Transform Events and Your Income

Imagine this: You’re at a wedding, surrounded by laughter, happy tears, and heartfelt toasts. Guests are lining up at a vintage-style phone, leaving playful messages, inside jokes, and emotional words for the couple. Later, the couple will listen to these messages and relive the magic of their day—forever.

That’s what an audio guestbook brings to an event: memories captured in their most authentic, unscripted form. And for you, it’s an opportunity to create something meaningful while building a profitable business.

I know because I’ve done it.

In late 2022, I added an audio guestbook to my photo booth business. By the end of 2023, I’d generated over $10,000 in additional revenue—all from offering this simple yet impactful service. But the real reward? Seeing the joy it brought to my clients. From a grandparent’s heartfelt words to hilarious messages from friends, these recordings became priceless treasures that clients could relive again and again.

If you’re ready to add this magic to your business, here’s how to get started.

Step 1: Invest in the Right Tools

Success starts with quality. You’ll need an audio guestbook phone that’s reliable, stylish, and easy to use. Phones like the White Palace, Black Esquire, or Ivory Legacy are perfect choices—they look stunning, work seamlessly, and match a variety of event themes.

Want to offer more variety without buying multiple phones? Consider bundles like The Mirror Collection, which includes one phone and interchangeable shells to create multiple looks. These tools give you versatility, making your services more attractive to clients and allowing you to offer options without inflating costs.

Step 2: Create a Standout Client Experience

Clients want their event to feel unique, and your service should reflect that. Go beyond simply renting a phone—provide thoughtful extras like prompt cards to inspire meaningful, funny, or heartfelt messages from guests. For example:

• “What’s your favorite memory with the couple?”
• “What advice do you have for their future?”
• “Share a funny or sweet story about the newlyweds.”

These small touches elevate the experience, making your service unforgettable.

Step 3: Market the Memories, Not Just the Phone

Picture this: A bride scrolling Instagram sees a video of a grandparent’s voice, recorded at a wedding on an audio guestbook. She imagines her own loved ones leaving messages—some funny, some heartfelt—and suddenly, she can’t picture her wedding without it.

That’s the power of selling the experience, not just the product.

Use visuals that tell the story. Photos of the phone in beautiful setups, reels showcasing real-life recordings (with permission), and testimonials from happy clients will help you connect emotionally with potential customers. Marketing materials like in our Silver Mirror Phone Marketing Materials package are a great way to ensure your business looks polished and professional right out of the gate.

Step 4: Price for Profit and Value

Starting your business with high-quality tools and thoughtful touches means you can confidently charge premium prices. Remember, you’re not just renting out equipment—you’re delivering an experience clients will treasure forever.

For example, you might create packages like:

• Basic Package: One phone, setup, and a digital audio file ($350+)
• Premium Package: Includes themed prompts and add-ons like a keepsake USB with all the recordings ($500+)

Pro tip: Bundle services with other rentals, like photo booths, to appeal to a wider range of clients.

Step 5: Build Your Brand and Bookings

Now it’s time to get your name out there. Create reels on Instagram that highlight the emotional side of your service. Share stories about the priceless moments your audio guestbook captures. Use testimonials to build credibility and excitement around your offerings.

Want to stand out even more? Share your why. Let clients see the passion and purpose behind your business. It’s not just about the phone—it’s about creating meaningful moments and lasting memories.

The Transformation for You and Your Clients

For your clients, an audio guestbook isn’t just a fun addition—it’s a time capsule. It captures the voices, laughter, and love of the people they care about most. It’s the kind of keepsake they’ll listen to over and over again, long after the party is over.

For you, this business is more than just a way to increase revenue. It’s an opportunity to be part of your clients’ happiest moments, to create something meaningful, and to build a business that fits your lifestyle. Whether it’s a side hustle or a full-time venture, starting an audio guestbook business can transform your life and theirs.
