Vending machines are not just for food and drinks anymore. I am sure you have seen vending machines that dispense food, but the vending machine industry is trending towards many other product offerings. The Sign Authority, Inc, located in Wheaton, IL recently printed and installed the vending machine graphics and the wall graphics for Vend My-T in Chicago, IL. The machine you see here in the photo, vends active wear t-shirts. This Chicago based company is growing by leaps and bounds by offering their high-quality garments to consumers in a vending machine.
What is it that makes the vending machine industry to attractive to entrepreneurs? For one thing, think about how little the initial investment is compared to a storefront? The vending machine featured in this article is found at the Block Thirty Seven mall on State Street in Chicago.
The Sign Authority also installed the eye-catching graphics on the wall near the machine, to attract attention to the machine. The simple red graphics on the face of the machine help to brand the vending machine, and also match the wall graphics. The machine you see here on the right, is located in a
different mall in Chicago. Because the vending machine is not tucked into a nook in the wall like the featured photo above, we put more graphics on the side. Malls are a great place for vending machines that offer clothing, but you might see these type of machines in an airport as well. There are companies that are banking on the fact that many travelers have forgotten an item, or just didn’t bring the appropriate item with them. The convenience of buying a heavier shirt or jacket from a machine appeals to many consumers. Customers want a quick, handy transaction so they can be on their way, hassle free.
