Photo Booths at Corporate Events – FAQs

With the idea of photo booths at corporate events still relatively new in the grand scheme of the business world, we’ve seen numerous questions regarding the topic of late. If you’re a business and need some questions answered, keep reading because this one is for you!

How does it work?

 

If you decide you want a photo booth at your next corporate event for staff, clients, suppliers, or any other stakeholder, it starts with a phone call. For example, at Abbey Road Entertainment, we can be as involved as you want us to be from planning everything to just turning up on the day with your photo booth and other equipment.

Nowadays, you’ll find all sorts of options including a vintage photo booth, enclosed photo booth, booths that show instructions in a mirror, others that create a boomerang, and even some that allow you to create a flip book of images. After getting in contact, the company will arrive and set everything up and have it ready for all guests to enjoy.

Why should I choose a photo booth?

In truth, there are several reasons why photo booths can be useful at a corporate event but how can we start anywhere other than the fun your guests will have? Especially if they’re all strangers, a photo booth breaks the ice and allows them to walk away with something tangible. If you’re celebrating your staff, a photo booth will allow them to create memories, take photos home, and solidify their relationship as friends as well as co-workers.

In addition to this, you’ll have your branding all over social media when guests upload and this immediately builds an interest in the friends of your guests. When it comes to marketing, a photo booth can be very beneficial indeed.

What do I have to do?

 

As long as you choose the right company, you won’t have to do a thing. Once the call is made and you’ve booked a photo booth, from the slo-mo view booth to the social photo booth, you won’t need to worry. On the day, the photo booth company will arrive, get set up, and then leave an employee to run the booth and ensure everything runs smoothly.

Is it costly?

 

Compared to the numbers we’ve seen flying around the internet, photo booths are affordable but they should be seen as an investment as opposed to a cost. If you plan the event correctly, the photo booth, with your branding wrapped around it, will appear on social media and it’ll be talked about by your guests. Within a few days, this should generate numerous leads and you’ll be receiving phone calls all day.

On the other hand, the photo booths you hire to thank staff will go down a treat. Instantly, they feel more valued, they appreciate the company, and they’ll be willing to go the extra mile for your company in the future.

Should I pair it with something else?

Depending on the type and size of your event, you might decide to pair the photo booth with something else and this is completely up to you. For example, you can choose game show equipment, casino rentals, fun foods, karaoke rentals, game rentals, simulator rentals, and more. In our experience, we like to talk with the companies and what they’re trying to achieve before suggesting solutions that could work. If you’re thanking the staff with an evening event with children, going some way to keep the children entertained will keep all guests happy and proud of your efforts.
