The vending machine sells more than just a drink

In essence, drinks vending machine is not the so-called 'new retail', but the brand under the background of urbanization the effective ways to expand channels. In recent years, because of the population, consumption, media, Internet, competitive disadvantage factors such as integration and empathy, procter & gamble, Coca-Cola, nestle, master kong, wahaha fast at the international and domestic consumption giants have undergone a fraud. Sales continue to decline. A growing number of fast moving consumer goods companies are actively expand new channels, especially the self-construction of the vending machine industry and direct control.

Products and advertising) , you can listen to ( News and opinion) , you can buy ( Convenient channel) , you can buy ( Reasonable price) 。 Coca-Cola in global retail group deployment automatically at least can 'see' and 'can buy' two aspects. In this era of 'channel is king', a vending machine not only expand the product sales channels, and expand the product information advertising channels, and the latter makes more sense.
