About Mag-nificent
Mag-nificent started out in the summer of 2011. The business was created to mimic a business model that had been made popular in Europe. Although refrigerators across Europe were covered in photo magnets from events, they were carcely found in the US. Mag-nificent started with smaller events like birthdays and Bar-Mitzvahs. Before long, Mag-nificent was working with some of the biggest companies in the world.
The concept was simple. First, a custom, digital frame would be designed for each event. As opposed to stationary photo booths, Mag-nificent personnel would circulate throughout the event taking photographs of people having fun. Finally, those photos would be instantly printed on magnets and placed on a customized magnetic board for pickup. All images would be streamed to Mag-nificent's website, which people could access using the password on the back of each magnet. After a few months of fine tuning the product and process, our hunch proved right. Instant photo magnets quickly became popular at all kinds of events throughout Atlanta. It was not long before calls
from other parts of the country started coming in from people and planners that wanted instant photo magnets and their events. Wanting to appeal to a wider range of event types, several unique products were introduced that could be a fit for any occasion. The Mag-nificent Mobile App (aka the MagApp) was born in order to allow attendees to take photos from their phone, share to social media, and get a printout within minutes. In 2017, we took on going national.
