In response to Kyle Haden's comment and discussion on photographs per vehicle with 9 being the "magic number" ?

We are the premier inventor, designer and builder of Auto Photo Booths. Located in Troy, Michigan our background of 20+ years is in automobile photography.  


We build Photo Booths-both Drive Thru and Turn Table.  Think carwash with "surrond sound" cameras.

This has been our experience.  The first most important thing is great lighting and HI- Res images. While the number of views

is important, we find that 9 works great for our Drive-Thru units. A customer who has two Drive-Thru units, tells us that they get more clicks and time on the page with 9 views, resulting in an increase of out-of-state sales by 30%. This is an auction house customer doing 300 vehicles per day, 9 exterior views, direct to the website in 15 seconds with a tracking code, all this is totally automated.  The operator spends zero time uploaded images.


In addition to the Drive-Thru Booths designed for a higher volume (125 cars per day),  we design and built Turn-Table units for 25 to 50 cars per day-9 to 36 Views. 


The style of Auto Photo Booth that fits into a operation is directly based on your specific requirements; daily volume and automation specs.


Nine views work great, the most important aspect is not how many, but how good.
