Guide: How To Find A Manufacturer And Supplier For Your Cigarette Vending Machine

Before you reach out to suppliers and manufacturers for your cigarette vending machine, it's important that you are fully prepared and have done your due diligence.

We've outlined a few tips to help give you a better understanding of what you. may be looking for, which will make your outreach process much more seamless.

Tips For Finding A Supplier And Manufacturer For Your Cigarette Vending Machine

Know Your Product Idea Inside And Out

One critical step to finding the right supplier is having an initial idea of what your design/product will look like.

Sketching is one of the most simple ways to get started in the design phase.

What's great about sketching is that you can practically do this anytime, anywhere - even on the back of a napkin.

To get started, all you need to do is pick up a pen and paper and start drawing - or if you are working on a virtual/software product this can be a diagram that outlines the user interface or experience.

Decide what type of supplier you want

You'll want to identify the type of supplier you are looking for.

Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself prior to searching for a supplier

Are you looking for a manufacturer to produce your product idea?
Do you want to find a supplier that can simply purchase existing products for you?
Do you want a drop-shipper to supply and fulfill orders?
Do you want a domestic supplier or an overseas supplier? Read more about the pros and cons of each here

How To Reach Out To Suppliers For Your Cigarette Vending Machine

Once you've found one or multiple suppliers, your next step will be to approach them.

Crafting the right message with the necessary details can help your chances of receiving a response with all the information you need.

Here are a few important questions to consider asking in your message:

What is your minimum order quantity?
What is your turnaround time?
What are your payment terms?
What is your sample pricing?
What is your production pricing?

Suppliers are bombarded with hundreds of requests every day, the majority of people simply shopping around to get the best quote. It's common for suppliers to take their time responding or not respond at all if they feel the request or message isn't legitimate or worth their time.

To avoid this happening, keep your message clear, concise and high level. You can always go into more detail in the second or third email with the supplier.
