The Problem with Energy Vending

I don’t consider energy vending to be a scam but it’s not something I would personally peruse. I’m sure there are people that having some success with energy vending, but for me the risks outweigh the rewards. The machines are more expensive than traditional bulk vending machines but this isn’t my main concern, my main concern is that these machines can only vend one type of product. What happens when the energy fad fades out? What happens if you find out that energy vending isn’t working out for you? I’ll tell you what happens, you end up with a bunch of machines that you can no longer use. Good luck unloading them.

Besides the risk of having machines that can only one product, I have other concerns as well. The product can only be bought from the manufacturer, to my mind this is a risk that I don’t want to assume. It’s never a good idea to only have one place to buy your product; this means that this one business has an undue influence over your business. I also don’t like that fact that energy is the latest greatest thing, it’s almost 100% assured that the popularity of energy is going to fade out. What then?

Yes, quite possibly you can make money in energy vending, but it’s not for me, I’ll stick with my candy and nuts. Candy and nuts will always be popular, I can change them to suit the needs of my customers, I can buy the product anywhere and I can vend it from any type of machine I choose to buy, plus, candy and nuts are well suited for both children and adults which gives me a broader market base. So, if you choose to go the energy vending route, make your money quick and expect it to be only short term. When this fad runs its course, it’s going to stop on a dime; I’ve already seen lots of energy vending machines for sale online.
