If I Ever -Have A Vending Machine

If I Ever -own a vending machine.

I'm going to make it an engraving/dog tag vending machine.

Where you simply select the style of tag you want, decide what information you want on it. Pay for the tag at the machine and then Engrave it.

It definitely would speed up the process compared to what we have at work currently where customers have to find the tag they want, pay at the register, then go to the engraver to engrave their tag. 

It could open up a ton of other possibilities too if I had an engraving machine with the tags already inside. 

Like I could market it towards other things as well.
Like creating soldier dog tags, 
or something similar to the squished pennies you find in souvenir shops.
Or jewelry accessories like bracelets or necklaces.

It could be fun.

So long as I made sure to keep all the options of tags in stock.
Which...I would probably create an app or something that's connected to my vending machine and I can check in from my phone or computer and see how my stock is holding up, and get alerted when a tag is out of stock in the machine.
That would be handy, for sure. Then I'd know exactly what I would need to bring to my vending machine to reload it up. No guessing or surprises when I reload the machine.
