**Revolutionizing Non-Refrigerated Merchandising: The Merchant MEDIA Ambient Platform**
In the modern landscape of retail, where consumer expectations continually evolve alongside technological advancements, the Merchant MEDIA Ambient platform emerges as a game-changer in the realm of non-refrigerated, glass-front merchandising. This innovative solution not only enhances the way products are displayed and interacted with but also prioritizes flexibility and consumer engagement, making it a pivotal addition for retailers looking to elevate their ambient snack machine offerings.
The Merchant MEDIA Ambient Advantage
The core of Merchant MEDIA Ambient’s value lies in its ability to provide an extensive array of selections and configurations tailored to meet diverse consumer needs. With the capability to accommodate up to **7 shelves** and configurations that span **12-wide**, this platform can cater to a wide variety of product inventories. Whether you’re stocking popular snack items or healthier alternatives, the total selection range—ranging from **38 to 84 products**—ensures that there is something for everyone.
This platform is not merely a vending solution; it is an interactive merchandising powerhouse. The **3.5-inch screen and keypad interface** significantly enhance user experience, allowing consumers to navigate through options seamlessly. With an intuitive digital ad functionality built into the interface, brands can leverage high-quality graphics and videos to promote products effectively and engage customers in real-time.
Enhancing Consumer Engagement
One standout feature of the Merchant MEDIA Ambient platform is the **shopping cart capability**, which enables users to select multiple items before completing their purchase. This functionality not only streamlines transactions but also encourages consumers to explore different product offerings, thus enhancing overall sales potential. Furthermore, the guaranteed product delivery feature alleviates common vending machine frustrations, ensuring that consumers receive their selected items without delays, which builds trust and satisfaction.
Prioritizing Health and Safety
In an age where health consciousness is paramount, the Merchant MEDIA Ambient platform aligns with industry standards such as the **NAMA Health and Safety Control** guidelines. This focus on health extends beyond compliance; it also resonates with consumers who are increasingly seeking healthier snack options. The Merchant MEDIA Ambient platform is equipped with customizable graphics that can highlight nutritious products, thus helping businesses attract health-focused customers and drive same-store sales growth.
Retailers can take advantage of ready-to-go graphic design solutions specifically tailored for healthy vending. This feature ensures that even those without marketing expertise can present compelling visuals that capture attention and communicate messages effectively. By promoting healthy choices, retailers not only comply with regional health mandates but also position themselves as forward-thinking businesses that prioritize customer wellbeing.
Accessibility Meets Innovation
Adhering to the **2012 ADA height guidelines** is another key aspect of the Merchant MEDIA Ambient platform. This commitment to accessibility ensures that all customers, regardless of their physical capabilities, can engage with the vending machine comfortably. This inclusivity is crucial in fostering a positive shopping experience for all, enhancing brand loyalty and customer satisfaction.
Cashless Transactions for Modern Consumers
Additionally, the Merchant MEDIA Ambient platform addresses the growing demand for cashless payments. With an **out-of-the-box cashless option**, retailers can offer multiple payment methods, including mobile wallets and contactless cards. Embracing this trend not only simplifies the transaction process but also aligns with the increasing consumer preference for secure, fast payment solutions. As cash usage continues to decline, businesses that adapt to these changes will find themselves at a significant advantage.
Driving Sales Growth Through Interaction
Beyond just offering products, the Merchant MEDIA Ambient platform empowers retailers to create a dynamic shopping environment. By integrating digital advertising and interactive content, businesses can refresh their offerings frequently and adapt to changing consumer preferences. Engaging advertisements displayed on the screen can feature promotions, new product launches, or seasonal specials, ensuring that there is always something new for customers to discover.
Moreover, the analytics that accompany this platform allow retailers to monitor consumer behavior and preferences, enabling data-driven decisions that can optimize inventory and boost sales. Understanding which products perform well or which advertisements yield the highest engagement could lead to targeted marketing efforts that resonate with specific customer demographics.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Merchant MEDIA Ambient platform represents a significant advancement in non-refrigerated merchandising, combining flexibility, engagement, and consumer-centric features into one cohesive unit. Retailers looking to capitalize on the growing demand for innovative vending solutions will find that this platform not only meets contemporary market needs but also positions them as leaders in a competitive landscape. By enhancing the traditional vending model with interactive technology and health-conscious options, the Merchant MEDIA Ambient platform sets the stage for the future of retail, where every interaction counts towards building lasting customer relationships. The time is ripe for retailers to embrace this transformation and unlock unprecedented growth opportunities in the world of ambient merchandising.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned. We no longer sell new for the following reason: According to a recent survey of vending operators about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts do not make enough revenue to warrant the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts. Typical cost on new 'commercial grade' machines run as much as: Can drink $3400-$4800, Snack $3600-$4500, Cold food $7200-$8500, as you can see quite high compared to used or refurbished. Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing, not including sales tax or shipping in some cases. Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.
Start small and grow as you can afford it.Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge. This can hurt you financially if you are not careful. All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months. There are two main problems with the small mechanical machines. One problem is the machine does not make change or take dollar bills. The second problem is that the machine will 'work you to death'. Most of these machines hold under 100 products and can only gross $40 to $50 at a time, if the entire machine empties out. This is only the gross, the profit is less than 1/2 of that amount. A full size commercial machine on the other hand usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250 to $500. Remember you spend the most time driving to the location so you might as well fill 500 products as soon as 50.
