Vending machines are the ones that gives products for coin that has to be inserted to the entry of money holder of them. The answer to the question of how many coins (one or two) have to be inserted depends on the type of the machine. These machines are used to sell things including especially gums, candies, little balls for kids, stickers, toys covered with capsules, peds, condoms though the variety of them is not limited.
When determaning the type and the quality of products, it is considered that the price of two pieces should not be exceeded 1 YTL (Turkish currency). Changing according to the type and quality of the products, the prices of the products that are sold in the machines are quoted below: Round gum for YKRŞ (a turkish monetary unit a hundred of that are equal to 1 YTL), little rubber ball or candy for 50 YKRŞ, stickers and bigger ball for 1 YTL, biggest ball, condom and ped for 2 YTL. These machines does not give overage of cash. If the currency change at the future, money holder can be changed and can be adjusted for not considerable amount of money. HOW TO EARN MONEY FROM THESE MACHİNES We can name the people who buy and exploit the vending machines as operators. He places these machines to the points of sales where he agrees with the person who is owner of the place. He accept to pay certain amount or certain percetage of money to the owner of the place. Determining according to the characteristics of the place it changes from 25 percent to 50 percent. That the machines are filled and money that is in it is taken periodically by operator is determined mutually by the operator and the owner of the place. For example, it is done once or twice a week in a certain time. The only job of the owner of the place is to protect machines and to supply the the space for them. Lets assume that 10 pieces of toys are sold from an individual machine one of which is 2 YTL. It means that total sale for this machine in a day is 20 YTL, and in a month 600 YTL. The owner of the place gets 25 percent of income. If it is assumed that the cost for every individual toys is 70 YKRŞ, Operater will get 80 YKRŞ profit for every individual toy in a day and 320 YTL profit per month. If operater has 10 machines, he will get 3200 YTL per month, and if it has 100 machines he gets 32.000 YTL in this assumption. Other taxes are excluded in the calculation of the profit because taxes are depend on other commercial activities. Lets answer the question of how much capital is required to get this income that is not possible for a person who is graduated from university. The cost of the machines differs from 150 YTL to 2000 YTL according to the types of the machines. Naturally, the machines and the products in it are required to be in high quality to ensure that sales are high. Additionally, due to the fact that there have to be certain amount of products in the machines, it can be said that there must be at least 1000 YTL to exploit one machine. As a result, it is possible to earn money that exceeds the cost of the machine after 7 months WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES ASPECTS AND DIFFICULTIES OF OPERATİNG VENDING MACHINES Advanteges: 1-Because, sales are for the cash money, there is no difficulty as it is a case for forward sales. 2-It is not a business like marketing. That is, Once you agreed with a person who is owner of the place in which machines put there only remains the job of putting the products to machine and taking out the money in it. 3-Operator can adjust working hours because it is not required to se on duty in certain periods of the day such as being on duty between 8.00 a.m. and 5.00 pm. 4-It does not require big capital like other branchs do. It is possible to begin with a few machine and make your business bigger after realising the fact that there is high profit 5-Operator can put his business on for sale whenever he wants with the sales point which is more valuable. 6- If the sales target expected is not attained the only thing that he should do is to put the machine to another sales point expected to be more profitable. 7- These machines works 24 hours though they do not demand wage. They do not require expenditures such as rent, electricity cost. 8- It is a fact that, these machines increase the sales of the points in which they are put. For example, in a boutique, the kids disturb their parents and prevent them from shopping due to the fact that they are get bored in time. Howewer, these machines that are exist in shopping centre, attract the kids to this place and the toy it would buy from the machine distracts it for a long time. DIFFICULTIES : 1-The only part in which you do marketing is to determine the points on which machines are put. Howewer you dont face with a difficulty because you would place the machines free of charge and cause owner of the place earn money. 2- To inspect your machines regularly: In this point, it is important to place the machines in the same area to avoid loosing time and to facilitate your supply of equipment. Howewer, If there is a big profit you can do business even in different cities. 3- The possibility for your machines to be harmed: That you would entrust your machines to an owner of a shop protect your machines from being damaged. TO WHAT PLACES YOU CAN PLACE AUTOMATS: SHORTLY TO EVERYWHERE. An automat propose various products that appeal kids who are between 4-12 years old. So, it can be placed to the places where those people pass or visit, such as: 1- The places at the opposite side of school, stationers shoops and other shopping centers. 2- Entrance of the shops that are exist in the big shopping centers. 3-Fastfood places. 4- Restaurants. 5- Clothing shops for kids. 6- Canteens in hospitals. 7- All the shops that are on the main streets. 8- Small shops that are on the appropriate places. 9-Holiday villages, housing complexes There is no reason for being so sensitive in determining the places because as it was stated before, it is enough for a machine from which 10 products are sold that cost 1 or 2 YTL to get a satifactory profit
