Preston, NE -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/10/2011 -- Vendingmachine.co.uk is one of the premium on-line catalogues of vending machine stockists and suppliers in the UK.
From hot and cold drinks to snacks this popular database has contact details for more than 700 companies. Not only that but the site provides an instant, free, no-obligation quote for a vending machine supply anywhere in the country - at any time of the day or night.
“We've already put hundreds of companies in touch with suppliers,” said a company spokesperson. "We're seen as a central hub.
Booking through the site just makes life easier for everyone concerned. For customers there's no having to trawl through pages of listings, while for suppliers it's a great way to get their name out there."
Regular listings on the site are free with suppliers asked to pay 15 for a premium advert, which results in maximum exposure including a quick link to the stockist's website.
With well-publicised cut backs already taking place throughout Britain in these recession-hit times, many companies are already opting to close canteen facilities and go for the less expensive vending machine option. It's meant a big increase in business for suppliers and a flood of traffic to vendingmachine.co.uk.
The spokesperson added: "Recently we've been pretty much inundated from both sides. Customers are keen to reduce their overheads yet still provide a service for staff. Users love the convenience of an onsite facility and businesses benefit from increased staff productivity, no more trips to the shop. And with many businesses now based in retail parks, vending machines are practically standard officeware. Meanwhile, suppliers realise their vending machines are in demand and want an up-to-the-minute, popular resource to publicise their wares."
Another reason suppliers are coming to the site is its easy navigation facility where they can add their own listing simply and effectively. This can also be updated instantly.
