Boost Your Property Appeal with Vending Machines

Picture this – your residents coming home from a long day, hungry for a snack or thirsty for a refreshing drink. Wouldn’t it be a game-changer to offer them a quick solution right in the comfort of their own building? This is the power of having vending machines in your apartment or condo complex. Besides offering a convenient solution, several other perks make vending machines in your building a mutually beneficial experience. Below we’ll go over those, and let you know how you can get started!

A Convenient Perk for Residents

By installing a vending machine, you’re providing an amenity that adds tangible value to your property. It’s a convenience that tenants will appreciate day and night, during a sudden hunger pang or an unexpected guest visit. And with vending machines being accessible 24/7, they’re the perfect solution for those midnight cravings or last-minute snack needs.

And before you think that vending machines are just junk food, let’s set the record straight. Gone are the days when vending machines were only stocked with sodas and candy bars. Today’s machines offer a wide variety of drinks and snacks to satisfy all tastes. From refreshing iced teas, sports drinks, and fruit juices to nutritious snacks like nuts, granola, and even sandwiches, your residents can enjoy a diverse selection any time of the day or night.

Strategic Placement

When it comes to enhancing convenience for your residents, the location of your vending machines matters. Think about places where people often find themselves wishing for a snack or a drink, such as in the laundry room. Another popular place is where residents and their guests may congregate, such as outside pavilions or indoor common areas. If your complex has a pool or gym, those are great choices, too! Placing vending machines in these high-traffic areas makes it easy for residents (and their guests) to grab a quick snack or a refreshing drink. It also helps foster a sense of community as these areas become mini-social hubs.

Enhancing Your Property’s Appeal

Aside from being a valuable convenience for your residents, vending machines can also enhance the appeal of your property. They signify that you care about the resident’s needs and are ready to go the extra mile to ensure their comfort. Plus, with machines that accept both credit cards and dollar bills (like ours!), you’re offering a hassle-free and easy solution for everyone.

Taking the Next Step

Whether you manage an apartment complex, an office building, or even a recreation center, investing in vending machines can elevate your property and provide a much-appreciated perk for your residents. And the best part? At Orsino Vending, our machines come at no cost to you and are serviced regularly. We also offer free consultations.

Revitalize Your Workspace with a Vending Machine Makeover

We all know that familiar feeling. You glance around your office, and it just seems… well, a bit stale. It’s springtime, and the world outside is blooming with new life and fresh beginnings. Isn’t it time your office space reflected that same vibrant energy?

EnergizeYour Office with Vending Machines

Consider this: A vending machine. Not just any vending machine, but a top-notch machine packed with whatever you want. From tasty beverages to filling sandwiches (and, of course, many types of snacks!), the possibilities are nearly endless.

Rather than solitary lunches in cars or at the desk, the once-empty breakroom can become a hub of activity and interaction. A vending machine (or several!) can transform it into a place where employees gather around the beverage machine, discussing the latest office happenings over a cold soda or a refreshing iced tea. It’s a spot where people can grab a quick pick-me-up during the afternoon slump, choosing from a range of healthy snacks, candies, or even a hot or cold sandwich.

More Than Just Snacks and Drinks

A vending machine can fundamentally change the aesthetic and atmosphere of your workspace. Its sleek design and modern payment options bring a touch of contemporary cool to any environment.

It also shows your employees that you are invested in their well-being. We’ve all been in a situation where we needed a snack but forgot to pack any. Rather than rush on their break or wait it out, they can now take a quick walk to the vending machine and find a perfect snack to keep their day on track.

Ready to Refresh Your Workspace?

If this vision sounds appealing to you, reach out to us here at Orsino Vending. We offer free consultations, provide free machines to locations, and offer both snack and beverage vending machines. And the best part? The service aspect. There’s no need for you to worry about restocking or maintenance- we take care of that, replenishing the machine with fresh snacks and drinks every month, ensuring there’s always something new to try.

Don’t wait; kickstart your vending journey today. Give us a call at (201) 871-9286, or visit our contact page and fill out the form to get started!

How To Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions And Still Enjoy Vending Machines

Posted on by

Many people decide to make New Year’s resolutions around eating better. Whether for weight loss or just making healthier choices, it’s always good to ensure you have good, nourishing food, with a few treats!

As many of us return to working in offices, you might be tempted by vending machines with sugary candy, salty chips, and cold sodas. While these are all fine in moderation, we have a few surprising tips to ensure you can stay on track with your goals and enjoy vending machines!

