Why is Vending the Perfect Business for a Slow Economy?

April 10th, 2009
by Amy Anderson

You would be hard pressed to find someone who has not been effected by the current economic conditions. With gas and food prices rising and realestate and labor opportunities falling nearly everyone is feeling the financial pinch.

But how do we improve our circumstances? Are we really at the mercy of unemployment rates, corporate drifts, and a struggling stock market? Most would think it unwise to make a major career change when financial futures seem so unclear.

Many of us look for a solution in ways to add to current incomes. As we begin to look into different opportunitues however, we can become disheartened because as the economy slows buyers become more and more guarded about their expenditures- which can put a stop to the starting of many new businesses.

However, there is an excellent solution that can come to the rescue of any individual looking to increase income without wanting to take on added risks of economic trends. The solution: vending. Consumer research has always shown that in slow economic times buyers decisions to purchase are greatly based on price. That is why large discount stores do surprisingly well during hard times where as high dollar industries such as auto and realestate seem to flatten out.

You will discover that as a vending route owner/operator your sales are not changed by recession or inflation. For the simple fact that just about anyone is willing to put a quarter in a vending machine for a small treat despite financial circumstance.

Another feature that clearly makes vending stand out as promising new business is the low start up costs. With minimal initial investment you can start seeing profits in significantly less time than just about any other industry.

In vending the employees you have working for you are your machines. They dont call in sick, they dont ask for time off, they are working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You dont need to pay payroll taxes, workers compensation, or unemployment insurance.

You also have all the tax advantages of being a business owner. You can make deductions for mileage, food, travel, vehicle expenses, a portion of your house payment and utilities, etc Your earning potential with vending can ease the burden of any financial situation. Get started right away in an industry that is safe from the economic storms that could be holding you back.

Breaking Free From the Rat Race

March 21st, 2009
by Amy Anderson

Are you going to work everyday and giving a solid effort and just feel like you are not getting ahead? Thats why they call it the rat race. Its a continual routine of hectic competitive activity that essentially gets you nowhere. You are simply trading time for money and the cycle can go on and on.

To make things even more bleak every time you are exposed to the media you hear terms like: recession, high unemployment rates, real-estate values plummeting, no end in site, etc So what do most people do in times like this? They jump right back into the rat race and turn the wheel a little faster. Who can blame them? Its pretty hard to convince yourself to walk a way from a steady paycheck when everything around you seems so uncertain.

Thankfully there are a few things that you can count on. And one of those things is that here at U-Turn we have discovered a better way. A way to break free of the rat race with out the paralyzing fear that usually comes with a big career change. Vending is the perfect opportunity to begin while maintaining your current job.

Anyone who has studied finance will tell you that the only way to really escape the rat race is to earn passive income. Money that is coming in that you dont have to spend time actively earning. Well as a vending route owner you can be at your current job or at the beach, it doesnt matter where you are your vending machines will still be working for you. Generating income with out costing you all of your time.

There are 3 steps to building wealth and the business model for vending fits perfectly with them. In fact we have seen hundreds of people follow these simple steps when applied to vending and achieve their financial dreams.

Step 1- Make It. You have to begin by generating income, enough income that will cover your current expenses and then some. The average income, according to the Department of Labor Statistics, of a Snack Vender Owner/Operator is $70.58 per hour. And the exciting part is your machines trade their time for that money not you.

Step 2- Save It. Once you create enough income to cover your expenses and your earnings begin to add up, you have what is called discretionary income. Discretionary income is in small supply for rats. But for U-Turn vending route owners who apply proven principles, discretionary income leads to step 3. Which… leads to more discretionary income.

Step 3- Invest It. This is where the true freedom starts. Income from investments is usually all passive income. That means you work hard to earn it. Your time is yours to keep. And your money is working for you. Now the question is where to invest. Common sense tells us to put your money into something that has a historically proven return on investment. So naturally a simple formula that has worked for literally tens of thousands of our customers is: purchase vending machines-collect income-purchase more vending machines- collect more income!

Current economic circumstances do call for a conservative approach and minimizing financial risks. With minimal start up cost, small time demands, and a product that consumers will purchase regardless or their economic conditions ( who doesnt put a 25 cents in a candy machine, regardless of the size of their paycheck) vending is the ideal venture to get you to a place financially were economic rollercoasters dont effect you, anymore.
