How Much Does A Photo Booth Cost To Buy

With the massive growth being seen in the portable photo booth hire business for weddings, parties, corporate and other events it is extremely important that when looking to buy a photo booth to hire out you choose a system or package that will be attractive to your potential customers. The question how much does a photo booth cost to buy and how much should you spend is therefore an extremely important question for you to consider.

You should not base your decision purely on the bottom line cost but more on how you can sell the features and benefits of your system to those that will be hiring it from you.

To buy a photo booth system can cost anywhere between £6k-£12k, depending on your choice of photo booth supplier, frame style, equipment supplied and software. All these elements being extremely important in your choice of system.

For example many of the cheaper systems on the market will use a piece of software similar to Breeze, which is available off the internet for around £120.However this is a general photo processing software package and not specifically designed for the speed and functionality required in a more attractive bespoke Photo Booth system.

An example being most of the set-up needs to be done ahead of the event and very few changes i.e. switching between multiple images, larger single images and video, can be made to the settings during an event without, having to spend a long time re-configuring.oto processing software package and not specifically designed for the speed and functionality required in a more attractive bespoke Photo Booth system.

Whereas a bespoke Photo Booth Software package as part of your system would allow you to make similar changes within 20-30 seconds during an event – much more attractive to your customer.

Additionally the size, weight and ease of assembly of your photobooth frame is extremely important to how your business operates – ideally you want a bespoke system that is quick to assemble, can easily be carried (i.e. in and out of lifts, up-stairs etc.) as well as in the boot of your car. Ideally your frame should be made of lightweight aluminium sections providing both strength and ease portability and without any additional nuts or bolts etc., which would slow down assembly.

The outer skins should be lightweight and interchangeable with Velcro strip fixings to again enable quick and easy assembly and dismantling. Also such a system would give you more flexibility where different outer skins are required for different events or customer branding etc.

Finally you should consider all the options you will be providing your customers from green screens to enable your customers to be able to select their own backgrounds, the quality of the camera equipment, speed and quality of printer and optional accessories such as wind machines for added interest and fun for your customer.

I hope this post has provided you with some food for thought when considering how much does a photo booth cost to buy and how much you are looking to spend on your photo booth.

As time has gone on the interest for photo booths is still rising, many guests stating that the photo booth made the night and would definitely hire a photo booth for their next event. To keep the photo booth wow factor going you need to make sure that you keep your photo booth business up to date and fresh with all of the new creations and styles of photo booths.

The well-known photo booth is the collapsible photo booth, where the booth is in parts and an attendant is trained to set it up at events. These booths are very good for events as it is very easy to carry and set up at any event. Whether it be at a wedding reception in a marquee or a corporate event in a high building with a lot of stairs there is always a way to get the photo booth in place ready and working.

The Collapsible photo booth can also be branded for a certain company or product by changing the skins to suit you with your company name or logo. This way you can advertise your company as everyone that uses your photo booth will see where you are from or what you are selling and will probably repeat business and get your products noticed. The changing of skins option isn’t only good for businesses and products but also for events such as weddings and parties as the event holder is able to choose the colour of the photo booth, this comes in very handy if there is a certain theme for the event as it allows you to fit the photo booth in with the theme.

There is also a new photo booth available which is a metal framed booth, usually best for other businesses that buy the photo booth to have fixed in their building such as hotels, shopping centres, cinema and theatres. This is a great idea for event venues as a lot of people will hire photo booths for their event, where as if the hotel or venue offers this in their package they would gain more business and not lose out on money.

The photo booth options continue to grow to suit all types of events adding that extra special unique touch that everyone will be talking about for years. All photo booths are guaranteed fun and are always a big hit!

Starting a photo booth business can be very stressful and tiring if you do not have the right information or any starting point. As the photo booth companies are rapidly growing all over the UK and countries all over the world picking up on the amazing business opportunity, such as Australia, Russia, Poland and Spain, It is very important that when starting your own photo booth business you have the right information to beat all competition that is out there.

One thing to look out for is special packages from top existing photo booth businesses which will help you build a photo booth business in the best way possible. Our package involves the photo booth its self, full training on how to operate (No IT experience needed for this), 500 business cards, 1000 leaflets, a template website and contact details, wedding fayre guidance and extra 12 month on-going support and business help when your photo booth business is all set up and running. We are also adding in an extra bonus with the package which includes an extra FREE screen.

The screen is a very good thing to offer with the photo booth when hiring it out. The screens can be put around the room at an event, where the photo booth is or even in another room if necessary, this enables all of the guests at the event to see all of the photographs taken in the photo booth on the screen as the photographs are streamed from the photo booth on to the screen. Most photo booth companies will charge a little extra for this option, but it is very popular as it allows all of the guests to see how funny the photographs are and encourages others to take part.

The screens are great for any event whether it be a wedding, party, company launch, bar mitzvah etc. They are a great way of beating competition as not many photo booth companies supply these and are great to advertise your business as all guests see the quality of the photo booth photographs whether they use the photo booth themselves or not, which guarantees to get people talking about your photo booth company and also attracts new customers.

Just recently in the UK photo booth hire has become extremely popular at events such as weddings, birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, proms, re-unions, bar mitzvah’s, college parties, corporate events and other social occasions. The reason that photo booth hire is so popular is simply because it brings unlimited fun and giggles to events, and also provides guests with an everlasting way to remember the beautiful event that they attended. Photo booths bring so much fun to events, there are 3 different photo booth systems that can be used during photo booth hire, firstly there is the party booth which is the photo booth system with an exterior casing around it, making it like a walk in photo booth. Secondly there is the party pod, which is exactly the same as the party booth, except it has no casing around it, which makes it more suitable for smaller venues. Thirdly there is the newest addition to the photo booth family, in the form of a New York taxi with a photo booth system fitted in to the back of the taxi, It’s an original New York taxi, which was used in the films Home Alone 2, Bronx Is Burning, and it was even used in the musical FAME. As you can tell, all of these enhancements wouldn’t have been made if photo booth hire wasn’t popular.

if you’re thinking of setting up a new business, but you’re not sure what to go for, why not try a new photo booth business, because as popular as photo booth hire is, surprisingly there isn’t that many companies in the UK doing it, making it a perfect opportunity to make some profit, when setting up a new photo booth business, a photo booth system can be designed to suit your business, making it your own unique personal booth, you can have your company logo on the side which helps to advertise your photo booth hire business, and text can also be changed on the photographs, to have your company name on, providing you with further business advertisement, you’d be mad not to set up a photo booth hire business, as it’s only going to get more popular.

The photo booth is ideal for any party or event, adding video messaging allows you to beat other photo booth companies as your not only offering the service of photographs to be taken but also a free video messaging system option for your guests to choose. This allows all guests to leave video messages for the event holder. This is great for events such as Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Birthday parties, Proms, Conferences etc. This way the guests can say Congratulations to the bride and groom, happy birthday, Goodbyes and best school memories or even used for business thanks and awards.

The photo booths can hold up to eight people so whether people want a video message on their own or have a big group video, they can! Most photo booth companies will offer a big box of free props to go inside the photo booth for all the guests to use making the photographs and video recording more interesting and a lot more fun.

The video messaging system is completely automated, so guests can operate very easily using touch screen to record their video messages. There is no limit on how many video messages you can take within your hire time and there is also endless time on the video recordings. Another advantage over all competitors would be, being able to upload all the video messages and pictures straight onto the social networking sites such as Facebook as well as the photos, so that they can be shared and viewed by friends and family.

 

Photo booth hire is currently a very popular piece of  event entertainment in the UK at the moment as it brings laughter and joy to all events,     Read More…
