Been in the photo booth industry for nearly 10 years and generate $400k annually (set to do over half a mil by 2024) in the wedding and events space. I don’t feel like I am the expert by any means in business or entrepreneurship, but I’ve built a couple successful companies on a small scale, and have an MBA, so maybe I can contribute to your success. AMA!

    A lot of these were already answered on others, so I’ll answer the new ones here.

    1. 100 events this year, will finish the year around 130. Last year we did 170.
    2. no
    3. depends on the event, our average photo booth ticket is abo $3200 for 3-4hrs, but can vary drastically.
    4. nope, all depends on event needs and specific vision + time
    5. extra hours, SMS, digital branding, design customization, vinyl wrap, bespoke services, etc. Lots in the upsells.
    6. at the start a lot on my own. Now most is done by employees or contractors (with their own equipment).
    7. lots! lol I elaborate on other posts
    8. we don’t do other general rentals/event services, but the extent of what we offer within the ‘photo booth’ space includes live photo/video activation experiences (360, slow mo, selfie, glam, ai, etc). But never flowers, catering, dj, etc.
    9. most events are weekend, weekdays there are corporate gigs like tradeshows etc. But most weekdays are not booked year round.
    10. Nope prebuilt, lots of software, some custom, some out there (dslr remote pro, snappic, dslrbooth, etc)
