Weddings Fund It. Corporate Grows It.
There's a version of this conversation I have on repeat. Someone tells me they had a great year. More weddings booked than the year before, prices finally went up, reviews are five stars across the board. Then they say the part that gives it away: the calendar is packed during wedding season, and then it just stops.
If that's you, stick with me. I want to tell you why weddings can only take you so far, and why most of you are already doing the thing that fixes it and just haven't noticed.
I built my company on weddings. I'm not talking down on the market, it's a real business and it can be a very good one. But it has a ceiling, and most photo booth owners hit it somewhere in the low six figures and spend a couple of years banging their head against it without knowing what they're hitting.
Corporate is the other half most people never build. It runs on a completely different calendar, a completely different buyer, and it's the reason my own business survived two opposite disasters three years apart. I walk through exactly what changed when I stopped treating corporate as an accident and started treating it as a market.

- The corporate events you're already booking but not counting as corporate
- Where corporate buyers actually spend their time (it's not Instagram)
