With the continuous development and progress of the social economy, China's labor costs are rising, and the labor costs of traditional retail stores are also getting higher and higher, but at the same time, the profits have not increased, making many traditional stores under increasing pressure. At this time, more intelligent vending machines reappear in people's sight!
As an unmanned retail terminal, the Vending Machine also has the advantage that the point distribution is very flexible, it can enter the corridor, subway station and other places that are difficult to reach, meet the demand for instant consumption, and does not need manual guard, it can operate all day, and has a very unique channel value! Although some traditional retail stores also have 24-hour services, their distribution scope is very limited, mainly concentrated in the commercial areas of big cities, and it is unrealistic to want a large number of layouts!
It is also worth noting that, as an avant-garde retail model, the vending machine has been loved and sought after, especially among students and office workers who are in a hurry. They do not need to wait in line after selling their goods, and they can simply scan the code to pay! Since the vending machine model is so good, what is the actual operation situation? Find the trace of the campus vending machine according to the facts, and find that they are mainly distributed in the areas with concentrated traffic below the dormitory and the teaching building!
The popularity of mobile payment has enabled the vending machine to complete an evolution. Traditional vending machines use banknotes or coins of a certain denomination for payment, and then change the machine, which is prone to card currency and currency shortage, bringing additional operating costs, and will seriously affect the user experience. Smart vending machines and mature mobile payment systems can solve these problems very well!
Although it seems that the prospects of vending machines are very good, and they have also shown explosive growth in the last two years, as if there is a trend to replace traditional retail stores, in fact, the vending machine industry in China is still in its infancy, and the speed of war is fragmented, but there is still a big gap between developed countries and vending machines! The rural population still accounts for a large proportion, and the population density is not high, which makes it difficult for the vending machine to be widely used in a short time!
