Which vending machine is right for you
Installing condom dispensers is not an easy decision for some businesses.If you are the owner or manager of anything from a pub or a nightclub to a restaurant or the amenities of a shopping centre then the question of what you should install in your customers’ toilets may have arisen.
In some of these fields the answer is clearer than in others. For example, people are used to seeing condom dispensers in pub and nightclub toilets. In places where alcohol is being drunk often to excess, and where people often go in an attempt to meet other people, it would be naive to imagine sexual encounters not being a factor of the evening.
You could almost argue that NOT installing condom vending machines in these places is negligent!
In other places, such as the amenities of shopping centres, the installation of condom vending machines may be frowned upon. This is because families are likely to be using the toilets and because a shopping centre isn’t a place than one usually associates with sex.
However, having a dispenser in places such as this which doesn’t only supply customers with condoms, but other personal products such as tampons, might be useful for people, without making parents feel uncomfortable.
Restaurants are another example of a place where condoms would be regarded as inappropriate if they were being sold on their own. Here, as in shopping centre amenities and in other public spaces, perhaps the key is discretion.
Discretion means that you can successfully supply people with the things they need without embarrassing anyone or making people feel uncomfortable.
A good supplier of personal products will be able to provide you with a range of options to suit your business premises, from the obvious to the discreet. They will advise you on every step from the installation of the vending machine to how to restock it, and even on what product lines your business should carry.
