Healthy Energy Vending – Combining Two Billion Dollar Vending Markets

Posted on May 05, 2009 by Kel Sajid (CM)

Vending patrons looking for their daily health and energy needs can look no further than the nearest Revive Energy Mints vending machine.

"Adding vending as another channel to our distributors has increased profits greatly." Ryan Russo, COO of RyLo Products says. "The greatest part about the vending machines is that they provide for yet another marketing device that can attract and produce sales 24-7." The vending machines help get Revive Energy Mints into locations that would otherwise not sell retail products. Locations like break rooms, gyms, bowling alleys, and more where consumers would still love an easily accessible healthy energy kick.

The current state of the economy has done nothing to put a stop to the increasingly popular healthy energy mint. In fact, it has actually boosted sales. Revive Energy Mints give consumers the equivalent energy boost of a leading energy drink or energy shot, plus the healthy benefits of the world’s most powerful antioxidants: acai, mangosteen, and goji. All this at a price point of 1/6th an energy drink, energy shot, or cup of coffee. Plus, Revive Energy Mints also provide fresh breath.

Each custom made Revive Energy Mint vending machine holds over 200 mints allowing for route owners to cut back on servicing time. The distributorship program offered for Revive Energy Mints takes everything into account to make sure its distributors succeed. Logan Chierotti, CEO of RyLo Products says, "The more mints our distributors sell, the more we sell – it’s a no-brainer. No middle man. We set up our distributors with every tool we can to make sure they succeed. We offer them complete support with a personal coach, training, marketing materials, vending machines, location assistance, retail flyers, account management software, lifetime warranties on the machines, and more."

Originally, Revive Energy Mints were offered in an 8-pack retail sleeve along with the single-serve bulk vending machines but the single-serve program has been so successful to date, officials at Revive headquarters say they are coming out with a 2-mint retail specialty packaging. "The low price point is just absolutely dominating right now." Russo adds. Consumers are really watching their wallets right now and paying less than a dollar for a 2 complete servings of healthy energy plus fresh breath is just what they’re looking for.

Revive Energy Mints has quickly turned into a household name with its launch of a national advertising campaign. Revive Energy Mints has recently been featured on MSNBC, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, Investors.com, SmartMoney.com and The Wall Street Journal. It’s most recent addition to the national advertising campaign has been bringing on world renowned celebrity Eric "Butterbean" Esch to become an official endorser. Super-Heavyweight boxer, WWF wrestler, kickboxer and mixed martial artist Butterbean developed a cult following after he burst onto the Toughman Contest scene in the United States before entering the world of professional boxing in 1994. He was a five time World Toughman Heavyweight Champion along with holding the IBA Super-Heavyweight World Championship belt. He has been featured in top video games, movies, television, and radio with his most recent appearance on "Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling."

The energy market is huge right now and especially healthy alternatives to sugar-loaded energy drinks. Revive Energy Mints is capitalizing on this opportunity and is looking for motivated entrepreneurs to join the team and thrive with this product.
