Adding the WOW factor and a touch of fun to special events

Letters in Lights is synonymous with magic mirror photo booths and giant lights hire. Here, we speak to co-owner Alison Miskin to learn more.

Letters in Lights is  passionate about helping you create the best event, for any occasion – every time.

Alison explains: “We are a partnership – myself and Graham – and we are based near sunny Eastbourne, East Sussex.  We are passionate about life, making an impact and having fun social times.

“Letters in Lights is a part-time business that we operate in addition to our other careers. Over the years my main Careers have been working in a Bank and a Healthcare Assistant/support worker in the Community. Between us we have 5 grown up kids so we have plenty of family help with our business when needed.”

The business journey

Letters in Lights was founded in 2018.  Alison said: “I had some funds that I wanted to inject into a business to make them work for me. I am a party animal and very passionate about making the most out of life. Following the loss of many special people in my life, highlighted to me how precious life is.

“Graham and myself had attended events back in 2017 and we found the giant lights very eye-catching and experienced lots of fun in the photo booths and thought it would be a great idea to start a little business from what we loved.   

So, did they have any hesitation? “The initial concern for me was – would this business interfere with my own social life?” Alison admits.

“Yes, it could, but Graham was happy to attend the events with our products if I was not available.

“My role is networking, marketing and organising all our bookings – Graham is always on hand to do all deliveries and events.  I attend the events where I can. It doesn’t feel like a job at all and we love it.   

“I am not a natural saleswoman but, to be honest, our products sell themselves and I love chatting and meeting new people, so it’s a win-win situation.”

Letters in Lights is an expanding business and is currently looking to build relationships with those in the corporate sector. Alison and Graham aim to make new connections at the Sussex Business Show on September 28 at Brighton Dome.

They are also members of Sussex Chamber of Commerce and love to showcase their products at its annual expo.

What does Letters in Lights do?

Alison said: “Our magic  mirror photo booths add so much  extra fun at any corporate event, including team building, awards evenings, trade shows, christmas parties or as an ice breaker at corporate events.  We also add extra fun to any private event.

“All top quality props are provided and It’s brilliant for advertising your business too as your company logo and company message can be displayed on each print and the prints are instant. 

“We also attend charity events and we offer a charity discount too so that we can offer extra support in our community.

“Our four and five foot lights are a stunning and creative way to give you great visual impact, a unique way of getting your message across, making amazing photo opportunities and event styling at its best.”
