The Secret to Getting Vending Machine Locations
Common Venue Owner Questions (and How to Answer with Confidence)
Q: What’s my profit or revenue share?
A: Puff Stand pays you 15% of gross sales (around $4–$5 per vape). We cover credit card fees, sales tax, nicotine excise tax, and wholesale costs — so it’s truly hands-off income for you.
Q: How big are the machines?
A: Our wall-mounted Puff Stand units are about the size of a jukebox (3 ft tall x 2 ft wide x 1 ft deep). Use our Puff Stand Augmented Reality App to visualize it in your venue — or view dimensions on the Puff Stand Equipment Collection Page.
Q: Do I need any licenses?
A: Nope — Puff Stand takes care of all licensing, permits, and compliance requirements. Just make sure you’re aware of your local state regulations before pitching.
Q: Can minors buy from the machine?
A: Absolutely not. Every Puff Stand vending machine includes an ID Scanner that verifies age before purchase, guaranteeing compliance and peace of mind.
Q: How much do other locations make?
A: On average, locations earn $250–$500 per month from just a few square feet of space.
Here’s the math:
-
Average retail price per vape: $30
-
Commission rate: 15%
-
That’s $4.50 per vape
At 3 vapes/day (≈90/month), you earn around $405/month — with no effort required.
Q: What do I need to provide?
A: Just a power outlet. Puff Stand supplies a Verizon-backed cellular modem, so there’s no Wi-Fi or setup needed.
Q: Does it have to be wall-mounted?
A: Not at all. We offer a pedestal-mounted version for venues with limited wall space — same sleek design, just a slightly larger footprint.
Q: How do I get paid?
A: You’ll receive direct deposit or monthly checks, along with detailed sales reports showing daily transactions and commissions.
Venue Owner Objections & Smart Rebuttals
Objection: “My ATM or Game Vendor gives me 50%.”
Rebuttal: Totally understandable — but keep in mind, we have real product costs (≈$10 each). A 50% profit splitworks out to similar numbers. The difference is, Puff Stand covers all costs, taxes, and fees, so it’s a truly passive setup.
Objection: “I don’t have space.”
Rebuttal: That’s why we built the Puff Stand Augmented Reality App — you can virtually place the machine in your venue using your phone.
✅ See exact size and fit in real time
✅ Try wall or floor placement instantly
✅ Makes you look professional and prepared
Objection: “10% isn’t enough.”
Rebuttal: Fair point — but hosting a Puff Stand machine isn’t meant to make anyone rich overnight. It’s an amenity that adds value to your customers and keeps them inside your venue longer.
If sales average 3 vapes/day (≈90/month), we’ll boost your commission to 20% for that month. We’ll also send you a full report showing daily sales and payouts.
Objection: “Now’s not a good time.”
Rebuttal: Totally fine — I’ll circle back in a week or two. Timing is everything, and we’ll be here when you’re ready.
Objection: “I don’t like these products.”
Rebuttal: That’s okay — many of our partners don’t either. But they recognize that customers do, and this is about business, not personal preference. It’s an extra service that increases guest satisfaction and keeps people spending in your venue.
Objection: “I don’t allow puffing indoors.”
Rebuttal: Completely valid. A Puff Stand vending machine doesn’t change your policy or allow indoor puffing — it’s just a point of sale, not a permit to use.
Think of it like buying a beer at a gas station — legal to purchase, but not to open there.
And the real benefit?
Your customers who already vape won’t have to leave to find a replacement — they can buy one instantly and stay longer, order more, and tip your staff better.
Across hundreds of machines, we’ve seen no increase in indoor puffing incidents. And if it ever becomes an issue, we’ll remove the machine—no strings attached.
Objection: “Not interested / won’t talk.”
Rebuttal: No problem — always be polite, thank them for their time, and move on. You can follow up later or visit in person to build rapport.
