It was a regular Sunday night whenever Kate Johnson owner of Smiley Booth, a photo booth hire company made a great interesting discover on Twitter. Small Business Sunday is a competition run by Theo Paphitis. Every Sunday Theo invites businesses such as Smiley Booth to send him a tweet about their business between 5 as well as 7:30pm. Theo then personally looks through all of the tweets and chooses his favourite entries to retweet to his 163,000 followers, causing huge exposure for the business involved.
Having just been on Twitter for a couple of weeks Kate saw the competition as well as sent Theo the tweet "An event +SmileyBooth =guaranteed fun, excitement & memories to treasure forever. See for yrself www.smiley-booth.co.uk". An hr later on, whilst at a wedding with the photo booth, Kate saw the Smiley Booth inbox filled with messages of congratulations from all the brand new followers!
Kate cheekily replied to Theo saying that they hope to see him in one of the picture booths one day. Little did she know that just two months later on, that would definitely come true!
Theo and his event team booked a pic booth as part of the entertainment for the annual Ryman as well as Boux Avenue Conference which took put at the Sherwood Forest Centre Parcs.
The Smiley Booth team arrived towards the finish of the meeting to set the picture booth up for the evening celebrations. In an hour the production team as well as staff at Centre Parcs had changed the meeting suites into a glittering black and red banquet, as well as the photo booth fitted in beautifully. The theme for the evening was Hollywood Legends, which created for some great picture booth pictures featuring characters from Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Batman as well as stars from Marilyn Monroe to Clint Eastwood.
The frivolities continued into the small hours along with a weary, (however still smiley!) booth team hit the sack at 4am! The following day Kate tweeted Theo to ask if he enjoyed the picture booth hire experience to which he replied, "loved it, would definitely highly recommend". A very Smiley Dragon!
