Customer Background:
Jayson is an entrepreneur based in a shopping mall in Manila, Philippines. In the past, he tried running a clothing booth and snack stand, but always struggled with labor costs and high rent.
Discovering Our Vending Machine:
In early 2024, Jayson came across our “DIY Phone Case Vending Machine” online. After consulting through our official website, he learned that this device required no staff, runs 24/7, and allows users to print their own designs—perfect for high-traffic locations like malls.
First Machine Installation:
In March, the first machine was installed near the entrance of a shopping center. After setup and testing, it went live. During the first 7 days, it sold an average of 30–40 phone cases per day.
Customer Feedback:
“This is by far the easiest business I’ve ever done. No employees, no need to be on-site. Customers choose their designs and pay themselves. I just check the backend from my phone each day.” — Jayson
Return on Investment:
- Initial investment: approx. ¥18,000 CNY (includes machine, shipping, setup)
- Break-even achieved on Day 24; average daily profit: ¥500–¥600
Current Progress:
By June, Jayson had already purchased a second and third machine, placing them at a metro station and school entrance. Each location is performing well with steady sales.
Customer Advice:
“Location is everything. Places with high foot traffic and waiting time—like malls, elevator areas, or school gates—work best. Once you find the right spot, the machine makes money by itself.”
