These days everyone likes free merchandise. T-shirts, sarcastically decorated coffee cups, tote bags that eventually become Trader Joe’s grocery bags, and cheap sunglasses with splashy logos on the lenses. There’s a lot more than that but who really has the space to store all that merch.
Merchandising places your brand, products, and projects directly into people’s lives and increases their awareness. They see your logo (or “swag as we like to call it), they use your merchandise and begin to develop a relationship with your brand. Over time, your audience will recognize your brand when they see it in their news feed or on a friend’s profile.
Recognition is key. It’s the pathway to becoming what every brand and logo aspires to be – a household name. And there’s no better way to get your brand in someone’s household than to use a photo booth as a platform.
Think about it. Guests line up, have a laugh together while readying their best face or goofiest smirk. They then choose a few awkward but fun props and stamp a few seconds in time forever, together(WITH YOUR LOGO ON IT-BOO-YA!). Here are the top eight business events (and trust us, there are plenty more) that your organization needs a corporate photo booth rental.
#1. Trade Shows
Trade shows are the battleground for bolstering brands and promoting your business. Vendors are playing blackjack with their business cards while representatives are trying to amplify excitement for their companies, new products, and upcoming events. What better way to get clients and hopeful business partners to remember your brand while having a good time than to get them in a photo booth. Photo booths can be set up to have your logos and brands printed on frames or overlays plus you can always have a customized background. Guests get to have fun taking photos at your booth or floor set and they’ll walk away with not only a keepsake and a laugh but with a long-lasting relationship-building experience with your brand. #WINNING
#2. Appreciation/Awards
Luncheon awards and dinner awards are always a celebratory scene and great for a corporate photo booth rental. Either your business associates or special clients are getting recognition or you’re celebrating a prosperous year. Sometimes appreciation events are set-up to help engage your team and encourage them to step up their game. A photo booth can step up your event by serving as a congratulatory memory card for a job well done.
#3. Holiday Parties
Some of your best photo booth pictures of all times will definitely be from your corporate holiday parties. Halloween offers the most sensational display of contrasting costumes: clowns posing with pirates, Star Wars creatures with cops, Batman and Elvis hanging out all with your company’s brand in the background. Whether it’s a Christmas party, New Year’s, or Cinco de Mayo, a holiday party invites positive vibes. Your clients bring friends, of course, the friends will take pictures in your photo booth and suddenly there are even more exclamation marks behind your brand. Props are always available when you rent a photo booth and this is a way to make your company party incredibly memorable just like you want your brand to be.
#4. Product Launches
Launching a product is exciting and customers want to be in on the action. Photo booths can be useful if you are launching a special project or product that you want to create buzz for. A photo booth is a fun way to bring people together while showing off the latest your company has to offer.
Sometimes during these events GIF Booths can really intensify the moment and bring the interaction to another level. Both photo booths and GIF booths promote not only a hell of a good time, but they als0 enables you to market your new product beyond just the event’s attendees. Instant social media sharing, which is available in all photo booth rentals, allows you to share the excitement around of your launch event.
#5. Business Dinners
The best part about a photo booth is that it can be whatever you want. If there is a themed occasion or a certain style meal, a photo booth rental can be customized to match the theme of the night. If your business dinner is formal, a photo booth placement with white-glove service can resemble an elegant touch to the evening affairs. If your business dinner is more like a barbeque and craft beer setting or even a pool party, the booth can be tweaked for the right mood. Asking for a promotion? Looking for the right time? Take a picture with your boss wearing snorkels. It can’t hurt.
#6. Conferences
Conferences are a great way for many different brands in one industry to come together, such as VidCon, BeautyCon, and Booth Con. Influencers and brands get to meet with their supporters and other like-minded individuals, host panel discussions, and collaborate. So what better way to remember those few days then with fun pictures at the photo booth. You can strike crazy poses and wear fun props and the best part is, you are able to create a customizable logo to go along with the photo booth and you can post directly to social media when you’re done (an influencers dream!). Even if the conference is a more formal setting, a photo booth will still bring excitement to the event and have everyone forgetting that they are there for work.
#7. Charity Events
A photo booth at a charity event is like adding sprinkles to what looks already like a delicious cake. Charity events are a great way to bond with people for a good cause and photo booths once again can bring people together while creating online buzz for your charity and event. Hey! You are here trying to create happiness and so are we.
#8. Team-Building Events
Lastly, this goes without saying. Encouraging employee engagement, stirring excitement, on-going training, continuing education, and general seminars become the perfect place for a photo booth. You will not only bring your team together but like we said – a photo booth stimulates camaraderie. When your team leaves your event with their photos in pocket and they’ll leave feeling a part of something. When they share these photos with their friends and family the experience will be received as a good time. People will know that working at your company and being a part of your brand is fun. And life should be fun… everyone wants more fun.
