00:00Look at this business. It's an automated shoe polishing machine.
00:03Wearing clean shoes isn't a luxury, it's a daily necessity, which means the demand is always there.
00:09These units have dual rotating brushes on the sides and a liquid polish dispenser right in the center.
00:14You just slide your shoe in, shift the angle, and in a few seconds you get a clean shine without
00:19ever bending down.
00:20The best part is that you can source these machines for around $100 to $150 wholesale,
00:25and there are two practical ways to monetize them.
00:28First, you can pitch them directly to boutique hotels, downtown office towers, country clubs, and convention centers,
00:34either selling the units at a markup or leasing them on a monthly maintenance contract where you handle the polish
00:39refills.
00:40Or, you can place tap-to-pay units in high-traffic commuter spots like airports, train stations, and financial districts,
00:47charging $2 to $3 per shine.
