What Nobody Tells You About Running a Vending Business

1. Location is Everything

The success of your vending business hinges on where you place your machines. High-traffic venues like malls, gyms, bars, or airports are goldmines. But here’s the real key: it’s not just about foot traffic; it’s about finding engaged customers. Think of venues where people linger and need convenience, like a trendy bar or a busy café. A ChargerGoGo partner once said, "The right location can triple your revenue without adding extra effort."

2. Passive Doesn’t Mean Effortless

While vending is a passive income stream, setting it up takes strategic effort. From negotiating with venue owners to ensuring your charging stations are stocked and maintained, the work you put in early will pay dividends later. For example, regular visits to venues to gather feedback can prevent small issues from turning into big problems. Think of it as planting seeds that grow into income trees.

3. Leverage Technology to Stand Out

Modern vending businesses aren’t just about snacks and drinks. Portable phone charging stations like ChargerGoGo solve a real, everyday problem—dead batteries. Machines equipped with features like mobile payment options or seamless app integrations help attract tech-savvy customers. ChargerGoGo partners also benefit from data insights, allowing them to monitor performance and optimize locations. One partner shared, "Having access to real-time data makes decision-making so much easier—it’s like having a crystal ball for my business."

4. Relationships Open Doors

Building strong relationships with venue owners and managers can make or break your business. Approach every conversation with a mindset of creating mutual value. For example, highlight how your charging stations keep their customers happy and encourage them to stay longer. A ChargerGoGo partner noted, "Once I showed how my stations increased customer satisfaction, referrals started pouring in from venue owners." Strong relationships can even lead to premium placement opportunities or better revenue-sharing agreements.

5. Start Small, Scale Smart

You don’t need a fleet of machines to succeed. Start with one or two well-placed stations, learn the ropes, and expand once you’ve proven the model. By focusing on quality over quantity, you can build a reliable revenue stream without spreading yourself too thin. As one ChargerGoGo entrepreneur puts it, "I made sure my first two machines were in prime locations and running smoothly before scaling to five more. It gave me the confidence to grow smartly."
