TapSnap phototainment system ready to shake up the New Jersey wedding scene, rock New York City parties

TapSnap has arrived in Northern New Jersey (just a hop, skip and jump across the Hudson from New York City) and it’s taking the wedding photo booth trend to an entirely different level. Launched this Spring with over 30 operators across North America, TapSnap is creating the first truly national photo entertainment franchise.

“Every wedding I went to in the last year had a photo booth,” said 32-year-old Milton Guerrero, a Cedar Knolls, N.J. resident who is the local owner of the newly minted TapSnap franchise. “But TapSnap breaks the mold of the traditional photo booth. Because that giant screen is out there in the open, it draws a lot of attention and brings the crowd together. There’s a lot more interaction and it’s a lot more social than the traditional photo booth.”

Instantly connected to social media, TapSnap allows event guests to take their picture with a touch of the fingertip to the giant 42-inch multi-touch screen, and add digital props like celebrity faces, giant sunglasses or sports props like a basketball. When they are done, they can share their creation instantly via social media networks and email, or print their photo to take home.

If there’s one thing New Jersey has in abundance, it’s weddings. The good news for Guerrero is there are over 46,600 a year in New Jersey and brides here spend on average 25 per cent more on their wedding budget than the national average – $31,983 compared to $25,631, according to statistics produced in 2012 by the Weddingreport.com.

In Morris County where Guerrero lives, the average budget is even higher at $36,140, 41 per cent above the average U.S. wedding.

A Revolutionary Phototainment System.
Instantly Social & Utterly Fun!

Guerrero is one of over 30 TapSnap franchise owners across North America which includes businesses in Houston, Minneapolis, Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles and more.

Because most TapSnap events will take place on evenings and weekends, Guerrero will be able to operate his machine in conjunction with his other business as an acquisitions manager in real estate.

TapSnap will make its New York City debut on May 19, volunteering for with Brides Against Breast Cancer for their Charity Wedding Gown Sale and show, that raises funds for cancer patients and their families.

His machine was also at an event hosted by the national wedding Web site, TheKnot.com, on April 11 at the Bloomingdales in Long Island’s Roosevelt Field Mall.

“I fell in love with TapSnap right away,” says Guerrero. “It is elegant and looks like something I’ve never seen before. And the social media aspect is a huge selling point. I think it will do well.”

Scott McInnes, the CEO and Founder says: “Photo booths have been around forever, but the equipment didn’t keep pace with technology. TapSnap is light years ahead of the traditional photo booth, and because it’s open-concept, everyone gets to play. I’ve never seen people have so much fun getting their picture taken.”

NJ Event Planner & Invitation Designer Collaborate to Introduce Video Invite for Weddings & Events

Jewel Georgieff and Yvette Sencion launch their design for video invitations at The Wedding Salon luxury bridal event in NYC

New York, NY — On a warm afternoon in the summer of 2012, after searching for ideas to create a signature collection that would offer her brides more unique and personalized options, Jewel Georgieff of Jewel Georgieff Wedding Design (a division of Jewel Party Solutions LLC) found what she had been searching for and immediately contacted her friend and colleague, Luxury Paperie Artisan, Invitation Designer and owner of Sdezigns LLC, Yvette Sencion.

“I loved Yvette`s work, she is simply hands down the best around, I would recommend her to everyone, I just knew anything she came up with would be fabulous and was just dying to collaborate with a professional like her,” says Jewel of her collaboration with the designer.

Fast forward after many chats with a supplier, design meetings and fun shopping excursions (sometimes with kids in tow), Yvette and Jewel debuted the now exclusive signature collection called “The Georgieff,” featuring luxury white silk embroidered wish box with a digital slide show, coordinating menu cards, circular boxed invitations and the star of the collection: THE LUXURY VIDEO INVITATION!

That’s right you heard it, a mailable invitation with a mini LCD screen that is lightweight and customizable so couples and party hosts can upload a video message inviting their guest to their celebration, wedding or corporate event!

Yvette can custom design the invitation overlay to suit any color scheme, theme and style of any event or wedding. The line debuted at the ‘Wedding Salon Luxury Bridal Showcase’ on Monday, April 22, 2013 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC to fantastic reactions from brides-to-be and other attendees! Grooms especially loved the little LCDs!

The Invitations were displayed in elegant luxury boxes amongst Yvette Sencion`s exclusive designs and a tribute to earth day table-scape designed by Jewel Georgieff.

Contrary to what some may believe, the event industry is not a cut throat grouping of competing vendors and professionals. Event professionals come together every day to create the dreams of their clients, and in this instance they come together to bring new designs and introduce new ideas and products to a new market.

Thanks to this collaborative effort, Jewel Georgieff, the only local Event designers to have her own signature collection design by Yvette Sencion of Sdezigns, and Yvette is the only local Invitation Designer in the region with the Video Invitation available for custom orders.

