Your crane is really a store window and attractive items draw people to your store. Your plush mix is the heart of the toy skill crane business. It's important to offer a colorful, high quality plush mix and merchandise your prizes as attractively as possible. Offer a wide variety of non-licensed toys and sprinkle in popular licensed stuffed toys that appeal to a diverse audience. If your mix is great and players are winning properly, your sales will be great as well.     

Apart from the overall presentation, pay attention to the characteristics (size, weight and grab points) of your load.  You’ll need to adjust your loading technique and machine specifications according to those characteristics.  It’s also very important you understand how each individual piece in your mix plays in your machine(s).
