Tokens – a way to get personal

Candymachines.com has the perfect way to let you get personal with your customers and to keep them coming back to your vending machines – Vending Machine Tokens.

Tokens have been around for centuries, and the first recorded use of tokens was in 1874 in South Africa. These tokens were made by Strachan and Co. and they were used as currency in a remote area of South Africa. Since then tokens have, and are being used in many ways. There are tokens used as currency, and in casinos, subways, car washes, video arcades and also vending machines.

The tokens offered by candymachines.com are the same quality as a US coins and are minted under the same quality controls, using the same type of presses as the U.S. Mint.
So the tokens last forever, just like coins.

What’s great about these tokens is you can let your creative juices flow by personalizing them on both sides any way you want. One side can be your company name and logo and the other side can have text or you can select from 100 different stock designs. It’s all up to you. Candymachines.com also furnishes artwork for your approval within two weeks from your order date.

There are 15 different token sizes, with the most common size being the .984 in diameter token used in vending machines. That is just a little larger than a U.S. quarter. And candymachines.com has coin mechanisms made specifically for tokens on most vending machines. Tokens come in cases of 1,000, and you can check out the standard designs today and be a business that gets personal with your customers!

A Smart Investment Idea

4 Column Sticker/Tattoo Machine - Click Here To Buy!

I bought the 4 Column Sticker and Tattoo Machine for my family’s restaurant about 5 months ago and have to say it is one of the smartest investments that I have made.

I generally refill my machine once a month but on a couple occasions my machine had to be filled twice a month because the sales had been extremely good with certain products. The products that have sold the best for me were the Black Ink Temporary Tattoos, the Ed Hardy Celebrity Temporary Vending Tattoos, the Hannah Montana 2 Vending Stickers, and the NFL Jumbo Football Helmet Vending Stickers.

Overall this machine has been a great investment and I have already made my money back for the machine and products I have purchased. That means that everything I bring in now is profit after I pay for my products to fill my machine. At such a great price why not invest in one of these wonders or another great vending machine!

Lots of people know that the vending machine business has the potential of earning you a high profit. But that’s not the only thing you should consider when deciding whether to start one or not. Before you start, you should understand some facts about the vending machine business. This will help you to have the complete vision of the business and its complexities.

There are many advantages of choosing to run a vending machine business, such as: low start-up cost, no advertising necessary or personal selling, no worrying about bad credit or bad checks, and potential to earn a high profit.

There are some other things you should be aware as well, you need to be dedicated. You must have a good attitude and treat the business like any other business. Although start-up cost is low, you should calculate the total cost to start your vending business: from buying vending machines, products to vend, paying for space to place your machine, hiring a vending operator (if necessary), etc. Also you should determine how much you are willing to invest so that you can make a better plan of the size you want your business to be.

In order to choose the best locations to place your vending machines, you have to do some research as to whether the location is well populated, whether there have been similar vending machines with the same products, and what are your competitive advantages in that location.

You should also understand that when you are involved in the vending machine business, that you have to do the maintenance yourself, including: checking the supply of products, making sure that your vending machines are working properly, and buying stock of products periodically. Also, are you ready to handle all the money matters efficiently?

Tips to Increase Vending Machine Sales

SuperPro Combo Toy Vendor Machines - Click Here To Buy!

Increasing profit in your Bulk Vending business can be easy with these simple steps. Don’t overlook their importance even though they sound simple. These steps will work to put more money in your pocket and increase your residual income:

Put out all of your Vending Machines – Most vendors I know have several machines in storage (usually several dozen). The more machines you have in the field the better your asset will work to add money to your pockets! Putting out more machines sounds simple, but this is a huge point. Get those machines out of storage and get rid of that 0% return on your investments!

Evaluate Your Route - Pull the lowest 10-20% of your machines and redeploy them in brand new accounts. Some of those machines may bring in $30, $50, or $100 per servicing.

Change Your Product – Try a different candy. Change the gum to a candy choice. Try toys instead of gum or candy if it is a place frequented by children.

Find Out What The Employees Like – Don’t assume you know what they like. Ask them! It only takes one or two people to support a machine and make it a good "bread and butter" account. Better to salvage an account by changing product than having to go out and find a new one.

I hope these tips make your 2010 vending year a much more successful one!

