The Popularity of Photo Booths at Events
Hiring a photo booth for parties such as weddings, proms and corporate events has become commonplace over the last decade. You’d be hard-pressed to find a wedding or staff Christmas party that doesn’t feature some kind of photo booth whilst they are also becoming more popular at exhibitions and trade shows. Over more recent years, they have evolved to incorporate the latest technology, with many now featuring many advanced features such as augmented reality, touch-screen technology and interactivity.
There are now many different types of photo booths available to hire, from the Magic Mirror Booth to inflatable photo booths and even vintage booths and the latest craze, the i360 booth.
If you’re considering a photo booth or a Magic Mirror to promote your business or entertain your employees at your next work ‘do’, then read on!
Top Reasons to Hire A Photo Booth For Corporate Events
There are numerous benefits to adding a photo booth to your corporate event, here are some of the main benefits:
#1 A great way to entertain your team
If you’re throwing a work Christmas party, a team-building day, an awards ceremony or any kind of annual work celebration, hiring a photo booth is a great way to keep everyone entertained and encourage your employees to bond.
Many photo booths, such as the Magic Mirror, are fully interactive, giving your team not just the chance to have their photos taken together and customise them, but often making everyone laugh too!
#2 Everyone Gets A Souvenir To Take Home
Give your valued team something to remember your work celebration with, or you are exhibiting at a trade show or conference, a photo booth is a great way to give everyone something to remember your brand.
Most photo booths will print physical photos which can be customised with your colours, branding and logo which helps the photo booth to work very well as a branding tool
#3 Makes The Perfect Feature
A photo booth makes a great feature and space filler at any event, and corporate events are no exception! Our corporate clients often incorporate their booths into the decor and design of the space, ensuring a stunning look for any event!
#4 The perfect way to thank your team for all of their hard work
A photo booth is a great way to thank your team for their work and contributions to your company, everyone loves taking photos and a photo booth gives everyone the opportunity to do this!
They are also a great option for award ceremonies, allowing your staff to have something to take home to remember their achievements for many years to come.
#5 Most Photo Booths Can be Branded
Not only do photo booths look great and attract a lot of attention already, but they can also be branded to fully match your event, branding and exhibition stand.
Depending on the type of photo booth you choose, there are many different ways to brand them. For example, the Magic Mirror Photo Booth can be vinyl-wrapped so that the sides are fully covered in your branding and graphics whilst the touch-screen button can also be custom-designed.
On most photo booths, the printed photos can also be fully customised to match your event and incorporate your company’s colours.
Additionally, many photo booth rental companies also offer custom props, which can even be custom-designed!
Our LED inflatable wall booth can even be branded with projections, such as in the above photo!
#6 Helps People To Remember Your Brand & Gravitate To Your Stand
If you’re exhibiting and want to maximise the exposure of your brand, just having a photo booth present is a guaranteed way to ensure people gravitate to your stand, especially if you have a unique type of photo booth, such as a Magic Mirror.
Everyone loves having their photos taken, especially if they get to take their own printed copy home! We often hear back from our corporate clients about how their stand was one of the busiest just because they hired a photo booth!
The branded print-outs also ensure no one forgets your brand when they go home!
#7 Open photo booths allow 20+ people to be included in the photos
If you’re hiring a photo booth for a corporate event, the latest range of open photo booths such as the Magic Mirror and LED Inflatable Photo Booth amongst others are open, often allowing more than 20 people to fit comfortably into the photos.
This works very well for Christmas parties and other staff celebrations, where the whole team often want to take group photos.
The Best Types of Photo Booths For Corporate Events
As we mentioned above, there are many different types of photo booths that are popular at corporate events.
Some of them are more suitable than others, for example, open photo booths work very well whilst closed booths can be less suitable as they often only fit a small number of people inside and take up a lot more space.
The most suitable photo booths for corporate events include any open booth such as the Magic Mirror, vintage photo booths and any freestanding slimline booths. You can fit up to 20 people in front of many of these booths and being open, it allows everyone to see all the fun your guests are having!
In recent years the i360 booth has taken off a lot in popularity, both for weddings and corporate events. Whilst they can be great for many different types of corporate events, a standard open photo booth can be better suited for exhibitions because the i360 does not print physical photos and it can take longer for guests to have a go as they are prompted to email themselves a video instead of receiving instantly printed photos. However, it is an open photo booth and remains very popular at many types of corporate events!
