YouTube video by Chris Koerner presenting a small-business idea: a rentable, portable "photo room" (inflatable/transportable props) for events. Koerner argues the product sells because people want "Instagramable" experiences, suggests low build cost ("a couple grand"), and outlines grassroots sales tactics (cold-emailing local corporations and on-site demos). He references a full business plan in the video.
Look at this freaking thing right here. It's a portable photo room and they charge hundreds to thousands of dollars to rent it for hours or days at a time. You could build this thing yourself all in for a couple grand. These girls are renting them out to friends, parties, corporate events, farmers market fairs, you name it. Why does this idea work? Because people want Instagramable experiences and that's exactly what this provides. And because of the fact that most of the props are inflatable, you can move them anywhere you want to go. If I were going to start this business, I would scrape a list of every corporation within an hour of me and just start cold emailing people. Better yet, set up shop outside their business and start taking pictures of yourselves as the employees walk in and then reach out to them after they see that and your email will be 100 times more likely to be answered. I made the full business plan for this right here.