Tips For Starting a Vending Machine Business

admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:12:02 +0000

Triple Shop Vending Machine Packages - Click Here To Buy!

Here are a few tips that will help you with starting your vending machine business:

The item for sale can be crucial to the business but it can vary from different types of candy to gumballs. Product demand and profit margins are to be studied thoroughly for each type of product. For example candy and gumball machines return a profit greater than the actual product value but the sales have to be a lot larger or you need to have more than one machine in one place.
Once you have decided on a product you have to choose a good location. Where people stay or gather is the most ideal spot, places like lunch rooms, bus or train stations, and grocery stores. The location is critical and must be according to what you are selling – for candy, bouncy balls, and gumballs the best places are where kids may wait like in front of restaurants or at zoos.
An important thing to consider is the availability of replacement parts. More and more companies offer metal machines that are more reliable than plastic ones. Also the repairs are a lot easier and most of our machines are made in America so parts are easily purchased when needed.
It’s helpful to keep in mind that the vending machine business is related to the business that houses the machines and it should be a popular one – the more traffic by your machine, the bigger the profits will be. Before asking permission to place your machines, remember that persistence is the key to getting your machine located where you want it. Always talking to the owner of the business instead of an employee increases your chances dramatically.

If you put a little planning into it, vending machines can be a great business and provide a decent income in no time at all. So put your planning into action and get your vending machine business going!

5 Triple Vending Machines - Click Here To Buy

A vending machine business means making money! The vending machine business has an impressive 90% success rate. This is much better than the 85% failure rate of most small businesses. Think about the differences between a vending machine business and your average small business.

Many businesses fail due to lack of overhead for advertising costs, rent, and other expenses. Finding and retaining quality employees can also add to the list of problems small businesses have. With a vending machine business, your machines work for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing you to make money even while you are sleeping. That’s a great way to earn extra money!

With the recession the country is in today, there is no job security out there really, especially when 90% of us work for someone else. The only way to achieve the "American Dream" is to be your own boss. Starting a vending machine business will let you work smart and not hard to achieve what you want in life.

What are Realistic Profit Margins for a Vending Machine?

4 Column Trio - Click Here to Buy

Because vending is a numbers business and requires multiple machines, your profit margin will be based on your route’s average, not on an individual machine.

Bulk Candy Machines:
Example:
If you sold 240 customers a month (8 per day) then:

240 X $0.25 = $60
$60 (Gross Profit)
– $20 (product Cost)
$40 net profit a month

If machine costs $480.00 – the return on investment would be 12 months. No location fee is given, most non-electric machines are placed with a charity association, or as a convenience to the location.

Helpful Vending Machine Tips

Triple Vending Machine with Stand - Click Here to Buy

A well maintained vending machine will be used more often than a neglected one. Service your machine often and it will yield a bigger return. Keep records. Change slow moving products to alternatives. Spread out your route, it will bring up your sales average. Service your machine yourself and when you’re comfortable with it you may want to hire someone to help you. Check their work regularly. The more selections of products you put in a location, the more profit that location will bring in.

A colorful machine will bring in more revenue. Check with other vendors to compare notes. Try not to go at the same time to collect your money like every Monday or on the 1st of every month. You never know who is watching you. Try and go at different times of the week or month. It’s good security.

When approaching a new location, take a "gift basket" filled with a good variety of top selling items to distribute to employees. Be sure to include several business cards so that the employees are familiar with your business name. If you follow these tips they should help you vending machine business.

Starting a Vending Machine Business

Starting a Vending Machine Business

Starting a vending machine business

When I first started out in the vending machine business I really didn’t know what to expect. I thought choosing the machines I wanted was the hard part. Little did I realize that there is a science to picking the right places to put my new machines. Then there’s the sales part of the business, convincing the business owner that having a machine would increase their sales and make their customers want to return over and over again.

I thought that locations with the most foot traffic would always be the most profitable, but I’ve found that with few exceptions it’s the employees of a business who are the ones who use the candy machines the most. It doesn’t make sense, but it’s true.

However this doesn’t apply to sticker, tattoo and capsules machines. Those seem to do better in high traffic locations like supermarkets and convenience stores. I’ve found that the only real way to tell if a location is good or bad is by trial and error. I leave my machines at a business for a few months and then I know whether it’s the right place based on the amount of money the machine generates.

