Locations? How do I obtain locations for my h.u.m.a.n. healthy vending machines, what type of locations should I go after, and how does h.u.m.a.n. help me acquire locations in my geographical network?

Your assigned h.u.m.a.n. healthy vending specialist will work hand-in-hand with you to create a location-acquisition strategy that best suits your particular scenario. We can either provide you with the necessary marketing materials to build your own location network, or for a small fee, we can set-up this location network for you. It's very important to note that h.u.m.a.n. will not approve the installation of our machines at any locations that we deem to be of low quality. We only succeed if you, our healthy vending operators, succeed, and we would rather spend more time and effort up-front obtaining the best locations available then rushing into locations which are going to be counter-productive to h.u.m.a.n.'s brand and harmful to your wallet. Remember, we will only approve machine installations at locations in which we feel will generate at least 20 vends per day. There are some exceptions to this rule, but this is the standard, and it should be for you too! We want your business to be optimally profitable!

"Selling" a location on h.u.m.a.n. healthy vending isn't too difficult. When compared to traditional vending services, h.u.m.a.n. machines are head and shoulders above the competition in terms of machine technology, machine appearance, product offerings, and commission pay-outs. If a location could be improved by the addition of a convenient, no-hassle food-service provider that improved the look and feel of their organization and improved the performance of their people, then they'll say "yes" to h.u.m.a.n. It's that simple! Of course, you need to have the sales skills and know-how to get the vending contract. If this isn't your area of expertise, don't worry! We can either help you develop your skills, or you can choose to do what many new vending operators do - hire h.u.m.a.n.'s expert location acquisition team to do the work for you!

A good location for h.u.m.a.n. healthy vending typically meets the following set of requirements (some exceptions apply):

2. People at location are wanting of health products (location is conducive to healthy snacks, foods, and drinks)
3. If at an adult location such as an office or health club, people at the location can afford products in the $1.50 - $3.00 price range
4. If at a youth-focused location such as a school or recreation center, people at the location can afford products in the $1.00 - $2.00 price range
