Partyshots Photobooth at Google's HQ Singapore

Partyshots Photobooth invited to GOOGLE’s press event for SMBs (small and medium businesses) in Singapore Around 19 businesses from all over the Asia-Pacific were invited to the recent Google’s press event last April 17, 2013, at the Google’s headquarters in Singapore. Entrepreneurs from Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand converged in this prestigious event with a theme of “Helping small business think big”. Common to these companies are their relentless success attributed to their use of the giant search engine’s special features particularly Google Adwords. Only 2 companies were sent by the Philippines, one of which is Partyshots Photobooth (represented by its founder and owner Dr. Al Farabi Jaafar). The Philippine delegates were headed by Google Philippines country communications manager Ms. Gail Tan. Several media representatives from ABS-CBN, Business Mirror, Business World, Entrepreneur Magazine, Manila Bulletin, and Philippine Star were also present. The event was graced by Google head of Asia-Pacific Mr. Karim Temsamani who gave his inspiring and encouraging words on the potential of doing business in the region in the advent of internet marketing. He emphasized on the great opportunity created by the presence of the web for small businesses which will allow them to reach customers far beyond the locality of their stores. Google, he said, is committed in helping small businesses grow big.

Photo booth's transformation

The photo booth had its original look (80's and 90's) as a booth with curtains where individual/s can go inside and have his/her picture taken. Minutes later, the machine will dispense the photo. These photo booths, often seen beside schools or commercial establishments, provided people access to fast and instant service when they need ID pictures. This abated the need for them to go to a photo studio. That was history. The 21st century saw technology running at a very fast pace. This virtually drove the classic photo booth to extinction (at least in the Philippines). Despite the invasion of our civilization by digital cameras (of every size, shape, color, and form), a comeback occurred. Built from a network of a camera-printer-PC-etc. minus the booth and curtains, a new photo booth (or kiosk - more appropriately) was born. This time it is programmed to be mobile and the output for souvenirs. It is seen in almost every event possible. Try to attend a wedding nowadays, chances are you will find yourself posing in one of those machines. The photo booth changed the landscape of the event industry. It cemented itself as an integral part of many occasions whether weddings, debuts, kiddie parties, school or corporate events, baptisms, reunions, trade shows, product launching, sports activities, you name it. When we started our photo booth business 3 years back (in Manila, Philippines), we were not inclined about being with the same level with the existing ones. Partyshots Photobooth wanted to be in a different standard. That is, beginning with the most basic, the photo booth machine itself. We started by modifying and refurbishing old toy dispensers found in the market. With all the hardware hidden inside, our photo booth (that time) already looked more unique and presentable than our competitors. Constant innovations led us to fabricating our own units which are well-designed, slim, light-weight, durable, transportable, come in different colors, and can be easily assembled or disassembled. This is a far cry from the "Tripod" type where the hardware are exposed, the "Boxy" type made of ply board (wood cabinet look) or the "Ref" type (the name speaks for itself). During conceptualization and development of our units, we had in mind the preservation of the neatness and class of the events where we set-up our machines. This is important. To see our units, visit us at our office Unit 15 Anonas Commercial Complex, 3 Anonas Street, Project 3, Quezon City, Philippines. Call us at +6323411886 or +639228931886.

Franchising

5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. smile! Click. As soon as the flash fades, people crammed in front of the camera methodically become chaotic switching places. Some grabbing a new set of party props and awaiting the second shot. Smiles and stances frozen.. click. "Last shot!", the screenshot shows. More pandemonium ensues. Click. Exit time and another group of guests, amused and giggling, get ready for their turn of the next photo shoot session. Typical scene these days. Be it a wedding, debut, kiddie party, school or corporate event, chances are a photo booth somewhere in the corner is keeping the guests busy basking the moment. The excitement brought by this simple innovation easily brings the entrepreneurship out of most people. This phenomenon has perhaps resulted to many venturing into the photo booth business lately. Late in 2009, a friend invited me to a party where my family tried a photo booth. I was impressed by the fact that several gadgets when interconnected to each other produce such fun activity for guests in an event. The idea absolutely adds bonus to occasions and guarantees erasure of boredom from the usual set-up. Having some exposure to photography, starting up a photo booth business didn't escape me. Although I was able to put everything together from equipment and software to my first test print in a month, I felt it was not enough. There were no legitimate photo booth companies that offer franchising that time. I had to ask for help from a friend(with fee of course) to build confidence to make my first event possible. Starting any business on your own isn't easy. Statistics show at least 4 out of 5 fail in the first 2 years. The opposite happens with franchising where success rate is high. Why? Let's start with the photo booth itself. The set-up isn't as simple as just having a camera, printer, and a PC. There are almost a hundred other things you need to complete one. To name a few: several cables, soft box, flash, stand, hotshoe, presentable casing, props, contracts, samples, flyers, uniforms, etc.. and we are just talking about the equipment and peripherals. You need a system to operate, training for yourself and staff, software support, technical support, marketing advise and support, networks with other businesses or companies, website and linkage, events to show people, branding, legal documents, government permits, innovations, etc, etc. The impression with franchising is that it is costly. But smart people think about "value not the cost". "The risk of failure far outweighs the investment you put on franchising" as franchising is a shortcut to experimentations and failures. The time, effort, and money you waste is better spent on recouping your investment. A franchise allows you to start immediately and makes sure you are in the right footing. Partyshots Photobooth Franchise was developed by an international company(Chicago based) with office here in the Philippines, the franchising leader FRANCORP. Being the first and only photo booth company to undergo such process is a proof that we have passed through research, viability studies, and system development by experts to become a legitimate and professional photo booth franchising company. To make sure that our company conducts business according to moral, ethical and legal standard of franchising, we are also the first and only photo booth company member of the prestigious Philippine Franchise Association (PFA). Partyshots Photobooth has now 7 units in Metro Manila and 5 nationwide, barely a year from officially launching its franchising at Franchise Asia 2012. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. franchise us now!