Orders for the “Georgieff Collection” and custom Luxury Video Invitations (#videoinvitation) can be placed only through Yvette directly at Sdezigns, LLC or Jewel Georgieff Wedding Design.

When asked why Long Beach Island was a consideration for her wedding plans, Ashley replied that she’s an “LBI beach girl” and has spent time on the island, taking day trips to Loveladies and Beach Haven over the years. Also, with her being from Northern NJ and Pete being from Southern NJ, Long Beach Island provides a centralized location for them, their friends and family. She considers LBI to have a different feel than other New Jersey beaches, and enjoys taking relaxing drives throughout the island. Her ideal wedding would be on the beach, where she and Pete could take memorable pictures. She and Pete met and began dating while attending Stockton College and were engaged in June 2012. They have a tentative wedding date of Spring 2015.

After attending several bridal shows around New Jersey to get ideas and costs for various wedding services, Ashley and Pete are looking forward to attending the Wedding Road Show to further explore the Long Beach Island region!

Renewing Your Wedding BUSINESS Vows

I had the pleasure of presenting the topic of “Renewing Your Wedding BUSINESS Vows” to the Jersey Shore Association (JSWA) on Tues., 2/26/13 at the Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch, NJ

We all understand the idea of a couple renewing their marriage vows, usually after they’ve reached a certain milestone in their relationship, but as wedding professionals, how often have you said “I Do” (again) to your wedding business? What got you started in doing what you do in your career, and why do you go to work every day? What’s your company vision and mission? What’s the STORY of your business? Do you absolutely LOVE what you do? Well, then why not fall in love with it again (read this article by business expert Michael Gerber on this topic)?

After 15 years of publishing NJWedding.com (and having just celebrated our 16^th), this milestone makes me rethink the way we do things and find new, innovative ways to spend our time building our business and serving our clients and wedding community.

To RENEW is to “commit” again to your business, your systems, your vision and mission, and your outlook on what you can achieve (and make a plan for how to get there). Other “R” words also come to mind: Refresh, Reevaluate, Restore, Reorganize, Renovate, Revitalize, Retool, Renovate, Revitalize, Revive, Reestablish, Resume, Respect, Rejeuvinate, Restart, Retool, Review, Rebirth, Reinvent (we could do this for a while, but you get the idea…).

AT NJWedding.com, the company listings for our advertisers are up for renewal each year, and usually during this time period, we’re reexamining their listing to see what changed, and in these days of new connections on social media, finding out if they’ve added accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and other marketing channels so we could connect and incorporate these new features into their advertising plan.  In our company, we also analyze our “business systems” to see what’s working, what’s not, and how to fix it, and we plan out objectives we want to reach in order to grow.

When was the last time you said “I Do” (Again) to your wedding business and set new goals for yourself, too?

As an exercise for YOUR business, let’s examine the importance of setting goals when it comes to reevaluating your plan from year to year. Often people will make “resolutions” at the start of the year, and ultimately, these resolutions last only a few months. Instead, having clearly defined, written goals is an important step in achieving continued success. Motivational speaker Zig Ziglar says that only 3% of people write down their goals, and those that do, have a constant reminder of what their objective is and realize success — would that make sense to do so for you, too?

GOALS EXERCISE (take out an index card and write down the following, and then keep it with you throughout the year, often referring to it, and even revising if necessary)

1. Sales / Month = Yearly Objective (How much $ do you want to bring in to the company?)
2. Number of New Clients / Month = Total Number (This adds to business growth and gives you a good foundation for referrals, too)
3. Big Project: What’s one MAJOR accomplishment you want this year that can really help your business achieve more growth or success? Don’t put it off!

Understanding New Media, Wedding Business Trends - Are you up on all the latest technology and tools that your customers are also using? Have you set up accounts on all the major social media platforms, started a blog, and update your facebook page on a regular basis? It’s important to remember that you need to be everywhere you can be so that your potential client can find and reach you, so keeping your web site current, making sure it’s available on mobile devices, and also understanding the latest wedding statistics and industry trends can contribute to your business in many ways.

Marketing – Who is the market for your products and services and has that changed? Do you know the latest statistics in the marketplace and have you adapted?

Advertising/PR – Is your strategy effective and do you have a well-balanced plan to reach your future clients? How often are you telling the “story” of your business to the media and submitting articles to newspapers, magazines, blogs and other online sources? Brides are constantly looking for new info and trends and will trust an expert in the field if they see them often enough.

Professional Development – Commit to, as author and speaker Tony Robbins says, “constant and never-ending improvement” by joining associations, and actively attending industry meetings. Review and renew your vision, mission and goals at least once a year and be open to change.

I will keep up with technology, social media, and blogging and make sure my web site and facebook page is up to date.
