Comparisons with Traditional Vending Machine Model

:
The EPC Station might be referred to as a vending machine, as it takes money (credit cards only), and ‘vends’ a digital, personalized ‘postcard’. However, the greatest distinction between an EPC Station and a typical vending machine, is that nothing tangible is actually given to the user at the time of transaction.

There are no printouts or receipts, therefore nothing to refill. So why is this digital product ‘vended’ by the EPC Station so highly-received and appreciated by it’s users? For 3 good reasons;

1) Again, it’s there where and when they need it,
2) It saves precious time and energy required for sending a traditional postcard,
3) The recipient receives a unique, highly –personalized greeting with the sender’s photo or talking video, on a high-resolution, postcard background.

1) No competition!
Unlike product vending machines which may be found in almost every public place, EPC Stations offer a unique service not found anywhere else.

2) No product refills!
Approx. 90% of the work involved in the operation of traditional vending units, is that they must be constantly restocked…..which means that you must carry inventory. (whether outside or inside the units) EPC Stations vend digital information only! No inventory, no overhead!

3) No special equipment required!
Operating a large network of ‘product’ machines usually requires the operator to own a van or truck, in order to place the units, and distribute the products, typically on a weekly basis. EPC Stations can be transported in a small car, and because there’s no inventory, there’s no distribution.

4) No cash Collecting!
Unlike coin-operated units that require frequent collecting and coin rolling, EPC Stations operate on a sophisticated credit card system……and because each Station is on-line, you can monitor your Network’s performance, from your own computer…….which means you sit back and virtually watch your profits come in!

5) Online Accounting/Surveillance:
Imagine the power of a vending machine to allow online checking of any machine’s activity out in the field. Monitor hour by hour its activity performance, get weekly or monthly tallies, breakdowns of the types of services are being ordered: epostcards, options, copies, hard copies, merchandise, Plus comments people are saying. Are extremely important in refining your network.

As a matter of fact, unlike most businesses, a successful EPC Network may be set-up and operated while working a full-time job or other business……..and all you have to do to succeed, is to follow the rather simple EPC Business Model..
