    What's the difference between a white backdrop and getting a one-sided backdrop and just using the white backside as a backdrop? Is there something that makes the white backdrop what it is? I've looked at Pbbackdrops and noticed that their one-sided backdrops are white on the backside. That would seem to be more cost effective than ordering a separate white backdrop or specifying white as the second side of something else.

    • @ownyourmomentco
      @ownyourmomentco 18 днів тому

      You could! In fact when I first started that’s what I did, as long as you have the blackout curtain so that if you have light coming in from behind the other design doesn’t shine through. For my business and through a lot of practice, white on both sides made more sense as there were many instances when I found my white backdrop getting dirty, and I could quickly flip it around to the clean side easily.

    I'm debating between the Guac and Chips starter package and the Essential package. The Essential package comes with the Atlas backdrop and marble cover, a year supply of app access, and a 2-year warranty. What did you purchase? Or did you go ahead with your own backdrop? Thanks!

    • @ownyourmomentco
      @ownyourmomentco 20 днів тому

      I started out with a salsa and did go with an essentials package at that point. If this is your first booth then getting that upfront savings and complete package can be very helpful. Especially for the warranty and year of app access. Alternatively you could purchase a backdrop system from pbbackdrops separately (I have a video on that) and then the extended warranty and year of software too. So it’s really a matter of deciding if you want a complete system now or if you want to piece it altogether on your own!

    Hell Nicole. I have a DSLR booth and I use the ipad instead of the camera. I cant seem to get the flash right with the camera and my pics come out all white!!! Any pointers? Question my ipad sits horizontal in my booth and I noticed most sit vertical like yours. Do you think one is better than the other as far as how the ipad sits in the booth?? Also with the hard wired printer i'm assuming you have to take a laptop and provide wifi to the laptop to print ???

    • @ownyourmomentco
      @ownyourmomentco 21 день тому

      Hey! Are you able to adjust your exposure settings or the flash? Adjusting those would be what I recommend. I have my flash at 1/2 and adjust according to the lighting in the venue. Orientation of the iPad shouldn’t matter at all. And nope! I’m able to connect directly to wifi from my booth via the iPad settings. It’s hardwired to the printer and communicates to the printer, and then I can send digital via the venue wifi or hotspot that I bring.

    Cost of Salsa Booth plus iPad, plus iPad data service to prevent WiFi issues. Did you already have an iPad and wiped it back to factory status? Ideally you would need to also purchase lighting and props. Then the cost of a website template, hosting, etc. There is much more to the start up than the Salsa Booth purchase. What were your true start up expenses? How many events did it take to recoup your initial investment? That would be valuable information.

    • @ownyourmomentco
      @ownyourmomentco Місяць тому

      I talk about this in length in my earlier videos! My iPad I added to my phone plan, I added lighting and a printer as well. Props I got as I needed to, and because I invested in quality, they were a one time investment based on the theme of the ideal client I was targeting. I also have a video on why you don’t need a ton of backdrops. 100% the business costs will vary depending on each individual. But as a broke single mom that made it, I can raise my hand and say it’s possible. And if I can do it others can too.
