Organic vending was founded in 2005 to offer a completely new and healthy vending alternative. Our mission was to bring Organic and natural snacks into schools and business in the Capitol region of New York and beyond. In just two years we have placed hundreds of machines and that’s with carefully controlling growth and we recently partnered with Aramatic Refreshment a large vending concern operating in New York and Florida to help handle the expanded infrastructure needs.
Almost from the start we began to receive inquires from people asking how they can get this business model going in their market. To that end we are now ready to offer Organic Vending consulting.
Several months ago we received a call from Mark Conrad in Seattle who wanted to start an organic and natural snack vending business and was considering a company that wanted him to buy 5 machines upfront for much more than they were worth. In speaking with Mark it became apparent they were selling a “Distributorship” that was way over priced. The machines they wanted to sell him for $8000 actually cost around $4000 and the food was overpriced as well. At that point he asked if I would consult his start up. Over the next three months I walked Mark through every aspect of the business including....
*What kind of machines to buy and where to buy them.
*What food to use (We have had four years experience selling organic and natural snacks so we know what works and what does not)
*Start up marketing and how to get new accounts.
*How to get press and start up marketing that costs you nothing!
*Supply content for website.
*How to write bids
*How to get free samples
*Market tested Plan-o-grams (What’s in a machine)
*Help branding and logo desgin.
*Help set up credit card readers and remote inventory controls.
*Every aspect of running the business from accounting, product mark up, Sales materials, inventory control to Route planning, Tech help with the machines and what vendors to buy from.