Then there’s the issue of where in the business the machine would be best located. You don’t want it hidden in a dark back corner where there’s no traffic. I had one convenience store owner whose only available space was in a dark hall by the restrooms. After three months I had only made $5.00, so I took the machine out and placed it in another business. It was a big waste of my machine.

That brings me to the selling part of the business. I’ve found selling a business owner on having a vending machine in their business can be easy if you approach the owner by just starting a conversation. I’ve found you really don’t need a script, the most important thing is being honest, confident, genuine and look the person in the eye. If the business owner says no, there’s always the option of offering to pay the owner a percentage of the sales. I’ve found that 10 percent sometimes changes the owner’s mind about having a machine in their location.

Placing machines is just like any other sales job. It’s a numbers game. There are always going to be a percentage of business owners who will say yes. If you talk to enough people you will get all your machines out in the world.

For more information about machines and the best locations to place them do like I did and contact the experts at candymachines.com.

How Vending Machines Bring Extra Income

admin — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 03:03:59 +0000

Believe me, quarters really do add up!

Vending as a second income

With the economy in a down turn and the price of everything going up, everyone is feeling the money pinch. Even folks who still have a steady job are looking around for more income.

If you’re looking for a stress free second income with unlimited potential the vending machine business may be just the right answer. For more than a 100 years bulk vending has been a source of income for people who like to make their own rules.

Actually bulk vending was popular in Europe years before it caught on in the United States . The first commercial coin operated machines here were placed on the subway platforms in New York and stocked with Tutti Frutti gum. It wasn’t until 1907 that the round candy coated gumballs were introduced to vending machines.

Today vending machines are found everywhere, and there are an enormous variety of items to put in the machines, all at reasonable prices. You can choose from tattoos, stickers, sodas, gumballs, toys, snacks, and chocolates, just to name a few.

Bulk vending is one of the least expensive and easiest small businesses to start up, and

there are numerous advantages to starting this kind of business. The gross margins can be quite high, the machines are generally inexpensive, the price of the vend can be changed easily, there are a large variety of machines and products, everything is portable and easy to service, and the big advantage is that you pick the hours you work and how many. In other words you are your own boss.

As with any business you’ll need to do your homework. Researching locations for the most possible foot traffic, and planning which products will do best where is a big part of your homework. Then contacting the business owners on having your machines in their establishments is most important. And finally deciding which machines and which products you want to vend.

Nowadays there’s an enormous variety of vending machines to choose from. If you want to go high tech there are flashy machines called Whirlers , and there are machines with anywhere between 1 and 10 heads so you can vend a variety of products in the same location. Or you might be attracted to the interactive game machines and Crane machines that are appealing to every age. Plus some machines are free standing while others sit on a counter top.

You can see the wide selection of machines at candymachines.com . While you’re there be sure to check out their business vending packages.

Moderator — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 02:27:26 +0000

Now is the time to be thinking ahead. The holidays will be behind us in a flash during this busy season and the ball will be dropping before you know it. Now is the time to step back and assess your goals for the coming new year. Are you looking for a new way to make money? A way to increase your income without the time requirements of a second job? A way to go into business for yourself without breaking the bank?

Start the new year by getting a foot in the door of a multi-billion dollar industry. One that requires very little investment, very little time, barely any effort, and is sure to turn a profit even while you sleep. Of course I’m talking about vending, how else could you accomplish all these things!

Celebrate 2009 as the year you ‘got into vending’, a memory that will be looked back on with fondness. One of those, “Why didn’t I do that sooner!” moments. All it takes to make the first step is purchase one vending machine, placing it and load it with sweet profit-packed stuff. From that point on, every drop of the quarter, every twist of the crank means money in your pocket and smiles for your customers.

Getting your start in vending is as simple as selecting and ordering a vending machine and candy and/or gumballs - just one machine gets you in the business, and they’re not expensive. Single vending machines sell for as little as $55 or you could get a floor-standing triple-head like the one pictured below for as little as $159 right now (a triple-head allows you to cover all the bases by offering something for every taste).

