In today’s society, convenience is king. Whether in the cinemas or retail facilities, there is an increased demand for easily accessible necessities. This is where the washroom vending machine comes in, a discreet yet necessary solution that meets people’s most basic requirements.
A washroom vending machine is a dispenser that is mounted on a washroom wall that offers users a variety of useful products.
In this blog post, we will look at the advantages of washroom vending machines, products that can be stocked in them and which sectors they benefit.
Products to stock in washroom vending machines
Washroom vending machines can stock several products that could be of huge benefit to your customers. These include:
Nappies and baby-changing products
These products are high on the must-have list, especially in areas such as retail facilities and entertainment settings. If parents suddenly have to deal with an unexpected baby-changing crisis and the necessary provisions are not available, it will undoubtedly create a stressful experience for the baby, parents and fellow customers.
Hygiene and cosmetic products
Many people are unaware that they need a product until it’s in front of them. If you can supply products that make people feel better, cleaner, and more prepared for the day, you have a winning washroom. This includes products like deodorants, wet wipes, dry shampoo, and shaving kits.
Convenience products (plasters, tissues, combs etc.)
If you can provide easy access to products such as plasters and tissues in washrooms, you will boost employee/customer satisfaction by offering convenience whilst also generating profit for your business.
The benefits of washroom vending machines
Washroom vending machines can improve the restroom experience for your employees, customers and visitors. We’ve listed some of the advantages below:
Offering emergency provisions
Keeping babies clean and comfortable is critical to their health and well-being. Nappy vending machines serve to maintain hygienic standards by ensuring that parents have access to nappies when they are needed, especially in places where baby-changing facilities are scarce.
Enhance the overall employee/customer experience
Washrooms that allow customers to purchase things at their leisure without having to travel to a nearby store are beneficial to customers and employees. Customers and employees will be happy to purchase essentials on-site without having to leave the premises.
The importance of sanitary vending machines
One of the most essential provisions businesses can offer customers and employees is sanitary products. By implementing a sanitary vending machine into your business’s washroom, you are not only fulfilling your obligation to provide a full standard hygiene service but supporting the well-being of staff and customers.
Offering a discreet and convenient means of accessing products like tampons and sanitary towels demonstrates an inclusive culture and can significantly improve the perception of your business, regardless of the sector in which you operate.
Moreover, a sanitary vending machine is a worthwhile investment on multiple fronts. Not only is it an important part of a welcoming and hygienic environment, but it also supports the well-being of occupants.
Forgetting to pack the necessary sanitary products before leaving the house can result in an uncomfortable and stressful experience, but the use of a sanitary vending machine alleviates these concerns and contributes to a calmer and happier environment.
After all, the effects of menstruation are already difficult enough for women in the workplace, and there has been a historic lack of support in this regard.
Implementing a sanitary vending machine into your washroom facilities is a simple but effective way to save women the time, energy, and potential embarrassment of asking around for a sanitary product.
Different sectors that can use vending machines
All industries have employees, consumers, or residents, therefore washroom vending machines can be beneficial to businesses within all sectors. Whether your company is in the education, care home, entertainment, healthcare, or retail industries, washroom vending machines can improve customer, employee, and guest experiences by providing convenience, hygiene, and comfort, hence increasing overall satisfaction with your business.
