Editor’s Insight: It is incredible how many schools and institutions are switching to dedicated healthy vending operations. Traditional vending operators should not be losing accounts to dedicated healthy vending companies unless they are not offering similar products and educating their customers about what they offer.

Some vending operators have criticized VendingMarketWatch for reporting that dedicated healthy vending companies are winning business since they don’t believe the dedicated healthy vending businesses will survive in their existing form.
VendingMarketWatch doesn’t do its readers any service by ignoring what is happening in the marketplace.

The fact that dedicated healthy vending companies are winning accounts reflects a communication failure of more traditional vending companies. 09-23-11 By Elliot Maras
