In this Video we'll give you easy-to-follow steps to make sure your school makes a maximally
successful transition to the USDA's new Smart Snacks in School guidelines.
After helping countless schools revamp their vending programs to provide healthful products
AND a good fundraising revenue stream, I know one thing: it takes TIME.
With these new Smart Snacks in School rules coming into effect in July of 2014 --that's
coming up fast! - I'm sure school administrators are considering cutting out their vending
program all together, just so they can avoid the fees, red tape and hassle.
But that's not necessary. You can increase your revenue, comply these guidelines and
experience NO HASSLE as long as you follow these simple steps.
Here are Five ways we can help you meet the new nutrition standards on time with happy
and healthy kids and, of course, happy parents.
1. First, Decide Now & Eliminate Last Minute Crazyness
Taking simple steps now will ensure you won't have to rush to comply with these guidelines
at the last minute. And, frankly, if you have a regular vending machine provider -- it's
unlikely he or she will be able or willing to comply in the first place. If you're currently
under contract, we can set up our contract to start next year so that you know your students
are taken care of and that your vending machines will be in compliance with the USDA by the
deadline of July 1, 2014. If you are not currently under contract, why wait? You can have a healthy
vending program added to your school seamlessly right now! The great thing about our Healthy
Vending service is that you won't have to worry about policing your vending machine
operator to ensure compliance - we police ourselves, and that's a 100% guarantee!
2. Second, Make a smooth transition & see steady commission income.
It's no doubt that most students are accustomed to purchasing "less than healthful" snacks
from your school vending machine, right? In my experience it's better to transition to
"healthy" over time so that students have time to get used to the new healthful products.
Healthy products have come a LONG way in taste and kid friendly branding. Also,our franchisees
can help by hosting interactive sampling events with your students. By gradually weaning your
students off the junk food, you'll see steady commissions and avoid a junk food vending
machine rebellion riot.
3. Third, Ensure you don't lose revenue.
If your school is like most schools, you rely on vending machine commissions for underfunded
programs. We're happy to provide plenty of references and case studies for schools that
have made the switch to healthy vending and INCREAESED their commissions. That's right,
we increase commissions. For example, we have schools in Texas and California that DOUBLED
their vending machine commissions after switching to HUMAN. Our contract with you can even include
a commission guarantee! Just ask about this during your consultation with one of our healthy
vending specialists.
4. Fourth, Showcase your school as a leader. It's no doubt that school nutrition is a hot
topic and something that has gained national attention. You can showcase your school as
a leader in providing children with healthful snack and drink options by integrating a healthy
vending program into your school before the deadline assigned by the USDA. We'll even
help you gain all of the positive press. You'll get brand new, high tech, eco friendly machines
too... just act fast to ensure that we still have machines available in your area!
5. Last, but certainly not least, Eliminate potential liabilities and fees.
The last thing you want to worry about is your school being fined for not complying
with the Smart Snacks in School rule. Not only is this costly, it's embarrassing. Like
I said, we police our operators and can confirm that the product mix in your machine on July
1st, 2014 will be 100% compliant.
