Why do people buy from vending machines? This might seem like an obvious question with an obvious answer, but it’s an important one to ask. As a business owner, it’s essential to understand your target audience. If you don’t, you can’t identify why someone would want to do business with you — and it’s not likely you’ll be in business very long.

 

Here are the main reasons why people buy from vending machines:

 

They need an energy boost.

Whether it’s the after-lunch drag or that mid-morning tired spell, many people choose to get a snack from the vending machine to get a little energy boost. A lot of vending machine snacks sell because they’re used to get a person through to their next meal! That’s why energy-boosting snacks like nuts and seeds, protein bars, and healthy energy drink options are always hot sellers.

It’s convenient and fast.

Another great benefit of grabbing a snack from a vending machine is that it’s convenient. If you work in an office, getting something from the machine in the lobby is a lot easier to fit into your lunch break than it is to run out to a fast food restaurant. If you’re looking for a snack on the way to work or school, the vending machine in your apartment complex’s lobby is on your way. Of course, you don’t want junk food every time — that’s why healthy vending snacks like dried fruit, low-salt popcorn, granola bars, and beef jerky are perfect choices for your healthy vending operation.

It’s inexpensive.

People turn to vending machines because they know they’ll be able to spend only a few dollars and get a filling snack in only a few moments. If vending machine prices were as high as the cost of restaurants, they wouldn’t be popular! Including low-cost, high-impact foods in your vending machines like pretzels, single-serving nut packets, and shelf-stable noodle dishes and soups. You’ll be pleased with how well they sell.
