Locator services- how to find the good ones

For many of you who are unaware of the concept of locator services, here is a brief definition. A vending locator service is a company that helps you to find locations for your vending machines. Some locators work exclusively by phone and other locating services go from business to business and personally convince the businesses to work with you.

There is one major problem with locating services that they get paid by the location. They don’t make anything extra for finding good locations. Another problem is that they usually charge the money before you can determine if the location is good or bad. Many of them make fake promises. Besides the fact that most locator services fail to deliver, find out answers to the following questions from a locator service and then decide which locator to choose:

• What does the locator charge?
• What happens if a location doesn’t perform?
• How long has the locator been in business?
• How does the locator finds locations?
• Where is the locator’s business based?
• Does the locator use contracts with the locations?
• Can the locator put his commitments in writing?
• How quickly can the locator find you locations?

It is very important to take out a research in order to find a good vending locator. You can also go and ask established vendors if they used vending locator services and how satisfied they were with the service and what kind of locations they got for their machines.
