Or maybe an upcoming brand who just started and wants to reach out more customers?

5 reasons to do campaigns and branding with vending machines in Indonesia
1. Easier access, no excess.
Once you set your brand to be out there, you kind of want the products to be seen as frequent as possible. Seeing the product over the smartphone or computer screen may not share the same idea with seeing the product right in front of your eyes. Having these products on display, placed in the middle of shopping centres, will get the attention your brand deserves. A vending machine can display rows of your products without having to look up online.
2. Visually pleasing, no teasing.
The customized design on the vending machine can make your brand stand out even more. Say your products mainly themed somewhere in the blue colour spectrum, and you want your vending machine looks blue (no pun intended). You can custom the image of your brand with the vending machine. Make the machine looks yours, dare we say. The ideas are limitless. Put on huge stickers, a nice neon lamp, anything is possible. You can read more about customizing your vending machine.
