Photo Booth Expo Shopping? Ask These 5 Questions First.
Photo Booth Expo Shopping? Ask These 5 Questions First.
Photo Booth Expo is coming up, and if you're anything like me a few years ago, you're already mentally spending money on that shiny new booth in Aisle 3.
The demos look incredible. The sales reps are convincing. Everyone around you is talking about what they're going to buy. And that voice in your head starts whispering: "This is the booth that's going to change everything."
But here's what I wish someone had told me before I dropped thousands at my first expo:
That equipment high you're feeling? It wears off about three months after the purchase, right around the time you realize you've booked the new booth twice and it's sitting in your garage collecting dust next to the OTHER booth you bought at last year's expo.
I've been there. I've made the expensive mistakes. I've bought equipment I didn't need, couldn't keep booked, and eventually sold at a massive loss.
But I've also learned exactly which questions to ask BEFORE swiping my card—questions that have saved me literally tens of thousands of dollars in equipment I almost bought but didn't.
In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact 5-question framework I use before any equipment purchase. These aren't the questions the sales reps want you to ask. They're the ones that separate strategic investments from expensive mistakes.
Because here's the truth: more equipment doesn't equal more bookings. It equals more complexity, more training headaches, and way more cash tied up in gear that's not making you money.
What You'll Learn:
- The 5 critical questions to ask yourself before buying ANY photo booth equipment (especially at Photo Booth Expo where the pressure to buy is intense)
- Why buying multiple booth types actually makes it HARDER to scale your team (and what to do instead)
- The "15-Booking Test" that instantly reveals whether equipment will make you money or drain your resources
- How to calculate the TRUE cost of equipment (hint: it's way more than the sticker price)
- Why training complexity is the hidden killer of photo booth businesses trying to scale
- What to look for in equipment demos that sales reps won't tell you
- How to maximize profit from the equipment you already own before buying anything new
- The exact red flags that signal you're about to make an emotional purchase, not a strategic one
- What to do if you've already accumulated too much gear (yes, there's a way forward)
