Last April we took part in the College's Earth Day Celebration and we were welcomed with open arms. It was a wonderful day and event, so we searched out how to vend at the campus more regularly. So now once a month we go and vend and give 20% of our sales to EnAct, and on campus environmental group.
We set up inside the Student Union and we vend for about 6 hours, It is super easy to get in and out of the building, we live really close. There is a place to get food and drinks right there and we are close to the restrooms. All the things that make vending pleasant.
Add in a very intellectual student body who is engaging and you have a great day no matter what the sales figures are at the end of the day. October was not as string as September, but if I remember college, it was easier to spend money at the start of a semester than at the end of it when that money was gone. We also vended on a Monday rather than the Wednesday we vended on in September so that may make a difference too depending on class schedules and such. We are trying to plan for one more day at the end of November so student shave an opportunity to purchase holiday gifts and then we will be back in 2012.