Keep Snacking

Yes, you read that right! Studies have shown that having smaller meals throughout the day sustains energy and curbs hunger. So, make sure your day includes breakfast, lunch, and plenty of snacks! Many offices have vending machines with healthy options– such as protein bars or even salads!

Stay Hydrated

Let’s be clear: if you’re hungry, you’re hungry! Never try to curb hunger with liquid. However, staying properly hydrated can help you feel better and be more aware while you eat. If you’re not a fan of plain water, you can add flavor drops or go with options like unsweetened iced tea!

Tip: while many think that juice is a healthy choice- it often is filled with high amounts of sugar and calories. Double-check what you’re getting if you’re trying to be aware of those things!

Treat Yourself

Another surprising one! Now, to be fair, we don’t mean every day. Sometimes you may need to resist the urge to grab a candy bar, and instead have some fruit. But let’s be honest- some days, the only thing that will curb that craving is the candy bar. 

The best solution is to honor your intense cravings- often, when people ignore their cravings, it later leads to overindulgence. So, if you’re going on a few days of craving the same thing: get it! Allow yourself to enjoy it, and return to your conscientious eating!

To ensure you have the proper snacks to keep on track with your New Year’s Resolutions, consider us here at Orsino Vending. We have everything from coffee machines to fresh food machines for sale! Our machines are equipped for dollar bills and cards and offer quick, precise maintenance. We have proudly served Englewood, NJ, and its’ surrounding areas for over 25 years. We know you will love your machine, so pick up the phone and call 201-871-9286 to get started!

Not only does it add a delicious crunch, but there are certain chip flavors and sandwich combos that completely elevate your lunch! Try these combinations next time:

Ginger Ale + Fruit Soda

For flavor like a root beer float, but without the mess of ice cream, try doing root beer with vanilla cola!

Whether they are grabbing a granola bar for some healthy carbohydrates to get them through the day or a coffee for an extra energy boost, a vending machine will give them the energy they need to initiate contact with a customer, negotiate and make a sale on a vehicle.

Inventive Vending Machines Popping Up Across the Country

Posted on by

Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to see vending machines selling things other than food and drinks.

This trend can be seen in larger cities across the United States with Tampa Bay, FL and Portland, OR being no exception. Each of these cities are home to successful vending machine companies that sell everything from hand-made jewelry to used books and even Dolly Parton pins.

Although we all love the convenience of being able to grab a snack or a drink out of a state-of-the-art vending machine, this is a fun twist that only continues to grow in popularity.

Tampa Bay, FL vending company offering hand-made jewelry

One of the more interesting vending machine companies we’ve seen recently is Lucid Vending. With vending machines throughout Tampa Bay and the St. Petersburg areas of Florida, they offer locals everything from gourmet dog treats to hand-made jewelry made from recycled materials. The jewelry is made by one of the co-founders of the company!

Their business began by refurbishing older vending machines from the 1980s and 90s and they continue to grow their brand with further selections that include art prints, greeting cards and even smaller musical instruments.

Mystery bags at vending machines in Portland, OR

Similarly, Magic Box PDX is a vending machine company in Portland, OR that offers an eclectic assortment of goods that includes everything from used books, vintage magazines, crystal growing kits and their popular “mystery bags”. Another of their more popular items that have been flying out of their machines are their Dolly Parton pins.  

With 13 vending machines and showing no signs of slowing down, we look forward to seeing the continued growth of this vending machine company.

While we certainly love these unique vending machines, our team at Orsino Vending understands the need for traditional vending machines as well.

That is why we offer vending machines, and all of the drinks and snacks to fill them, to companies throughout Englewood, New Jersey and the surrounding areas. Whether you operate an office building, car dealership, recreation center, warehouse or anything in between, we will be happy to handle all your vending machine needs.

Posted on by

If you have a vending machine at your place of business and want to have it stocked with a variety of healthy and delicious drinks for employees and customers, we suggest offering things such as coffee, bottled water and sports drinks.

These will ensure everyone is happy, healthy and hydrated no matter the time of day. To purchase these drink options for your vending machine, be sure to reach out to an experienced vending machine company to discuss your needs, your employees and customers will be happy you did!

Coffee to get employees through the day

Nothing kicks an employees’ productivity into high gear like a morning cup of coffee. Make sure that your vending machine is stocked with delicious coffee to get them through the early morning or when they need a pick me up in the afternoon.

Coffee is also great for vending machines where you may have customers in a waiting room, at a rest stop and more.

Coffee will not only keep employees and customers alert, but it has been shown to have several health benefits.

