Do you have customers that are energy drink fans? If so, why not offer them KILL CLIFF IGNITE, a clean energy drink that doesn’t have any added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
Since the first energy drink launched over 30 years ago, times have changed. Consumers in the 2020s want energy drinks that don’t have potentially ‘unhealthy’ ingredients while still tasting great at the same time.
Thanks to IGNITE, an energy drink that’s produced by KILL CLIFF, there is an FDA regulated energy drink on the market today that contains natural sweeteners like Stevia and Erythritol, sugar alternatives that are found in vegetables and fruits.
IGNITE also has Ginger Root Extract, a powerful spice that also has antioxidant effects and anti-inflammatory properties as well.

Today’s progressive vending operators are seeking non-traditional, high margin vending product to beef up sales at select locations. One such non-traditional product is CBD, which many claim addresses anxiety, insomnia and chronic pain. CBD is the non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. CBD has been federally legal since late 2018, however individual states may have their own regulations.
While research by Stastia says CBD is currently sold through dispensaries (40%), retail stores (30%), online (27%) and other (12%), one product manufacturer sees vending as a growth opportunity for CBD because of the category’s unattended retail capabilities.
“Traditional retail requires CBD, to be kept in a secure location," explained Alan Shetzer, co-owner of AnytimeCBD.
Anytime manufactures a US-produced, carbon dioxide processed line of THC-free CBD tinctures, salves, drops, rubs and roll-ons which are certified by independent labs to be 99.8% pure prior to packaging. He added a traditional retail clerk who opens a CBD case at a convenience store may not be able to close the sale because he or she may not have product knowledge to answer a consumer’s questions.
