We Asked. Magic Tymes Photo Booth Co. Answered.

What Were Your Hopes Before Receiving Your First Foto Master Product?

Candice Allen:

My hope was to embark on a new business opportunity which would, of course, be successful, but also enjoyable.

What Were Your Concerns Before Receiving Your First Foto Master Product?

Candice Allen:

My main concerns were about the size of the booth and whether it was going to fit in my SUV! I was also concerned about how I would be able to market it.

How Was Your Business Affected By Getting A Foto Master Product? Did You Return Your Initial Investment?

Candice Allen:

Yes!! We received our Mirror Me in mid-October. After doing a few free gigs just to get our name out there, we did our first paid gig on November 14.
We received a return on our initial equipment investment by mid-December. In fact, between December 7-21 alone, we had 11 paid events.

What Do You Think About Foto Master’s 24/7 Support Team? How Did Your Product Training Go? Have They Ever Helped Your Business?

Candice Allen:

Foto Master’s support team is GREAT! I LOVE the fact that they’re available 24/7, even on holidays.
It’s so reassuring to know that no matter what goes wrong before or even during an event, I have someone available who can I lean on for help.
I had already done the online training before my product training session with Foto Master and after my live training session, I really felt that I was ready to operate the software with confidence.
The Foto Master Zendesk website has also been a great source of information.

Ever Got Any Added Value from Foto Master’s Online Facebook Community (A.K.A ‘The Family’)?

Candice Allen:

I cannot even express how valuable Foto Master’s online FB Community has been in growing my business.
First, it’s a GREAT source of information for everything related to the Foto Master software, especially since Foto Master’s Support Team posts in the group regularly to answer questions anyone has.
Also, by seeing everyone’s pictures of their booths, setup, signs, props, it really helped me to “step up my game” by knowing how to make our setup look professional and polished.
It has also been amazing to be able to build a community of fellow owners, graphic artists, vendors, etc.

You Went Back In Time! You’re Just Starting Out. Give Your Past-Self Some Important Tips

Candice Allen:

1) Believe in yourself – the leads WILL COME.
2) Arrive at your jobs 2 hours ahead of time to set up, just to make sure you have time to fix anything that goes wrong before “go time.”
3) Don’t compare yourself to other businesses that have established for years and try to be just like them right off the bat. It took them time to build their business, be patient with yours.