Triple Shop Gumball and Candy Machine

Add some product (like bulk candy, gumballs or jawbreakers), place the machine, and you are in business by 2009! With this minimal investment, you get the opportunity to see if the business suites your needs. Once you realize the potential, you will be clamering for more machines, more locations, more candy and more profit!

For upscale locations, where business owners decline vending machine placement, overcome objections by offering an upscale looking machine that compliments their decor. Bring the machine to their business to show them how good they look and how well the machine will fit with their business.

Vending Pro machines are some of the best on the market, offering quality construction and features like a convenient cash drawer which are preferred by professional bulk route operators. They can dispense a multitude of products and offer the reliability and value for successful vending businesses.

They are now offered by candymachines.com in six attractive colors; red, black, yellow, green, navy blue and maroon. This gives operators the flexability to customize placement based on the needs of the location.

For a more sophisticated look try the black machine with chrome stand, or choose black machine and stand to create a subdued look where the business owner doesn’t want the machine to stand-out.

Of course in typical locations red is a favorite and yellow looks great too. Choose green, blue or maroon to match location decor where that is important. With candymachines.com you can mix and match colors on the same multi-head stand for that attention-getting ‘pop’ or to easily distinguish contents. In a restaraunt location with thee heads, use green for mints (adult customers), red for candy (kids) and blue for bouncy balls (toys) as an example.

VP Triple-head

Candymachines.com carries all six colors, black and chrome stands, single-head, double-head, triple head and your choice of dispense wheels – all configured at time of ordering so you get what you need up front. You can even mix & match colors and wheels! The Way to Sweet Success

Starting your vending machine business

admin — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:53:58 +0000

Starting a vending machine business is a viable opportunity for anyone who has some business sense and a bit of cash on hand for the initial investment. It isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme, nor is it simply a hands-off investment. A vending machine business can be fun and provide a flexible schedule, if you’re willing to put in a little time and effort.
Vending machines come in all shapes and sizes and at all different prices. The general rule of thumb is to avoid cheaply made machines and make sure the coin mechanism (the most used and thus, most vulnerable part) is metal, not plastic. You don’t want to see your first month’s profits go toward fixing a broken machine.

Gumballs are the most popular item for vending machines, because the profits are so realistic and easy to see. Most gumballs cost about 3-4 cents apiece if you offer gourmet flavored gumballs, and every single one sells for 25 cents. That’s a huge profit on each one. Bulk candy such as Peanut M&Ms, Plain M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, Skittles or Mike & Ikes are also popular.

Locating is arguably the most important part about maximizing your profits. Many people who jump into the business buy package deals from unscrupulous companies and pay huge amounts for cheap machines and locating services that find poorly-performing locations. Most of these people get out of the business at a loss within a few months. Many locating services are scams or useless, so take care if you decide to have a locater service place machines for you. It can cost upwards of $75 per location, so it might be a good idea to place machines yourself when you first start out. All it requires is a short presentation to give to store managers/owners and a nice outfit. A lot of businesses may say no, in fact, the majority of them probably will, but doing the work yourself will save you money and may help you later. If you and the manager/owner develop a repertoire, you could find yourself with a valuable recommendation source of new locations, not to mention, your machine will be a lot safer in a store where the owner watches out for it.

A vending business can be an exhilarating adventure, but it will be most successful if you follow those guidelines and adjust as you go to what works best for you. Ultimately, if you are diligent, you will know the best techniques for securing the best spots and making the most of your profits.

Benefits of Charity Vending

admin — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:49:54 +0000

Many vending route operators donate a portion of their profits to charities in order to make it easier to secure locations and encourage location owners to allow them in. It’s a twist on commissions vending, where the route operator pays the location owner a percentage of sales each month.

If you choose to do “charity vending,” you first need to find a charity you’d like to support. Simply call to places you’d be interested in helping out and ask if they have programs for vendors to donate money, and if they have stickers available to place on the machines. It’s always going to be easier to place a machine if it’s a local charity, so that’s something to consider. Also, don’t assume a charity will allow vendors to use their name on their machines. Some don’t, due to unscrupulous vendors in the past or liability issues. That’s why it’s important to call before you use their name on anything!

It’s also important to make it clear to the location owner that you are an independent (for-profit) business and that you just give a portion of your profits to x charity each month. Don’t be tempted to mislead them and say you’re part of the charity.

