Start smarter. Scale faster. Own your market.
If you’re going DIY, get ready to drop $45,000+ in year one — and most of that isn’t even revenue-producing:
$9,500 on gear
$5,000 for a site
$8,400 in ads
Fees, subscriptions, and a whole lot of guesswork
With LuxeBooth?
It’s plug-and-play. Proven system, trusted brand, and zero wasted motion.
Speed wins. So does leverage.
Let’s get surgical:
LuxeBooth licensees:
$1,041 per event
No ad spend
No trial and error
20% license fee, but you’re getting booked at premium rates — not begging for leads
DIYers:
~$750 per event
$18K/year in ads
Conversion bottlenecks
Lower perceived value = smaller profits
This calculator above? It’s not just for fun. It’s math-backed proof that brand + SEO beats solo hustle every time.
Use the calc above. But here’s the TLDR:
LuxeBooth: 8–10 events/month = full-time income
DIY: 12–15 just to survive (and pray ad costs don’t spike)
One has leverage. One has overhead. You pick.
Then you’re exactly who this was built for.
We don’t hand you a booth and say “good luck.” We hand you a proven brand, a high-converting site, SEO that’s already ranking, and a team that runs the backend.
You focus on events. We handle the internet.
DIY = 3 to 6 months (if you’re disciplined)
LuxeBooth = live in 30 days with bookings already coming in
We’re not building. We’re deploying.
Trust and traffic. If you don’t have those, you have nothing.
No reviews = No social proof
No rankings = No leads
No brand = No pricing power
This business doesn’t reward the best operator. It rewards the most trusted operator. LuxeBooth gives you that Day 1.
Because the world doesn’t pay for effort. It pays for outcomes.
Starting from scratch is like trying to win a marathon barefoot. Licensing LuxeBooth is like starting the race in a Tesla.
We’re not selling booths. We’re giving you a business that books.
