To stop customers from shaking your vending machine, it’s suggested to bolt the machine to the ground, resolve any technical defects, put up anti-shaking signs, and installing cameras. Let’s see how these have worked for some people.
Bolting Your Vending Machine to the Ground
Installing Anti-shake Images
Installing Anti-shake images, like the one listed below, highlights the risk and dangers of shaking vending machines. In fact, shaking vending machines results in an average of 2-3 deaths per year! Customers are less likely to shake the machine when they understand the potential consequences, especially if the graphic illustrates how the shaking won’t help in retrieving stuck products. Additionally, anti-shake graphics reinforce the professionalism and care behind your vending business, reminding users that issues can be resolved through proper channels instead of risky behavior.
Fixing Technical Issues
When customers encounter problems like stuck products, unresponsive buttons, or payment malfunctions, they often believe shaking the machine will solve the issue. By resolving all technical issues, you create a smoother experience for users. This reduces their urge to take matters into their own hands. Reliable machines instill customer confidence, leading to fewer incidents of frustration-driven shaking and less wear and tear on your equipment.
