Changes In Plans By Planet Antares Candy Vendors

In recent times, changes in key supplier’s programs have forced Planet Antares vending operators to review their plans in the candy vending segment of the vending business. Already, they have suffered one round of price increases, only to be faced with another one now.

The frequent price hikes have made it essential for vending operators to rethink their buying plans for candy products. Most of them are of the opinion that they cannot raise prices more than they already have, due to the competitive pressure. On the other hand, certain vending operators have considered larger size bars to allow them to provide greater value for a higher price.

Although most vending operators are still not sure about their plans, they realize that there may be need for more changes to the candy bar offerings in future since the introduction of the glass front Planet Antares snac/candy vending machines.

Several vending operators are looking forward to increase in price points before they start offering large sized candy in their vending machines. You can consider selling lesser candy in your vending machines by decreasing the candy facings from two shelves to one and a half. If candy is not an important, popular product that affects your business profitability, this can work for you.

Of course, you need to keep aside a certain amount of funds for changing candy spirals to larger snack spirals. In the long term, this cost will be worthwhile for your Planet Antares vending business. You must also look for snack companies and suppliers that are willing to offer incentives in exchange for guaranteed placements.

Eventually, the profitability of your vending business will not be compromised with higher priced items. Initially, certain customers may complain about the rising prices of products. However, Planet Antares vending operators have found the number of such customers to be less than expected indicating a positive change in customer response towards rising prices.

In spite of these factors, large sized candy is finding popularity and huge market share and shows potential for great growth and profitability. Planet Antares vending operators must take advantage of this trend to ensure that their vending business will definitely generate higher returns and more sales.
