Technical nuances
A soap show does not require complex equipment; usually a stage or small area is enough. If you are planning a professional performance, you will need an outlet to connect additional devices. Well, the main components of great entertainment are skilled artists and a good mood.
Advice! If you are afraid of sticky stains on the clothes and skin of your guests, we recommend using professional products or contacting specialists. Modern artists use compositions that leave no traces, which means nothing will spoil the pleasure of the show.
What may be a problem is the floor. If the room where you are going to have a wedding uses tiles or laminate, then bubbles can not only leave marks, but also make the coating very slippery, and this is already dangerous. Performers must be warned so that they have the opportunity to take action - lay out their own non-slip surface, change the composition to a less sticky one, or promptly remove all traces after the performance.
Any show with bubbles assumes that there are no drafts that prevent the balloons from being blown out the right size or change their flight path. When having a wedding outdoors, it is worth thinking through the actions in advance - in case of strong or abruptly changing direction of the wind, a special screen is installed. Better yet, hold the show in a closed tent.
Unfortunately, the composition of soap bubbles is not hypoallergenic, so if the show involves not only visual, but also close tactile contact, it may be better to sacrifice the element of surprise and warn guests in advance so that, in case of health problems, they can take the necessary medications or leave during performances at a safe distance . It wouldn’t hurt to try the bubbles before applying them to your skin.

Initial investment and payback
If you decide to take this business seriously and are going to purchase all the components from direct manufacturers, then the cost of the business package will be about 100 thousand rubles, which is a fairly small starting capital. This price does not include the purchase of new stage costumes and other expenses associated with this business.
The profit from running this business will depend on several factors. First of all, this is the entrepreneurial activity of the person himself, as well as the region in which he lives. It is clear that for small cities you will have to slightly reduce the cost of the show, because if the price is too high, you simply may not have a clientele.
The approximate price list for relatively large cities is as follows:
- small soap bubble show (20 minutes) - 3,000 rubles;
- performance with a person immersed in a soap bubble - 6,500 rubles;
- soap bubble show with smoke effects - 11,000 rubles;
- soap bubble show using lighting equipment - 13,000 rubles;
- soap bubble show, in which two artists participate - 14,500 rubles;
- a unique performance using various shows (about 1 hour) - 25,000 rubles.
These prices are quite reasonable considering the fact that the bubble show is ordered collectively.
As for the payback, it will depend on the prices that you set for your services. The city in which this type of business will be carried out is of considerable importance. Many entrepreneurs advise starting such an undertaking only in cities where at least 200 thousand people live, otherwise the payback may take longer. In general, if you approach the matter competently and creatively, then payback can be achieved after the first performances.
