Dear Vending Entrepreneur,

If you are a person looking to earn extra cash with your own successful vending business...If you want the best vending machines that will make you the most money for a reasonable price...If you don't like "surprises" and want to avoid making a financial mistake by losing your hard-earned money - then I would like to show you what you need to know to make sure you get the most out of your new vending business.

My name is Mike Burnett; I am the President of 1.800.VENDING. We are one of the largest vending companies in the world...and we do some things that are unique to this industry in that we eliminate many of the problems people traditionally face when getting started in vending for the first time.

In an informal study conducted with customers who purchased vending machines from 8 "reputable" vending companies, it was found that the vast majority of these companies offered their customers INFERIOR vending machines that they knew either had a short lifespan or are outdated and fading out of the market. These companies count on the fact that you don't know the difference. Low-quality or outdated vending machines are often sold for "cheap" prices and therefore the vending company is more likely to close the sale from their unsuspecting customer. But in a follow-up survey with over 100 customers who previously bought vending machines, over 90% said they would have paid more money for premium quality and a safer vending machine that will attract and generate more cash. If only they had known about:

1. "All Metal/Steel" Machines = Contaminated & Cooked Candy: These vending machines are extremely outdated. They were built many years ago before all the health concerns came out - yet, unbelievably, some companies still sell them. About the only companies that are trying to dump these problematic machines are "resellers" (see #3 below). The INSIDE of these machines - the casing that holds your product - is PAINTED. Why? It's very simple: the body of these machines is just one big piece of thin, cheap metal that they paint on both sides. They then "wrap" it and spot weld it into the shape that you see it in. You will find these machines are the cheapest on the market because they are the "cheapest" in quality. But what's worse - do you know what happens when products with salts & sugars come into contact with paint - week after week, month after month? It's called corrosion. Don't buy into their stories about the inside being "treated" to prevent this. No bulk product - unwrapped - should ever be in contact with paint, period. This is a serious potential health hazard and the last thing you need - especially these days - are customers consuming contaminated product...including paint chips. This kind of machine has also been referred to as the "easy-bake oven" due to its incredible ability to attract heat. In fact, this problem of "melted" product and what to do in "severe cases" is even addressed in the operator's manuals of these machines. These machines are infamous for their numerous problems.

2. All Plastic Machines = Numerous Breakdowns: All-plastic vending machines are not built to last, period. But they are a teenager's dream - snap off the plastic handle on the plastic coin mechanism and what does he get? Free candy! What's more fun than that? Burning a hole in the bottom of the machine (where your money is) with a lighter. One New York company selling this kind of vending machine sends out a nice information packet with a video. They pressure you and hound you to buy from them before you realize what their machine is really all about. Their BBB report is full of unresolved complaints - this means they didn't care to work out the problems their customers are having. When it's all said and done, it's your MACHINES that are the income-producing assets. Avoid all-plastic vending machines and the companies that sell them - regardless of how long they've been around.

3. Numerous Machines = A "Reseller" That Will Be Gone Tomorrow: Companies offering all kinds of vending machines are just "re-selling" whatever they can get their hands on - switching machines constantly. They don't know which machine is best for you because they aren't specialists. They had nothing to do with the development or manufacturing of the vending machines they are selling THIS MONTH. In fact, they usually try to dump PROBLEMATIC machines (that LOOK good on their Web site) for cheap, "rock-bottom" prices - doing anything they can to get rid of them. They will sell you anything and everything. They don't care which machine you choose - even if you buy just a few. Watch out for these kinds of companies that come and go. Even if they say they've been in business "Since 1431 B.C." Learn More ...

I say it's the vending company's fault. Every single company selling the vending machines above has the ability to use higher quality materials and/or produce a vending machine that will make you more money and at the same time eliminate all the problems. Why don't they do it? To cut corners. But their short-cuts equate to your losing money. Are you willing to risk making a financial mistake with such a company? The bottom line is, several companies claim that they offer the best return on your investment. Only one can be right.

Sincerely,

Mike Burnett, President
