Congratulations! If you are reading this article, it means that you are ready to start an easy, fun and very profitable business – renting photo booths for private events.
If you are willing to invest a considerable amount of money, don’t you want to make sure that you do it correctly and that in the end you will be satisfied with the decision you made?
It would be a shame to invest in your first business and receive a photo booth that is not adapted to your needs, nor to the current needs of your clients, and in addition not to have the necessary support in the less pleasant moments when a problem arises, either of a technical nature or of a customer relationship, because all these things would discourage you and would cause you to abandon the business.
Before making the decision to buy, it is good to do some research among the “manufacturers” of photo booths in our country, even though, as it is not a complicated business, it is recommended to have the support of someone specialized when you are stuck or in a dilemma.
I wrote “manufacturers” (in quotation marks) because most of those who sell photo booths import their products from China (you can check this very easily, by searching on the Alibaba.com website where you will find the same models as those sold by some “manufacturers” in our country).
We, at the photo booth for sale, produce UNIQUE models, designed and manufactured by us and manufactured in Romania, because we want to support the Romanian economy and encourage young people who want to take the path of entrepreneurship (we will detail this aspect below, when we talk about our package – Start Up Business)
When choosing a supplier, whether it is a photo booth supplier or any other product, we recommend that you consider the following aspects:
1. Company History
Check if it is a new company, if they have experience in the events industry and most importantly find out who the team members are behind the company, because it is essential to know the people you will be working with.
Even though the photo booth rental industry is relatively new in our country (to our knowledge, the first photo booth appeared in Romania in 2013 and was brought from the USA by Alto Photobooth, who recently became our clients), we, the photo booth sales team, have over 15 years of experience in the private events industry.
It all started in 2004 when we opened one of the first event halls in Romania, currently owning 5 halls (Ballroom Andra – www.facebook.com/BallroomAndra/), and operating in several branches of this industry:
– Coaching courses for brides and grooms and service providers www.weddingmastery.ro
– Production and sales of photo booths www.vandcabinafoto.ro
– Floral creation workshop https://m.facebook.com/Atelierulcuflorisicadouri/
– Photo booth rentals www.facebook.com/cabina.foto.tecuci/
– A la carte restaurant & hotel www.restauranthoteltecuci.ro
2. Company reputation
You can find this in the reviews / feedback and opinions of customers who have purchased / collaborated with the respective supplier.
On the supplier’s Facebook page in the Review / Recommendations section, you can see the opinions of those who have purchased the products.
If this section does not appear on the supplier’s page or there are no reviews / recommendations, you should ask yourself a question about how the collaboration with these suppliers is going, and do more detailed research.
Another option is to call 2-3 former customers of the supplier and ask them how the collaboration went both on the supply side (attitude, seriousness, transportation, etc.) and on the after-sales service side (assistance, support, etc.).
We at the photo booth for sale are transparent:
– both in terms of the clients we supply (each supply being posted both on social media and on the website, so that any interested person can contact the client directly to find out how the collaboration went),
– and in terms of public reviews (we have reviews on our Facebook page and testimonials on the website) to remove any doubt about our seriousness.
3. Quality of the products sold
Here it is good to check the specifications of the equipment that is part of the photo booths as well as the quality of the materials from which the photo booth casing is made.
You can find more details about this aspect in one of our blog articles: What to look out for when buying a photo booth.
4. The assistance you will receive with the purchase of the photo booth
Although this type of business does not require advanced knowledge of photography or entrepreneurship, some basic concepts and an adequate business plan are necessary for a quick and safe start, a correct approach and a pro-client attitude that will ensure the success of the business from the first season.
Note!
Be aware that it is not enough to buy a photo booth to develop a business, you need a plan, a coach/mentor and a lot, a lot of work to have the best result.
And since most people who start are at their first business, so they do not have entrepreneurial knowledge, we, at the photo booth for sale, have designed a Start Up Business package, which includes both written materials and consulting to help our clients get off to a strong start, and we offer all of this for FREE.
Also included in this package are some accessories that you could not start a business without and that save you from additional expenses, including:
• printer consumables set
• photo background kit
• funny props and accessories set
• editable templates
• magnetic strips
More details about the Start Up Business package can be found here.
Because we are interested in our clients’ businesses to work, we have created a community, in the form of a Facebook group – Photo Booth Factory Owners (dedicated EXCLUSIVELY to our clients) in which we discuss any aspect related to this type of business, where we share ideas, solutions to any problems we face, etc., and where we have training from wedding coach Mac Florea (who has been active in the field of private events for over 14 years, and has over 1000 organized weddings)
ATTENTION! I cannot give you useful advice in this field, those who do NOT have an active business in the events and photo booth rental industry.
Equally important is post-sales technical assistance, to avoid an unpleasant situation when you are preparing / are at an event and an error / problem occurs that you have not encountered before and that you do not know how to approach.
That is why we, at the photo booth for sale, have created a support group on Whatsapp where at any time and any day someone from our community will be there to help you if you need it. We chose the Whatsapp option because you can send pictures or videos of any problems very quickly, and it is much more convenient and efficient.
5. Possibility of buying back the photo booth
We, at the photo booth for sale, have launched a new program on the Romanian market, Buy Back Booth – through which we come to the aid of those who have decided that this business is not for them, and who want to give up this business without too much hassle.
We guarantee the purchase of the photo booth at any time, without asking for explanations 🙂
In conclusion, we would like to mention that we are at the disposal of any person interested in this type of business, without any involvement, and we are ready to help you make the best decision for yourself.
All you have to do is send an email to contact@photoboothfactory.ro or call 0739.133.133.
