To “prop” or not to “prop”…?

fiona — Tue, 21 May 2013 09:56:48 +0000

Flashback Photobooths’ Brisbane branch often gets asked about Props. Clients want to know do they need props with their photo booth hire or not? And I guess the answer really is no you don’t “need” props to have a blast with one of our photobooths! For most people the natural high you get from sitting unwatched as an automated camera takes your picture is enough. For those that need a bit more loosening up there is often alcohol to be found at a party, wedding or corporate event that has a photobooth, and again this is normally enough… but the addition of props certainly can add a certain something to help get the party going. At the very least it will make the photostrips more colourful! So if you’re wanting colourful photostrips then you definitely need props unless of course you’re having a fancy dress party in which case your guests are the props!

So lets say you have decided to add props to your next Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast or Brisbane photo booth hire what should you get?? Well the easiest solution is to hire one of our jam packed props boxes. Flashback Photobooths’ Queensland branch has scoured all over Brisbane’s party hire stores and put together huge boxes of goodies for you. In every box is a minimum of 35 items (some boxes have as many as 45). Inside are hats, wigs, feather boas, glasses, masks, mini blackboards with chalk so your guests can write personalised message and loads more assorted things! So many things that you couldn’t source them all yourself and get any change out of $350. So at just $50 +gst to hire you cant go wrong with adding one to your next Flashback Photobooth hire!

Flashback Photobooths provide high quality photo booths for private and corporate clients in Sydney, Regional NSW, Melbourne and Brisbane (including Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast), and have earned a reputation for a friendly, professional and reliable service.

Winter Boothin

fiona — Thu, 09 May 2013 10:45:10 +0000

Winter is the low season for wedding photobooth hire, which just means we aren’t as frantically running around delivering photo booths as we are the rest of the year … but by no means does that mean we are quiet! With winter comes the midweek Corporate photobooth hires. Corporates tend to hire our photobooths so they can re-brand them from being a Flashback Photobooth to instead being a wonderful marketing tool for their brand or organisation for things like trade shows, staff conferences and product launches.

In July alone Flashback Photobooths’ Queensland branch which services Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast has locked in again Domino’s yearly conference and also the Eyes Right Optical trade show in addition to the normal Wedding and Party hires we will be doing on the weekends. So for us winter is already shaping up to be busy enough.

For those of you thinking of hiring a phootbooth over winter for your Wedding, Party or Corporate event Flashback Photobooths QLD has some fantastic discounts and freebies on offer. Be sure to let us know your date when you enquire so we can work out the best possible deal for you. Mention this blog and we will also throw in something extra!

The other great thing about boothin’ in Winter, especially here in QLD, is the cold! During summer we can really work up a sweat hauling 180kg photobooths around so its a refreshing change for us! Not to mention the hours we spend in the car tranporting booths from one corner of South east QLD to the other.

So bring on winter and let Flashback Photobooths make your next winter event unforgettable!

Flashback Photobooths provide high quality photo booths for private and corporate clients in Sydney, Regional NSW, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane (including Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast), and have earned a reputation for a friendly, professional and reliable service. Producing high-quality colour, or black and white, double print photo strips in seconds, Flashback Photobooths provide essential fun for all events including weddings, formals, birthdays, corporate events and product launches.

What we’ve been up to lately!

fiona — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 10:38:54 +0000

It’s been a busy few months for the Regional NSW branch visiting venues up and down the Coast and forging great relationships with venues along the way!

Flashback Photobooths Hunter Valley & Newcastle
It has been wonderful visiting the Vineyards this month – our feature venue is Emerson’s Pokolbin, in the Casuarina Estate. Our upcoming wedding there is sure to be a stylish affair and Flashback Photobooths Hunter & Newcastle are excited to be a part of it!

