and everything is recorded on your school vending website. Albany High
School in Albany California increased their vending sales from $8,000 annually to over $40,000 annually through two web managed vending
machines that replaced two machines previously loaned by a beverage
distributor.

5. Combination Marketing can increase total sales. Harness the power of

a drive-thru window for your school vending machines, but you can offer
several discounted combo purchases like a sandwich in coil #10 with a
baked chip in coil #23 and a chocolate milk in selection 55.
6. Guaranteed Product Delivery means no one loses their money in the
vending machines. Infrared sensors crisscross the delivery bin that will
not allow a credit to be cancelled until the selected product passes through
the light beams. Even if someone selects an empty column their credit will still be available after two unsuccessful rotations conclude.
