When deciding what to put in your machines, what criteria do you use to choose the items? Is it price? Availability? Popularity? Or do you just not care and just want to fill up the "holes" in the machines? Hopefully the latter is not one of the pre requisites. I would always choose popularity and then price. Availability does matter to a certain extent but if it is to expensive and not available then it really doesn't come into the equation.
Many people ask me everyday what to put in their machines and the first items out of my mouth are always the ones that not necessarily sell best for me, but rather the items that seem to be bought in the store by the majority of our customers. I could have 1 big customer that buys 100 cases of 100,000 bars but that doesn't necessarily mean that it sells for everybody.
And then there are always those locations that don't sell anything that sells everywhere else! How do you deal with that? One of the ways would be to only buy "each's" for those machines but then you are paying a slightly higher price but at least you are not throwing as much product out?
Anyway, just a couple of random thoughts that I had going through my head this morning!! I hope everyone has a great weekend and continues to be the best Vendor/supplier they can be!!
