Your Entertainment Alternatives...

Although Shoemaker Entertainment is the only company offering the Shoemaker Jukebox (Patents Pending), we are acutely aware that there are many alternatives to renting a Shoemaker Jukebox. Those options include "The iPod Method", Mechanical Jukebox Rentals, or hiring a Professional DJ. This page might help you to understand the benefits of our unique entertainment option. .

Shoemaker Jukebox Rentals
Vs.
“The iPod Method”

• The iPod method requires that you first have an amplifier and speakers, items that are particularly difficult to find in the rental market. (The Shoemaker Jukebox comes with a professional quality sound system)
• Your home stereo system sounds nice and loud in your den, but may not be enough for an outdoor event or a catering hall filled with guests! (The Shoemaker Jukebox’s DJ quality sound will efficiently project high-quality sound in any size venue.)
• The iPod method requires you or someone you know to carry in and fuss with the sound equipment prior to your event. (The Shoemaker Jukebox Rental service includes free delivery, setup, and pickup.)
• iPods have a tiny screen which makes it difficult to find and select songs. (The Shoemaker Jukebox has a 15 inch touch screen and an easy to use interface designed specifically for the private party market.)
• An iPod’s small screen and song selection methods are intended for personal use and do not allow interaction between the guests at the party. (The Shoemaker Jukebox is designed to allow collaboration between your guests at the party which makes choosing the right song a form of entertainment in itself!)
• It’s easy for someone to mess up the party by changing the song, or the active playlist on an iPod by pressing the wrong button or by pressing it the wrong way! (The Shoemaker Jukebox is designed to handle requests in a way that will not stop the music, or ruin your event.)
• Your iPod has the music YOU like; my iPod has the music I like. (The Shoemaker Jukebox has music EVERYONE will like!)
• If creating playlists for your event, the iPod method will require you to download the music you want before you can even begin creating the playlists. (Our online pre-request system will allow you to create playlists prior to your event with less hassle.)

Authentic 45RPM and CD Console Jukebox Rentals
versus
Shoemaker Jukebox Rentals

Shoemaker Entertainment has been providing high quality DJ services since 1998. So, why would a DJ company promote a lower-cost alternative to hiring a DJ!??? That’s because our experience has proven that not all events require the services of a live disc jockey . You may be looking for the music selection, the sound and lighting equipment and the convenience that comes with hiring a full service entertainment company – but you don’t need the DJ himself!

• Every disc jockey’s music library varies in size and quality (All Shoemaker Jukebox DJ Systems come packed with over 30,000 high-quality songs)
• Some DJs specialize in a limited genre of music (The Shoemaker Jukebox has the greatest hits from the 1940s until today!)
• Not all disc jockeys keep their music up to date (The Shoemaker Jukebox DJ System is updated every week with the Top 40 charts)
• DJs become gate-keepers who prevent your request from being played (It’s easy to make your request on the Shoemaker Jukebox’s touch screen interface)
• Many DJs play what THEY want to hear (Our online pre-request system ensures that the Shoemaker Jukebox plays what YOU want, not the DJ!)
• Loud-mouth DJs can get annoying (The Shoemaker Jukebox comes with a free wireless microphone; it’s up to you how you use it!)
