Optimizing our Los Angeles micro-markets

At Premier VendGroup, we’re always exploring new ideas to enhance our refreshments services. That’s why we recently welcomed Colin to the team. His job is to use data to improve our micro-market products and sales in Los Angeles and Southern California.  Ideally, these improvements will offer our customers a better experience. And, we’ll have less waste and fewer expired products at each micro-market. By using data, we will improve the customers’ experience at our micro-markets.

What are micro-markets?

Micro-markets are unmanned retail spaces where customers can buy a variety of foods, drinks, and snacks. Our team installs the micro-market at the client’s workplace in the break room.  We also install cameras for security purposes. Customers purchase products at a self-checkout kiosk using credit cards, mobile wallets, or cash. Micro-markets are open 24/7. This makes them convenient for customers no matter how early or late they work. The business benefits because employees can eat meals and snacks on-site. And, this can lead to increased productivity. Employees can save money because they don’t have to leave work to buy refreshments. Micro-markets are a big and important part of our business. Therefore, we must improve them for our customers.

3 ideas to optimize Los Angeles micro-markets

It’s important that we test and try different ideas to enhance our micro-markets.  Here are three we can implement now.

  • Review products that are not selling and replace them with a different product in the same category. For instance, if regular milk is not selling, we may replace it with another nut-based milk.
  • Colin will build relationships with the Premier VendGroup route drivers to get their feedback. After all, they interact with customers every week. They know which products customers are excited about and buy. The route drivers get this feedback while stocking the micro-market.
  • Colin will keep his ‘finger on the pulse’ and test products that the general public is excited about.

Data-driven decisions for Los Angeles micro-markets

In addition, we will also look at demographics to further optimize our product mix. For example, we looked at some data and found a few interesting insights. We noticed that businesses with Millenials and Generation Z employees want energy drinks in their micro-markets. However, businesses with Generation X employees want tea, enhanced water, or naked juices. For this second group, we may offer tea through our Los Angeles office coffee services.  In the future, we will look at more of this type of data to customize each micro-market to that particular group of customers.

To keep the micro-markets exciting for our customers, we’re also looking to introduce new products. In fact, we often add new items to our Los Angeles vending and other services. Our inspirations come from many places. We look at products that are “trendy” or popular at the moment. We will also look at local and healthy products to add to the mix since we serve Los Angeles and Southern California.

Benefits of a tailored approach

A tailored approach to each of our micro-markets has many benefits.

  • We provide a better experience for customers because we’ll offer the products they want.
  • We decrease the number of expired products in the market. No one likes to see expired food when they are shopping.
  • Ideally, we will increase sales and revenue for our company.

Enhance the customer experience

To sum up, our goal is to provide customers with the best mix of foods, snacks, and drinks in the micro-market.  We know that we can increase the levels of engagement in the micro-markets if we optimize our product mix. At end of the day, it’s all about providing the best customer experience.

September is #BetterBreakFastMonth and we’re here for it. That’s why we’ve dedicated this blog to the importance of breakfast. After all, it is the most important meal of the day. In fact, eating breakfast can help your heart, digestion, bones, and more. Furthermore, it helps boost your energy levels and keep your metabolism up for the day. People enjoy different foods for breakfast and it is so versatile that you can eat it for lunch or dinner and some people do!

An “eggtastic” breakfast

Eggs are one of the most popular breakfast foods and can be prepared in many ways. Whether you like them scrambled, hard-boiled, or sunny side up, they are delicious and nutritious. You can enjoy eggs in our Los Angeles micro-market in a breakfast burrito or sandwich to get a protein kick to keep you full and satisfied throughout the morning. In the near future, we are looking to expand our breakfast offerings including more egg options.

You don’t need to be Greek to enjoy yogurt

If you’re looking for lighter fare, why not try a yogurt and granola breakfast? It’s high in protein, calcium, vitamins, and probiotics, and great for gut microbiota.  Through our office pantry service, you can enjoy the health benefits that come with a yogurt and granola breakfast. However, if don’t want granola, then try our cereals with fresh milk. Your employees can enjoy convenient grab-and-go options like cereal, parfait, oatmeal, and granola through our Los Angeles office pantry service. Most importantly, it’s a great way to show busy employees that they are valued and appreciated in the office.

Fruit is a great option

For those looking for lighter fare in the morning, fruit is a refreshing way to start your day.  Eating fruits has many benefits. They are a source of essential vitamins and minerals and are high in fiber. Fruits provide many health benefits and can reduce a person’s risk of developing heart disease, inflammation, and diabetes. Get your fill of fruits at the office through our Los Angeles food vending machines.

Breakfast has its benefits

Breakfast is such an essential part of the day. And, if you’re still not convinced, these reasons may help change your mind.

  • Give your body plenty of essential nutrients.
  • Boost brainpower and improve concentration.
  • Prevent weight gain and avoid higher-calorie foods later in the day.
  • Eggs are packed with protein, vitamins, and antioxidants which help you maintain healthy skin.
  • Increase your energy and avoid a mid-morning slump.

Is it even a complete breakfast without a hot beverage?

In our humble opinion, a delicious breakfast should include a soothing hot beverage. Indulge in your breakfast with a gourmet cup of coffee or tea with our Los Angeles office coffee and tea service. We customize our service to meet the needs of your Los Angeles office whether you’re looking for traditional,  single-cup, or bean-to-cup coffee brewers.

To sum up, at Premier VendGroup, we love breakfast!  Set aside time in the morning to enjoy it at the office and fuel up for your day.
