machines are not popular in India, stems
mainly from the lack of these machines

!
‡ Vending machines in the world are not
suitable in India because of the following
reasons:

‡ A branding and advertising medium
‡ Convenience for the customer.
‡ Vending Machine is a 24-hour employee
that never sleeps.
‡ The location of the vending machines is of
prime importance and an important factor
in increasing sales.
‡ The more machines you have, the higher
the vending machine sales you will realize.
 Vending Machines will help in
increasing the ³share of pocket´ of the
consumer if implemented correctly

Consumer Constraints.

‡ Water Vending Machine
± Dispensing water can also be beneficial and
can spread the awareness of vending
machines in every section of the society.
± This can be placed at every pan wala or in
rural areas, with Rs.2/- water packet
dispensing.

± Vending machines often
dispense packs containing
16 or 18 cigarettes,
although the dimensions of
the packaging are the same
as the equivalent pack
containing 20.

± But in Indian, instead of

dispensing pack of
cigarettes, lose cigarettes
will be more successful. It
would be easy with the
denomination of Rs.5/- for a
cigarette.
