General Questions
What is a pay-per-spray perfume kiosk?
Our kiosks are innovative machines that allow customers to purchase a single spray of high-end perfumes without buying an entire bottle. As a distributor, we provide these machines to owner-operators who want to enhance their establishment or run their own profitable perfume vending business.
How does the business model work?
Owner-operators purchase kiosks from us and place them in high-traffic locations. Customers use the kiosks to pay for a single spray of perfume, and you earn revenue from each transaction.
Machine and Product Questions
What types of perfumes can I stock in the kiosks?
Anything you think will sell well. We recommend a mix of scents from luxury and niche brands. It's advisable to stock women's, men's, and unisex products to appeal to the widest customer base.
How many perfumes can each kiosk hold?
Each kiosk holds five 50ml bottles. There is also a tamper-proof display case in the front of the machine to hold the retail bottles of whatever scent you have stocked the machine with. We encourage emptying these bottles completely before putting them on display.
How do I restock the machines?
Restocking is as easy opening the machine and refilling the 50ml atomizer bottles with a fragrance of your choice. We provide detailed instructions for restocking your kiosks. Our team is also available to assist with any questions during the process.
Are the machines easy to maintain?
Yes, our machines are designed for simplicity. Regular cleaning, restocking, and updating of the backend display software are straightforward, and we provide a detailed maintenance guide for owner-operators.
How much does it cost to purchase a kiosk?
Pricing depends on the kiosk model and customization options. Take a look at our product pages to see what works best for you.
What are the ongoing expenses?
Your main costs will include restocking your perfumes of choice, electricity, WiFi, and any location fees for placing your kiosk, if applicable.
What is the potential profit margin?
Profit margins vary based on location and fragrance selection, but many owner-operators see substantial returns due to the low operating costs and high demand for premium fragrances.
Are there financing options available?
Yes, we encourage using Shop or Affirm to help you get started with minimal upfront investment.
