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!

So these are like photos booths like the ones you would find at the mall but you rent / deliver them to weddings and events?

How many booths got you to that revenue level?

What do you primarily use for marketing?

Sort of. It's much classier, much more portable and considered 'open air' so not a twoseater to crawl into. The modern equivalent of the idea of mall photo booths.

Less is more. It's not about number of booths, it's about profit per event. We have 9 booths, but maybe only 5% of the year 2/9 are actually in service. They each serve a different purpose or function as backup equipment. Our team of 3-4 (including myself) maintains our Statewide services, and the rest is contracted out of state, so we don't carry equipment for out of state events, unless my local team is travelling for something from Arizona.
