In the business world of vending machines, ZHIGOU Technology has witnessed numerous customers achieving remarkable success and reaping profits through its vending machines. Here are some representative customer cases that reveal the secrets behind their successful profit-making.
Case One: The Campus Vending Business of Mr. Smith
Mr. Smith, an entrepreneur with a keen eye for business opportunities, decided to target the campus market. He placed several ZHIGOU Technology's vending machines around different locations on a large university campus, such as near dormitories, academic buildings, and the student cafeteria.
The first step he took was to conduct in-depth market research on campus. He found that students had a high demand for snacks during breaks between classes, energy drinks during study sessions, and even some small daily necessities for unexpected needs. Based on this understanding, he carefully selected the products stocked in the vending machines. There were popular snacks like crispy potato chips, sweet chocolates, and various nuts. For beverages, in addition to carbonated drinks loved by young people, he also included healthy fruit juices and functional energy drinks. And when it came to daily necessities, items like tissues, hand sanitizers, and small stationery were also available.
Moreover, Mr. Smith paid great attention to the operation time of the vending machines. Since students' schedules were quite irregular, especially during exam weeks or when participating in club activities, he ensured that the vending machines were operational 24/7. This way, no matter when students had a craving or a need, they could easily get what they wanted from the vending machines.
In terms of marketing, he cooperated with student clubs on campus. For example, during school festivals or club recruitment events, he offered special discounts or free samples through the vending machines. This not only increased the popularity of the vending machines but also enhanced brand awareness among students.
Thanks to these strategies, Mr. Smith's vending machines on campus achieved excellent sales performance. In just one semester, the revenue from these vending machines reached an astonishing figure, with a net profit margin of over [X]%. The secret to his success lay in accurately grasping the needs of the campus market, providing a diverse range of products, ensuring convenient operation hours, and using creative marketing methods.
Case Two: Ms. Johnson's Office Building Vending Machine Operation
Ms. Johnson, who ran a small business in the city center, saw the potential in the office building market. She installed ZHIGOU Technology's vending machines on several floors of a busy office building where thousands of office workers were employed.
She knew that office workers usually had a short break time during workdays and preferred quick and convenient purchases. So, she focused on stocking products that could meet their immediate needs. In the morning, there were fresh coffee capsules, breakfast bars, and yogurt for those who didn't have time for a proper breakfast. During the day, a variety of coffee drinks, green tea, and healthy snacks like dried fruits and granola bars were available to help them refresh and relieve stress. In the afternoon, when energy levels tended to dip, she stocked energy drinks and chocolates to boost their energy.
To make the shopping process even more convenient, Ms. Johnson ensured that the vending machines had multiple payment options, including mobile payment and contactless card payment. The operation interface was designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, allowing office workers to complete transactions in just a few seconds.
In addition, she regularly updated the product offerings based on the feedback from office workers. For instance, if a particular type of snack received a lot of positive feedback, she would increase its stock or introduce similar new products. On the other hand, if a product didn't sell well, she would replace it with something else.
Through continuous optimization and attention to detail, Ms. Johnson's vending machines in the office building became very popular among office workers. Her monthly revenue steadily increased, and within a year, she achieved a significant profit. The key to her success was understanding the unique consumption habits of office workers, providing convenient shopping experiences, and constantly adjusting product strategies according to customer feedback.
Case Three: The Community Vending Success of Mr. Brown

He placed ZHIGOU Technology's vending machines in several key locations within the community, such as near the community park, the entrance of the residential area, and the fitness center.
He realized that community residents had diverse needs, ranging from daily groceries to snacks for kids and beverages for family gatherings. So, he stocked a wide variety of products in the vending machines. There were fresh fruits and vegetables in season (packaged in a convenient way for easy purchase), household items like detergent and toilet paper, as well as a rich selection of snacks suitable for all ages, including cookies, candies, and popcorn. For beverages, he included soft drinks, bottled water, and some local specialty drinks.
To better integrate with the community, Mr. Brown often organized small promotional activities around the vending machines. For example, during holidays or community events, he would offer buy-one-get-one-free deals or set up a lottery where residents could win free products by purchasing from the vending machines. These activities not only increased the sales volume of the vending machines but also strengthened the emotional connection between the store and the community residents.
Furthermore, Mr. Brown paid attention to maintaining good communication with the residents. He set up a suggestion box near the vending machines and actively listened to their opinions on product selection, prices, and machine operation. Based on the feedback, he made timely adjustments to improve the overall satisfaction of the residents.
As a result of these efforts, Mr. Brown's vending machines in the community became an important part of people's daily lives.
