as everyone else.

The consumers who frequent this location should be the type that will buy your product. If you are vending energy products, you will want to target locations where teens and young adults congregate.
5. Start out with one or two machines. Dont go overboard right away or you may find yourself with a garage or basement full of snack machines with no place to put them, and find that you have spent way too much of your hard earned cash. Once your first machine(s) starts paying off, and you are able to clear the money you put out for them, you can think about purchasing more snack vending machines in more locations.
