Having a washroom vending machine can provide both a valuable range of services for your customers and a helpful extra source of income for your business. Finding the right balance in the products sold in them can sometimes be a tricky decision, however. If you run a bar or live music venue, it's unlikely that you're going to want to fill it with sweets or facial moisturiser for example.
Selling a range of products from your washroom vending machine is a good way to ensure it continues to be used. Public restrooms, especially ones at or near busy train or bus stations or even airports will often be used by patrons to freshen up a bit on a stop on a long journey. Selling some personal cleaning items like soap, shampoo or hair styling products can often be quite popular.
No one likes feeling unclean after travelling, especially if they have further to go after this stop, and time can be tight between connections making searching through a packed bag for cleaning products a tricky task. Selling the appropriate items in your washroom vending machine can give both the customer a pleasant, refreshed feeling without the rush of trying to find their washing products,
and can give you a regular income from your machine.
In the public entertainment industries; pubs, bars and nightclubs especially, having your washroom vending machines stocked with condoms is a very good idea to keep your customers both happy and healthy. With the numbers of people contracting sexually transmitted diseases reaching worrying numbers, making protection easily available to your customers will go a long way to keeping them safe. However, it can be slightly disconcerting to some customers - especially older customers - if all they see when they walk into the toilets is several vending machines offering nothing but condoms. As such it can often be a good idea to have a selection of other items on sale such as pain killers or breath fresheners in your washroom vending machine. Having a range of products in venues like this will both help you to keep your customers safe, while keeping other customers happy.
Ultimately, finding the right kind of balance of products for your washroom vending machine will depend entirely on their location. If the right products are offered to the right market, your vending machine will both provide your customers with useful products and your business with a steady extra income.
