About this episode

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. What You'll Learn: Why the wedding funnel has a hard ceiling no amount of marketing can fix The one scheduling fact about corporate that changes your entire capacity Why a single company isn't one client, it's a building with multiple doors What happened to my business in 2020, and again in 2023, and what saved it both times The corporate events you're already booking but not counting as corporate Where corporate buyers actually spend their time (it's not Instagram) The fastest way into a corporate room if you have zero connections right now The one number you need to pull from your own books before you do anything else   Mentioned in this episode: Thrive membership: https://photoboothmastery.catalinabloch.com/Thrive Your Next Steps: Work with Me: https://bit.ly/POD-Site2 Join Thrive: https://photoboothmastery.catalinabloch.com/Thrive Connect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/photoboothmastery
