Shifting Your Planet Antares Vending Business

Any vending business that considers expansion will need to plan its moves carefully. One of the first decisions that need to be made is to move your Planet Antares vending business into a separate building.

Most vending operators have opted to rent a section of a “strip warehouse” along with other small businesses. To shift your vending business out of the home, you should look at all the costs associated with it.

Account base
Make sure that you have a diversified account base. If one account represents a large part of your total sales, you could be in trouble if you lose the account.

Growth plans
It is common for vending operators to complain that no matter what the size of their business, their facility is not big enough. When you plan for a new facility for your vending business by Planet Antares Inc, plan for future growth and a larger inventory of machines.

You must remember that as your business grows, you will require more space for additional inventory storage. How fast you plan to grow and how long you wish to continue in your new facility will also bear an impact on the size of the building and the related costs with the size of the building and lease period.

For a successful Planet Antares vending business, you must control the costs, maintain adequate vend prices and manage your machine product inventory for optimal sales and route labor costs.
Concentrate on business basics

You must focus on selling high quality service rather than focusing on lower prices. Concentrating on higher drink product mix will allow you to have a gross margin above 50 percent. By servicing the machines only when requires, you can achieve higher sales per week per route. Obviously, this means having the proper planogram for each machine to allow it to be filled at least at the 50 percent point.

Location of facility
This is a very important factor that can make or break your Planet Antares vending business. Thus, locations for your vending machines need to be chosen with care. A lower cost facility in an area of town far away from your home may cost more money than a more expensive facility that is near your home.
