Ipod Vending Machine


An ipod vending machine? How convenient is that! In nowadays, people purchase this product a lot, which every 10 people, there'll be about 8 people have an ipod in their hand. The Apple shop has considered about consumers' needs and wants, therefore they build up a vending machine to stock the products in.

How to use this ipod vending machine? It's very easy actually, just simply swipe your credit card and then an ipod comes out! Conversely, if consumers need to pay in cash, that might be a problem there. In addition, this kind of scenario makes up one of a drawbacks.

Nevertheless, they dont only sell ipod in the machine but also stocking in batteries, digital camera and other photo accessories, which an ipod mini and shuffle would be willing to served as well. The best thing is that you can buy it straight away instead of listening to those Apple sales staff promoting all the way through. It would be a waste of time, isnt it?

According to a VP of Business Traveler Services, "We've done about $55,000 in a month in gross sales just for the one on Concourse A. This is becoming the future for some high-end products in places like airports where space is at a premium." This is true as some people thought it would be another failing business, but this proves it not. As consumers are willing to buy the product, it illustrates this ipod vending machine concept is efficient.