Some business owners will be curious to know how much you donate each month. A good percentage is 10-15%, which you can tell them, but let them know that varies each month depending on how all of your machines do.

No matter what, please don’t mislead either the charity or the location owner. It’s okay not to share everything, but if they ask, please be upfront and honest. There have been many dishonest people lying about their affiliation or donation amounts who ruin the experience for everyone else, so please don’t join them!

Profit Making with Vending Machines

Moderator — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 02:59:39 +0000

The economy is in recession and you’re looking for new ways to make a buck. You’d like to retire some day (or maybe already have). Your answer may be in vending machines. Vending is a multi-billion dollar industry. Gumballs and candy in general are some of the most popular impulse items, and the machines work 24/7 in as little as 15 sq. in. of floor space. You’ve seen those little quarter-eating robots before, but have you considered their profitability? A typical three-head machine will pay $300 every time the candy sells out. From the classic single-head to the fun interactive style, these machines generate amazing returns with a minimum of investment and effort. One of the best qualities of this business is that you – the operator, are in control. Where else can you start your own business for under $100 and make a good profit. A Single-head machine under $60 and first load of gumballs for $35 will return over $200. After that, you only buy candy or gum to refill. Want to make more? Ten locations selling just 10 gumballs a day each would generate about $25 in gross sales/day, or $750/month, or $9,000/year – now that’s something to put in the bank! How much you make depends on several factors, but none of them require the time of a second job. In fact, with proper guidance, you should expect to tend your machines maybe once a month – to refill and collect your profit!
How do you get started? First, team-up with an industry partner like candymachines.com. They know the vending world, offer competitive pricing on vending essentials like machines and refill supplies and are genuinely interested in your success. They are a partner you can trust to help build your business with good advice, discounts, and prompt deliveries. Next, find a location. Remember the three-L’s of real estate, “Location, location, location”. You want high-traffic areas, more traffic = more sales. You may have a business (or friend with one) to place the machines. Profit sharing for placement is common in vending, offer to return a percentage of profits in exchange for placement. Another popular method is to adopt a local charity and donate a percentage of profits. Helping those in need while increasing sales and the securing a location is ‘Win-Win’. Position your machines in the highest traffic areas inside the store – they won’t do well stuck behind the cola machine! Now that you have a location, decide which assortment to offer based on the type of traffic. If there are children, maximize profits with gumballs, jawbreakers, candy, tattoos, stickers and bouncy balls. Adult traffic favors sugar free gumballs and chocolate candy.  Many machines have multiple combinations of ‘heads’, so an assortment of products can be offered. A three-head machine may have jawbreakers, sugar-free gumballs and chocolate candy, so every need is met for any age group. Want to offer bouncy balls too – get a four-head or six-head machine.

Now it’s time to contact your partners at candymachines.com for recommendations. Size, style, number of heads and dispenser types can be customized. Many machines can be re-configured on-site by the operator, but you’ll want the right setup to begin this venture without delays. Themed machines build excitement and sales in the right locations; choose the Meridian, Whirler or even the NASCAR crane for maximized profits once you’re established. Now you have it all together; a partner for advice and supplies, high-traffic locations, the right machines, customer-specific products and the means to grow your business in the future. Just remember to go around every month and collect your pay!

How to Succeed in the Vending Business: Part 3 of 3

How to Get Your Own Locations

Getting new customers is simple. You go door to door to every business on a street. Make your visiting fun! You will be most effective if you take a 15-minute break every hour. Make your first call at 9AM and your last call at 5PM. Take an hour for lunch, from 12:30-1:30. Take time to enjoy meeting people and looking at all the fun stuff they sell. Enjoy yourself. Some of the people you meet will be having bad days — don’t take their rudeness to heart. Remember. you get what you ask for, so ask for what you want! First, you want to speak with the owner or manager. Second, you want permission to put in a machine.

The secret words are: “Will it be alright for me to place a gumball/candy machine here” They will say “OK,” “No,” or ask a question. Over the long haul you will get a “Yes” every 15-25 doors.

When you are asked to pick up a machine never bring it back to storage. Carry it to the neighboring businesses until you find it a new home. If they say “No room”, ask, “What will I have to do to get you to want to find room?” If they say, “We already have a machine,” ask, “Would you like more variety?” If they say ‘We had one, but it didn’t work out,” then you ask, “What was the issue?”

