Photobooth will have limitless use so the great thing is that you will have lots of photos of your event to choose from and you will have taken groups of family and friends that may well not have been caught by the official photographer, who isn’t able to be in all places at all times.
2. • Should I get into the photo
booth business? Why not?
Many people don't realized
how easy it is to make money.
You just need courage!
• So, the biggest question is
who should gt into the
photobooth business?
• Only you yourself can answer
the question of whether you
should be in the business. My
hope is that this blog helps you
make that decision, or to
reinforce your decision if you
are already in the business.
Maybe a few of you will want
to get out of the business, but I
hope that number is somewhat
small.
3. • The main concern I have heard is the following:
• Isn't The Photobooth Market Saturated?
• Yes, it is certainly true that more and more people are getting into the photo booth
business every day, and certainly with the publication of this blog there will be some
more.
• But that by no means is an indicator that you cannot be successful. We all have
family that will support us in everything that we do and more than likely, your family
will be there for your success. If anything it is an indicator of the health of the type of
business. After all, we don't see many new people getting into the typewriter
business, or the newspaper business. Even in a declining business such as the two I
just listed there are some people getting into the photo booth business, and some of
them will even succeed I am sure.
• Of course the photobooth business is still growing, and probably will for some time
before it is truly saturated. This is just the natural course of ANY, I repeat ANY
BUSINESS. if you think the photobooth business is saturated, just look at the DJ
business. There are DJ business starting every minute. Yet there are new DJ's
entering the business every day, some of which will make it big. DJ Khaled did not
get popular instantly or over night. I am sure he worked really hard and waited for his
fan based to grow. It really is just a matter of time.
4. • I was searching for a good way to explain exactly what I am explaining here when I
came across a great quote from Melanie Duncan. Melanie is the successful owner
of a number of online businesses, an online guru, inspirational speaker, educator,
and the founder of the Entrepreneurs Academy. I subscribe to her newsletter at her
website as I am a firm believer in education and learning all you can from others to
better your own business.
• One of the things she offers a course in is creating webinars. Here is the pitch for
her product:
• "Many people do not like to sell, but the problem is that if you're a sole proprietor
you have to do it all - create, market, and sell - for your business to be a success.
• Luckily, selling doesn't have to be some sleazy process where you lie and
manipulate.
• I've found the most effective way t sell is through providing incredible valuable
content for my audience.
• When you learn the right way to sell, not only will people love you for it, they will buy
from you like crazy!
5. • So what's the best way to provide amazing content? Webinars."
• So the first thing you are thinking is what this could possibly have to do with photobooths, but
you will understand the link in a paragraph or two.
• As with photo booths, there are some who mistakenly feel that webinars have run their course
and that there are too many already in the game. To quote Melanie again:
• Now I know what you may be thinking:
• "But Melanie, everyone is doing webinars now. They can't possibly be effective anymore."
• Here's the truth...
• You shouldn't do something because other people are already doing it. Chances are lots of
people are doing it because it works. However, you do need to be able to stand out, which
means you've got to know what you are doing, and do it well.
• I read this and kept thinking to myself-there is No Way I could or can possibly say it better.
What Melanie writes about webinars is also directly true with photobooths.
• There are a lot of photobooth businesses out there because people love photo booths. Ten
years ago they were almost unheard of at weddings. Now the have almost become a staple, a
alternative form of entertainment for the guests. A couple of years from now they will be a
6. • If you are not offering a
photobooth at a wedding,
someone else will and that is
just the way it is.
• For inspiration, look to the
story of 5 Guys Burgers. I am
sure that in 1986, when the
first store was opened, most
people considered the fast
food hamburger market was
saturated? After all, who could
compete with McDonald's,
Wendy's and Burger King, not
to mention Taco Bell, Subway,
Pizza Hut and many many
others.
7. • What 5 Guys Burgers did was not
rocket science. They simply started
off with a principle that quality should
never be sacrificed, not even in a fast
food marketplace. The food was all
fresh and juicy. They did to cut
corners and definitely did not cut
price. Even though they were the
new guys, their prices were higher
than the established leaders. So
despite McDonald's, Wendy's and
Burger King, all of which are still
growing, they carved their niche. 625
stores later they are growing faster
than ever. And many new companies
are entering the gourmet hamburger
marketplace every day, just as many
people are entering the photo booth
business every day.
• Having said that, one thing I noticed at 5
Guys Burgers is that many times they will
literally dump a ton of extra fries into the
bag. I am not sure if this is a company-
wide policy or if it is something they just do
at my local store, but it all follows along
with the "give them more than they expect"
principle.
• People know that they are paying a
premium by going to 5 Guys, but by
dumping in the extra fries they are
definitely not going to leave hungry and are
much more likely to accept the higher price
and return.
• So if you are thinking of starting your photo
booth business, please consider EZ
Photobooths in mind. After all, we have the
lowest price in the market.
