\"Vending<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

March 7, 2019 was NAMA\u2019s inaugural celebration of National Vending Day, a special day set aside to recognize those who make, sell and enjoy vending machines and the products they offer. Whether we realize it or not, the vending industry has played a role in our lives at one point or another, from the vending machines in a break room to the highway rest stop and everywhere in between. In fact, the impact of the Convenience Services industry, which the vending industry is part of, is larger than most of us realize and has had an economic impact of close to $25 billion. Now, that is something worth celebrating.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of waiting until March 7, 2020 for the next celebration, celebrate vending machines and your New York City employees every day. Consumers know what they want to eat or drink, and they know when they want it. Help them understand that their break room snack<\/a> and beverage vending machines are a great on-site resource.

New flavors or textures can be daunting especially when it comes to spending money. Encourage your New York City employees to enjoy new flavors and textures by offering a taste-testing event. Whether it\u2019s once a month or once a quarter, it\u2019s a great opportunity for your employees to experience something new, and you can learn which products are more likely to sell.