Espresso for those who need some spring in their step

Having espresso in your vending machine is great for caffeine lovers who need an extra kick in the morning, want to be alert for a big meeting or anything in between.

Espresso is ideal for those who may not have time to drink several cups of coffee throughout the day, and it has been shown to have several health benefits including the improvement of long-term memory, digestion, mood and more.

Bottled water for those who take hydration seriously

We all know that water is great for our bodies, but for many Americans, they do not get enough of it. One of the best ways to combat this is by having bottled water available in vending machines.

Whether your workers enjoy bottled water with their lunch, you want proper hydration in the workplace or a customer wants to purchase one on a hot summer day, it’s a great idea to have water in your vending machine.

Sports drinks packed with vitamins & electrolytes

Although some believe sports drinks aren’t the healthiest option, they are actually a great alternative to other drinks like soda.

Many sports drinks are packed with vitamins and electrolytes and they often don’t come close to the sugar content of their soda counterparts.

No matter where you have a vending machine, it’s beneficial to add these drinks to it. When you are looking for a trusted vending machine company to work with in Englewood, NJ, we ask that you call on us at Orsino Vending.

For over 20 years, we have provided our clients with all of the healthy and delicious drinks they require for their machines. Call us today at (201) 871-9286 to get started.

Consumer Trends That Help Increase Vending Machine Sales

Posted on by
Vending Machine

Choosing items to stock in your vending machine can be overwhelming. One tip that you should keep in mind is to give your potential consumers plenty of options to choose from. From healthy treats to savory snacks, you can’t go wrong with having a combination of these options. By focusing on one specific kind of food, you are limiting yourself to your market size and sales turnover.

Because the vending machine industry is always changing, let’s take a look at some of the popular consumer trends that have been known to drive up sales: 

Perception of Freshness

As consumers, we are selective on the types of products that we put into our bodies. Typically, when we go into the grocery store, we instinctively want to check each item for any flaws before purchasing it. However, when we purchase foods from a vending machine, it’s harder for us to inspect. If you’re a vending machine operator, try to make sure that the expiration date is visible as you refill the machine so consumers can conveniently access and check the products’ freshness. 

Experience

Purchasing from a vending machine is more than just satisfying your craving. It’s an experience too! Your vending machine should be up to date, with interactive buttons and displays to help attract consumers and sell more products. Believe it or not, there has been proof that interactive vending machines will sell more products than those that don’t. 

Convenience

Vending machines are great to incorporate into schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and other busy areas because they offer a convenient way to get snacks or meals throughout the day. Newer vending machines also offer convenient ways to pay for your food with cashless payment options or pre-pay methods. 

Product Quality

Brand loyalty is especially important in the food industry. Consumers are more likely to gravitate towards name-brand products that they are already familiar with instead of a vending machine filled with unfamiliar brands. So, as you’re choosing your next vending machine, make sure you’re finding a company that offers a variety of snacking options.

What Do College Students Look for In a Vending Machine?

Posted on by
College Students Drinking Coffee

College students have jam-packed schedules. After running around campus all day long, students need to make sure that they are refueling their bodies and stay hydrated throughout their day. With the limited time between classes, it can be hard for students to find the time to run up to their dorm room to grab a snack. That’s why many colleges install vending machines around their campus so students can have easy access to nutritious snacks and beverages at all hours of the day.

Here are some of the vending machine options that college students often look for to help quench their thirst and curb their appetite:

Granola Bars

An easy snack to hold you over as you run from class to class is a granola bar! Granola bars containing healthy ingredients are a great source of fiber and protein. If you need a little extra pick-me-up, granola bars are a form of concentrated energy and can help give you a burst of energy when you’re feeling sluggish.

Hydrate with Water

On average, you should be drinking about 8 cups of water per day. However, this number can increase or decrease depending on your gender, age, weight, and height! Lack of water can lead to dehydration. Even when your body is experiencing mild dehydration, it can make you feel weak and tired. Carrying a water bottle around campus will help you stay alert, focused, and hydrated throughout the day!

Nuts

When in doubt, nuts are always a great snack to keep in your backpack. They are filled with healthy fats, proteins, and their calorically dense, so they will keep you full and focused for the long day ahead of you. If you have a big test or a presentation, nuts are an excellent, brain-healthy snack to have.

Get Your Caffeine Fix with Coffee

Early morning classes can lead to an afternoon crash. One of the most used vending machines on college campuses are coffee vending machines. Coffee is linked to positive emotions like kindness, friendship, happiness, and calmness. Students love coffee vending machines because it gives them an easy way to refuel and recharge throughout their busy day.
