Planet Vending has been short-listed for a Vending Industry Award (VIA), in the category ‘Best Ancillary Service to the Industry.’
You could knock us down with a feather.
We set up ‘Planet Vending’ to highlight the good news stories of the UK vending industry. We’d worked on the PR / marketing side of vending for some time and we were dismayed that nobody was trying to identify and showcase best practice in vending.
We’d seen for ourselves how effective and attractive vending can be, but for those on the outside looking in – facilities managers, caterers, consumers, you name it – ‘a vending machine is a vending machine and one operator is much the same as another.’
We knew that wasn’t so. So we set out to champion what we saw as the very best in vending.
And since our first day ‘on line’, 8 October 2012, (or ‘8-10-12′ as we refer to it), that’s exactly what we’ve been doing. We’ve been writing hundreds of stories for the vending industry and we’ve been doing all we can to get more and more people to read them and remember: if you’re a UK vending operator and you have a story you want to ‘get out there’, then Planet Vending will publish it and give it the full-monty Social Media treatment. For free. What’s more, if you have neither the expertise nor the inclination to take to your keyboard in search of the appropriate words, then we can find you a writer, too.
So, even though we’re still fearful of flying feathers, allow us to convey our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of our readers and friends of PV, and of course to the judging panel, for placing PV on the VIAs shortlist.
Thanks. It means a great deal to us.
