We all know the vending machine as a place to go for pop and snacks but a new company is hoping these machines will also become a go-to place for your flowers.
The first North American vending machine was unveiled by 24 Hour Florist Inc. at the 2009 Super Floral Show in Atlanta, GA. The unit is fully refrigerated, and allows the retail florist to advertise their business and sell their own customized flower arrangements on demand at high traffic locations like hospitals, airports, hotels, shopping malls and more. The kiosks are monitored 24 hours a day and come with software that allows the florist to see, in real time from the comfort of their shop, how fresh the flowers are, when purchases are made and if spots need to be replaced or filled. All customers have to do is insert their payment and the vending door opens and shuts automatically to allow the customer to pull out their arrangement.
What do you think about this idea?
