Tips to Transition from Part-Time to Full Time
- Build on the events that you already do. If you hire out your photo booth at weddings at the weekend, then you could expand this to events on a weekday too. Weddings take place all through the week these days, so you can increase your events easily by opening up your diary to the full week rather than the weekend.
Working with wedding and party venues will also help, especially if they recommend your services to their clients. Building a good relationship with venues will help boost your business to full time. - Diversify your themed events. Perhaps now you have a few backdrops and themes for your photo booth, so to increase your business, you could add to your collection. By offering specialist themes such as Christmas, birthday parties, and baby showers, you can open up your business to more clients and improve your bookings throughout the week.
- Find ways to rent out your photo booth during the daytime. Most parties and events will occur in the evening or over the weekend, which can reduce your potential capacity. But thinking about other options during the week can help increase your business. Think about corporate events and company or school portraits. Thinking outside the obvious uses for your photo booth will drum up more business and give you a wider range of bookings.
Here are some tips you can use to better market your photo booth business.
How to begin moving your photo booth activity to a full-time business
First of all, you should do your research. Review your current business and what your current clients like about what Photo Booths you offer. Then find out what additional services are popular and what is already available in your area. Check out your competition and see if there are any holes in the market that your business could potentially fill. Put all this research together and make a plan for moving forward towards your full-time photo booth business.
Then, market your business to make sure potential clients know you are available for more events than previously, whether this is new services that you are offering or just opening up your diary to offer more times and dates throughout the week. You can make your Photo Booths work for you and rent them out as your sole business. Are you ready to make your photo booth rental your full-time job?
