10 Common Photo Booth Hire Questions We Get Asked

I thought it would be a good idea to write a blog and answer some of your most commonly asked questions about hiring our selfie pod photo booths.

Now, some of these are already on the pages of our website, but I have put these together and added more detailed answers which I hope will make your decision in booking Miss Selfie Pod all the more easy!

Ok, let's do this.....

Photo Booth hire Questions. Number 1.

Do your photo booths print?

No. However, thats too easy an answer, because a lack of prints does not mean a lack of fun or memories. What it actually means is lower hire costs, instant sharing and no paper waste, printer jams or mess.

Now of course I am going to say that, and there will always be those of you out there who want your guests to have a print, but believe me when I say that over at our big sister company where we do booths that print, the amount of people who collect their print and then take a picture of the picture to upload is INSANE!

There is a generation out there who want now, instant, 5 minutes ago, and want to get it on to their Instagram or Snapchat as it happens.

The moment one of our selfie pods has produced the finished image or GIF, your guests can hit the share button and send it to themselves or anyone they like via Text Message, QR code, AirDrop or by Email.

Question 2.

How much does it cost to hire?

We are as upfront as possible, and thats why our prices are right here on the website for you to view.

You'll notice at the bottom of each page we do add a little bit of blurb that we resevre the right to add a travel charge. Thats rare, but if you want us all the way out in Somerset, we have no issue, but we just might charge a little more.

Generally speaking for events further away, we drop the cheaper price options, so youll be looking at the Reveller or All Dayer for distance events. We think thats fair enough.

Our 'Lucky Dip' package is our opening gambit at £150, and thats great value for money! Ok, its got no frills but if you are happy to provide your own props (charity shops can be a great source of these, and Amazon!), and don't mind which pod you get, this is a great package.

Question 3.

What can we customise on our overlays?

Yes, because with all our packages you get to add an overlay. We have designs for all kinds of occasions.

Basically, any wording you see on the designs can be adjusted to fit your own names, dates, numbers etc.

Here are a few of our templates. To see them all come back and click on this link in just a bit... https://www.missselfiepod.co.uk/design-templates

In the last 6 months or so, we have also introduced a premium range of designs. These are available at an extra cost of £20. With the premium deisgns you get 3 templates for you and guests to choose form on the selfie pod. As standard you just get one layout, 4 up style like the ones above.

Here are a few of our premium designs.

Question 4.

How long does it take to set up?

Not very long at all.

It does vary slighty, but generally around 10 minutes.

What effects that? Well how easy the access is to where you want it, and how long it takes us to find someone who knows the WiFi password!

Question 5.

What do we need to provide you?

Whilst we will always remind you of these things nearer the time, your selfie pod photo booth needs space. Ideally a spot where a person could stand, because thats how big they are.

We also need a mains plug socket close by. You should know that we always carry cable tape etc to make sure everything is safe and secure.

And WiFi!

Now, its not essential as our pods will happily run 'off-line'.

So why do we ask for Wifi then? Well if its connected, then everything your guests are doing gets sent instantly, if not, then the selfie pod effectively queues everything until we get it connected, which is usually when we pick it up.

The biggest reason is that it allows us live access to the pod from afar. Meaning if you have an issue we try to resolve it remotely, but I will say that we are never too far away.

Question 6.

Is the Selfie Pod Photo Booth manned?

It seems like a long time ago now that we used to always run our pods manned. These days the tech inside them is so good and they are so user friendly we just dont need to. However, we always reserve the right to man them.

And if you specifically want it manned for some reason, let us know, although there may be a small charge for this.

I can also personally man it for you if you would like a host, glammed up or just as regular Miss Selfie pod!

Question 7.

How do we go about paying?

Its honeslty really simple. Our booking deposits for selfie pods are just £50, and if you fancy one of our bundles then these are just a £75 deposit.

The balance on your booking isn't due until 14 days before the big day.

You can make payment via BACS, or PAYPAL and by debit or credit card using our Stripe payment system, which gives you trust in us as your payment is then protected.

Question 8.

I am having my wedding on Thursday, is it cheaper?

We think our prices are seriously good value as they are, so we don't offer a mid-week deal. Our costs remain the exact same, be it a Monday or a Saturday.

Having said that, from time to time we do offer a few special deals and its worth following us on Instagram or Facebook to see these.

Question 9.

We are having a LARGE wedding, If we book 2 pods can we have a discount?

For events over 150 people or so, a second selfie pod is a great idea. having said that, if you are having 200 odd guests and book one of our pods for all day hire that would be sufficient. If you have 200 guests and you just want us for the evening for 3 or 4 hours then a second pod would again be a good idea.

We would be happy to offer a discount if you were looking to hire 2. Drop us a line to talk that one through. We can also offer multi day and multi location hire.

Question 10.

Are you single?

Yep, thats a real question I have actually had a couple of times in my enquiries!

Have you got a question for me?

Just ping it over to the email info@missselfiepod.co.uk and I will be more than happy to answer it for you.

I hope these more detailed answers have helped you