Ask lots of questions and then decide what incentive to offer. Some examples are: a 30-day trial, revenue sharing, or helping a charity. The key to making the sale is to ask mostly questions and never stop visiting potential customers. As you work, you will hear a vast number of “No’s,” but the occasional “Yes” will produce income for years.

Everything is difficult before it gets easy. Re-solicit every six months because the prospects business is always changing. Once you find the way to make visiting prospective customers fun you will never struggle financially again!

Use a Locator or Find Your Own Sites

Just buying vending machines does not equal income-producing power. Income producing power comes from getting your machines on location and then keeping your machines on location. Businesses fail, change ownership, move, merge, remodel, etc. You will always want new customers. Find new customers by going door to door through local businesses, talking to decision makers who are willing to have vending machines.

Although many operators use locating services, be cautious of dependence on locators for the success of your business. A locator can help you get machines placed, but whoever fills the machines needs to know how to acquire replacement locations. Otherwise, your machines may eventually end up in storage.

Some ways to find good locators are to ask vending suppliers, look for ads, or search on the Internet. Ask for references and check them out. Good locators stay booked up weeks in advance so be prepared to work with their schedule. Be advised, when working with a locator you need to understand the reality of the locator’s market place. Good locators have many vendors wanting to buy their time. Consequently, they only work with the vendors they like.

Finally, find the time to spend at least one day working with the locator as part of your education to learn how locating is done. You will find getting your own new customers is simple work that anyone can do.

Advantages of Bulk Vending

The perfect vending business is one where life is gentle and the income is high. It is one with few complaints and no demands for instant response. It is one where the return on investment is high, and you get maximum dollars out of each machine at each service.

Bulk vending is the only vending business that has these wonderful characteristics. Other kinds of vending require being available for frequent 24-hour repair calls, the constant moving of expensive heavy equipment, and very frequent refill service, due not to being sold out, but because of the short shelf life of the products. In the bulk candy and gum business service calls are rare and can almost always be easily taken care of at the next regularly scheduled call.

Bulk machines have only a tiny percentage of the coin problems encountered in other machines and the pricing can easily be changed. Bulk machines are relatively inexpensive, require no special equipment and are very easy to move and install.

Last, but most important, bulk machine products stay fresh until it is time to service the machine – because it is full of money! This means you get the maximum possible income per service call.

Add in bulk vending’s much higher profit margin and you have the highest return on investment possible from a vending machine. In other words, if two different people each invested $75,000 in vending machines the one who invested in large vending machines will work harder, have more service problems and a lot more maintenance.

In contrast, the person who invested in the vending machines will have a much quieter phone, a lot less stress, and a much greater net profit.

New vs. Used Vending Machines

lindsey — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 22:22:08 +0000

Why should you purchase a brand new vending machine when you could buy a used one?
Buying a new vending machine is infinitely better than settling for a used vending machine, regardless of price differences. For instance, when you purchase a new vending machine for sale at candymachines.com, you have the advantage of a warranty should anything go wrong with your machine in the future, and you’re protected from being stuck with a machine you don’t like with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Purchasing from candymachines.com also ensures that you’ll always be able to call our customer service line for assistance with any problems or questions you have with your vending machines.

Purchasing new means you also don’t have to worry about a questionable past (who knows what the previous owner did to those machines?) or the chance of someone having a duplicate key to the cashbox so they can steal your profits. Most people purchase used vending machines for sale from a vending route operator going out of business or looking to get rid of excess machines, which means that in this all-cash vending industry, they’re going to expect cash for their machines. Purchasing a vending machine on candymachines.com, you can pay in other ways besides cold hard cash, such as with a credit card or through financing options offered by candymachines.com.

You won’t encounter unpleasant surprises with a new vending machine, like discovering your machine is mostly made of plastic or the gumball wheel is the wrong type, vending multiple gumballs at a time. Buying new vending machines from candymachines.com, you’ll know exactly what machine you’re purchasing and we’ll do our best to answer every question you have. If you DO encounter any problems, you didn’t just throw your money away. We’ll make sure the problem is solved and you’re completely satisfied with your purchase. We stand behind our products.