Flashback Photobooths Central Coast
The Central coast is all about private parties this April with a family reunion being held at a stunning farm setting just out of Terrigal. We were there 5 years ago and saw their creative take on a family album. This time they are going all out with props on sticks and L-Frames as keepsakes for the family members to take away – we’re looking forward to meeting the new additions to the family! We hope Flashback Photobooths Central Coast is invited to share their next reunion in another 5 years!
Lake Macquarie is the scene for a very special First Birthday Party. This family is spread out so it will be the first time that both sets of grandparents will be together with the birthday boy! Flashback Photobooths Central Coast is honored to be at this party… fairy bread and lolly bags anyone?

Flashback Photobooths Wollongong & Southern Highlands
We are heading to the Mt Keira Scout Camp in Wollongong for a wedding in a beautiful bush setting this month – it’s also a new venue for 2013 and we are excited!
The Flashback Photobooths Wollongong & Southern Highlands team will also be servicing one of our regular Bowral venues, Centennial Vineyards. This venue is absolutely stunning and caters for all your needs. We love working with this great team!

Photobooth hire – things to consider

fiona — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 10:28:19 +0000

So you know you want a photobooth but your budget is tight and you’ve seen some pretty cheap prices and you think to yourself why pay top dollar when there are photobooths out there for less?? The concept is simple so surely they are all pretty much the same and very little can go wrong? Let me tell you from 7 years in the industry that photobooths vary greatly and lots of things can wrong when you pick the wrong operator! The following are just a few examples of stories we have heard from clients who have gone with the wrong operator, had their hire cancelled close to their hire date and have called us urgently needing a photobooth.

Things to look out before your hire date:
− The operator goes out of business.
− The operator books you on a super cheap special (eg groupon or living social) and right before your hire date someone is willing to pay their standard price and so they cancel your booking instead.
− The operator doesn’t have a proper booking system and double books and has to cancel your hire.
− The operator only has one or two photo booths, one breaks down the night before and they have to cancel your hire.
− The operator forgets to order more film and doesn’t have any left for your hire and has to cancel.
− The operator falls ill and doesn’t have anyone to help set up their booths so has to cancel.

Of course not all issues arise before the hire at least if they do they hopefully allow you enough time to find another operator available, but who needs that stress?

On the day:
− The operator gets lost and turns up late or not at all.
− The operator is late and interrupts proceedings.
− The operator damages the booth trying to get into your venue and it no longer works.
− The attendant is rude and unfriendly.
− The operator doesn’t inform your venue when they are coming/collecting and puts your venue offside.
− The operator leaves their booth at the venue for days afterwards and puts your venue offside.
− The operator forgets the film and has to race home for more causing your hire to start late.
− The operator leaves it up to the venue to turn the booth on and off putting your venue offside.
− The booth is so flimsy/badly built it doesn’t feel safe to be inside.
− The quality of the film/camera is so low that the prints are low grade and don’t look good or last very long.
− The camera doesn’t focus instead producing blurry shots.
− The photobooth hasn’t been secured and is rolling around.
− The photobooth wiring is causing a potential tripping hazard as the operator hasn’t taped it down.
− The operator doesn’t use surge protectors on their booths meaning the machine could be prone to fire or electrical shock especially when self built or low build quality.
− Someone is injured using the photobooth but the operator does not have insurance to pay any potential claims against them.

Afterwards:

So something’s gone wrong and you’re trying to sort it out with the operator and get compensated.
− The operator refuses to refund any money.
− The operator refuses to acknowledge anything that went wrong was their fault.
− The operator is rude and unfriendly and genuinely doesn’t care about your concerns.
− The operator goes out of business and any claim against them is pointless.

For all the above reasons plus all the others we touched on in our previous blog (link below) you should really think long and hard about whom you go with for your photobooth hire. I am happy to say none of the aforementioned problems have ever arisen from us or happened to our clients when dealing with us. This is sort of confidence you have when you pay that little bit extra to go with a reputable company like Flashback Photobooths!
