It seems that 2011 started with all the pressure from the commodity side of life. Manafacturers have had to start moving prices upward again. It seems that everything from petroleum, sugar, cocoa to packaging have had to serve price increases in the last year. Manufacturers had done their due diligence, trying to shave every increase to minimize any impact to the public, but to no avail. The vending industry has to move prices upward to recover the impact of these increases, which will have effects upon each operator. If the operator will not stay up with the rising cost factors that hit us all they will be left behind.
Thankfully, we have a couple of opportunities to take advantage of some cost savings with our Annual Spring/Fall Buying events that act like a SHOW "NO SHOW"! We strive to save you as much money as we can by focusing on cost reductions instead of fine dining and peripherals.
The Spring buying event starts March 28th and runs through April 29th. Most Manufacturers have stepped up and offered several cost saving ideas to make your machine selections more exciting!
The Fall buying event will incorporate new items and savings that start from August 22nd and run through September 30th.
We hope to offer these these events as great opportunity to fight rising costs.
Look for an email this week about the Spring Event and send back your completed form by March 21st to take advantage of great saving.
Thanks from everyone on the Vend Northwest team, stay positive and we wll all get through this together!
