Why should you care about investing in payment technology? • You think you are doing everything right?: • Right vending machine • Right product selection in the machine • Right price points for those products • Right service strategy so the machine is always full • Clean, filled, and working , yet…….. …You forgot the most important step
Can the consumer make the purchase? • When they want it, can they buy it? • Probably not if your only accepting $1 bills and coins. • Your customers have evolved • They like to choose how they pay • For low ticket transactions, they use cash a lot. • When they choose cash, can your machine complete the sale?
What consumers carry • Over 80% carry $1 bill or the equivalent in coins • Only about 50% carry $3 in bills/coin • 60% carry a $5 note • 40% carry a $10 note • 65% carry a $20 note • 72% carry at least 1 Credit Card • At prices above $1, only accepting $1 notes decreases your sales • Current US bills in circulation
Bill Recycling Value Proposition Lost sales • Consumers do not carry a large % of $1 notes or coin. Therefore a significant % of vends are lost thru coin and $1 acceptance only. • Enabling $5 , $10, and $20 acceptance captures these lost sales by matching the retail experience • Operators no longer need to be concerned with change starvation • End customers do not receive ‘cascade of coins’ 15.7% 23.0% 33.6% As price increases consumers ability to make a purchase decreases Expected sales lift, by unlocking the consumers wallet, has been confirmed in field trials Note- using $1.25 price
