Can you make a shorter booth because my room isn’t high enough?

by | Oct 21, 2022 | FAQs

This question is not really common, but can you make your space shorter because, Jay, honestly, I don’t have the 11 minimum feet you’re asking for.

Absolutely. There is so far we’ll go down, I think the shortest studio we’ve made is eight feet. After that, I have way too much integrity to sell you something that just won’t fit. We’ve moved the studios, so in the future–you can never predict the future–if you move your studio and you have the high ceilings, the last thing I want to do is be involved with you taking this seven-foot-tall booth to a large space. So, if you do not have the minimum 11 feet, we absolutely cut out of the top of the studio.

If you haven’t heard, I visit everyone’s location prior to taking anyone’s money. That’s at zero obligation, no money for travel, nothing. It’s on my dime. I want to make sure you’re fully engaged in the process; you fully understand what we’re doing; the concept of the studio; the five-year warranty, and more importantly, I bring lasers to measure your space, to see what has to be done on the studio space we select.

Give me a shot. I won’t let you down.

 

I have a 360Booth®, Can I move it to my new location?

by | Oct 21, 2022 | FAQs

One of the questions we get all the time, and unfortunately, I wish I did a better job of marketing it, is that the studio can be broken down and moved.

To answer your question, yes. Absolutely. We probably move 40 a year on average. The studio can be dismantled and reassembled in a new or redesigned location or existing one, but there is a fee. Just contact us, and I’ll explain.

In this video, I’d like to explain what happens. We fly in and install it to your location on a Monday to break down the studio. Now, it looks easy, but don’t be fooled. The plastic cannot–or the studio cannot–be dismantled without the plastic being totally broken off the steel. That includes breaking all the plastic off and removing all the adhesive. That takes anywhere from six to eight hours to dismantle it, clean it up, break it down, and put it in the back of the U-Haul. Then we take it to the next location that same night. The very next morning, Tuesday, we start reassembling it. That’s three days or 30 hours, whichever way you want to look at it.

That’s a four-day process. When we’re done, you will have a brand new booth.

We clean the steel, replace with brand new adhesive, brand new plastic. We caulk all the seams. We add a brand new cloth top because, believe it or not, you’re not getting 24, 26, 28 feet of cloth out of your back dealership without it being filthy. So we add a brand new top, brand new wheels. It’s a brand new booth.

Yes, we can move the studio. We do it 40 times a year, minimum, and it’s easy.

 

 

Why do I install 360Booth® inside?

by | Oct 21, 2022 | FAQs

Can 360Booth® be installed outdoors, and why not?

Honestly, nothing will happen to it. A gust of wind will push it off its track. The cloth top will get stained, but the number one reason you don’t want to go outside is that you need to increase your sales.

That’s why you’re here. You’re trying to increase your sales. You want to go indoors so you can shoot 24/7. If you don’t have the stomach to put in the process, to make sure all your cars are online 24/7, and shoot day or night indoors, putting it outside just makes the process harder.

So, no. 360Booth® does not go outside. You want it inside so you have 100% of your inventory online–new and used cars, fresh trades–online 24/7, not on Friday before the weekend– 24/7.

 

 

How do you operate 360Booth®?

by | Oct 21, 2022 | FAQs

Why is 360Booth® so popular and successful? It’s really simple, simple, simple.

How do you operate it? Simple. You simply walk up and push it. That enables you to direct the light on the vehicle at any time and simply. By the way, there are no motors, no turntables, no failures.

Here’s how it works. You walk up to the studio, and you simply push it. This is a 28-foot studio. It’s 1000 pounds. It only takes 30 pounds of pressure to move it.
 

 

It will be next to the vehicle car wash; will it get ruined buy moisture?

by | Oct 21, 2022 | FAQs

You’re considering 360Booth®, and the only space you have available is right next-door to your detail department, and you think it may be an issue.

It’s not going to be an issue. Now, unless your detailers start crazily spraying the cars and it’s getting the cloth top all wet; that will stain. I wouldn’t recommend that, but the walls are plastic. Everything is steel-powder coated. It’s not going to be a problem.

Let me evaluate your space. I’ll do it at no cost. I’ll travel to your space. I’ve been to Anchorage, Alaska, New Zealand, Australia, Guam. I’ll go anywhere to listen to somebody who wants to take their photos to the next level and grow market share and higher gross. Give us a shot.

But to answer your question: Yes, you can put it right next-door to your detail bay. You do not need a wall or a partition.
 

 

Does the studio space need heat and or AC?

by | Oct 21, 2022 | FAQs

Will your space that you developed, like this one, need to have AC or heat? That is entirely up to you. Let me explain.

When I rented this space, we used our studio for testing and beta testing a ton of cameras and ideas. I’m in Florida, and I don’t know if you can tell, but I’m a little “dewy.” We don’t spend eight or nine hours per day in here shooting, and we have some fans around, so I chose not to do an AC.

I’ve personally been in spaces in Canada and New Jersey, and one experience was eight degrees. I walked into the studio, and the photographers were in a mask and gloves. It was eight degrees.

What happened to the studio? Absolutely nothing. The plastic, though, when we put the seams together, because of the cold air, shrinks, and it creates a little seam. You can’t see if the photos are shot properly. That’s the only thing that happens.

So, to answer your question, do you need AC or heat? That is entirely up to you.

I’ll ask you another question. If I had you shooting the cars, and you had to spend six hours in a freezing building, how long would you stay?
