10 Ways to Expand Your Flower Sales with HyperVend Vending Machines

HyperVend vending machines offer a unique opportunity to expand your flower sales across a variety of high-traffic locations. With our innovative, fully automated vending machines, you can sell fresh flowers 24/7, reach new customers, and enhance your brand’s visibility. Here are 10 ideal locations to consider for expanding your flower sales:

1. Airports

Airports have long been one of the best locations worldwide for selling fresh flowers, thanks to their enormous daily foot traffic. With HyperVend vending machines, you can tap into this market and also benefit from 24/7 exposure of your brand to the traveling public. Don’t overlook smaller executive and private airports, which can also offer unique opportunities. Find a complete list of airports in your area at OurAirports.

2. Hospitals

With over 5,000 major hospitals in North America, many of which have gift shops, there is a tremendous opportunity to introduce fresh flower vending machines. While only a few currently sell fresh flowers, most would welcome a proposal to provide them. A HyperVend flower machine in a hospital not only serves visiting families but also the thousands of employees who work there.

3. Shopping Malls

There are over 1,200 major shopping malls in North America, and more than 99% of them do not have a dedicated flower shop. This presents a fantastic opportunity to reach thousands of shoppers each week. Many malls offer special rates for vending machines and take only a small percentage of sales, allowing you to showcase your flowers to a high-income demographic passing by stores like Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and Sur La Table.

4. Farmers Markets

With more than 10,000 farmers’ markets across North America, there is a massive opportunity to reach customers eager to buy fresh, local products. HyperVend offers a mobile vending machine option that is easy to roll in and out daily, perfect for these vibrant markets that prioritize fresh and local goods.

5. Pharmacies

There are over 60,000 pharmacies in North America, including 20,000 combined locations of major chains like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid. While these stores often sell lower-quality flower bunches, many would love to feature a high-quality, local floral brand that resonates with their community. HyperVend machines offer a perfect solution.

6. Convenience Stores

With over 148,000 convenience stores in North America—80% of which are combined with gas stations—there is an enormous opportunity for flower sales. While some stores have offered flowers for years, the quality and selection have often been poor. HyperVend machines can operate on a pay-per-sale basis, meaning no rental costs for placement, and help elevate the quality of floral offerings.

7. Outside Your Retail Store

Many flower shops close by 6 PM, driving potential customers to supermarkets for their flower purchases after hours. Placing a HyperVend machine outside your own store allows you to serve customers around the clock, turning your location into a 24/7 hub. Integrate with delivery services like DoorDash to further drive after-hours sales from 6 PM to 9 AM.

8. Cemeteries

There are over 110,000 cemeteries in North America, and some, like Rose Hills and Forest Lawn, attract enough visitors to have onsite flower shops. However, most cemeteries do not have such facilities but would welcome a vending machine to meet the needs of visitors. With large operators like SCI owning over 500 cemeteries and StoneMor managing another 300, there is significant potential for expansion.

9. Garden Centers

With more than 20,000 independent garden centers across North America, there is a great opportunity to help these centers expand into floral sales. Most garden centers enjoy significant foot traffic but do not currently sell fresh flowers. Partner with local garden centers to introduce HyperVend machines and create a new revenue stream. For inspiration, consider Rogers Gardens in Newport Beach, California, which successfully integrates fresh flowers into its offerings.

10. Military Bases

The U.S. has around 450 to 500 military bases, ranging from large installations like Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Camp Pendleton in California to smaller outposts. While some bases have onsite flower shops, the vast majority do not. HyperVend machines can provide a convenient and accessible option for military personnel and their families, filling a gap in services on base.

HyperVend vending machines offer a versatile and innovative way to expand your flower sales across North America. Each of these locations presents a unique opportunity to reach new customers, increase sales, and grow your brand’s presence.
