Canada / St. Catharines
Photo booth St. Catharines
A Free Booth for the Garden City
St. Catharines is the biggest city in Niagara, with a university crowd, a growing downtown and a lakeside strip that comes alive every summer. A photo booth in St. Catharines gives any of those rooms a reason for groups to stop in. SmileMore installs it free, services it, and pays your venue a percentage of sales.

Why St. Catharines
Students, shows and summer by the lake
St. Catharines has its own crowd, separate from the tourist traffic in Niagara Falls.
- Brock University. A large student population keeps downtown bars and restaurants busy through the school year.
- A downtown with things on. The FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre and the Meridian Centre bring show and game crowds onto St. Paul Street.
- Port Dalhousie summers. The beach, the carousel and the waterfront patios draw families and groups every warm weekend.

Proof, not promises
Our first campus booth: what happened at NSU
Our first booth went into the lobby of the Don Taft University Center at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, wrapped in Sharks blue. Students found it on their own, and nobody on staff has to touch it. Ontario booths run on the same program with the same service. Move-in week drove a lot of month one, so read these numbers as a strong start, not a forecast.
