Editor’s Insight: Vending operators need to read this interview. It’s about what is happening to all retail channels, including vending.

It’s also good news for vending. Mobile shopping changes the buying experience. When the vending purchase becomes a mobile shopping experience that engages the consumer with a sense that they are getting the best value for their money, the experience is about a lot more than just the price.
