There are many start-up photo booth companies who entice their customers by offering low prices to try and bring in new customers and get their business started. But there are way too many horror stories out there of a cheap photo booth that doesn’t bother to show up at someone’s wedding reception, birthday party, graduation or other special event. Remember, if it’s too good to be true concerning price, it probably is, and you should stay clear of the company.
There are people that believe the photo booth industry is a fun, get-rich-quick type of business. However, it isn’t as easy to maintain quality service as one might think. In order to provide reliable equipment, the owner must put in the expense of buying and maintaining everything that they need. Not only that, in order to stay in business you will want to have multiple booths available so that you can go to different events at the same time. That means hiring reliable employees who know what they are doing and are friendly and customer oriented. A cheap organization won’t want to pay their employees a decent wage, so you end up with people who aren’t willing to put their heart and soul into their job.
It’s vastly important to do your research when you are looking into hiring a photo booth company. Don’t just look into the prices the companies offer. You’ll want to check pages such as Yelp, the BBB, and social media to find reviews of the company to make sure they are reliable. Word of mouth is also a big part of any business, so if you know anyone who has used a photo booth in the past, talk to them to get an idea of who to go to. You want to hire your company for their ability to provide a great experience, not because they are the least expensive. Don’t go with some company offering a crazy discount that may not show up at your event, after taking your money.
Make sure to hire a well-known photo booth company who will make your special event a memorable one. Do your research and enjoy the great picture memories a photo booth can provide!
