Corporate event planning begins 8 to 12 months in advance, and one of the choices you should be making this year is whether or not you want to rent a photo booth. When your corporate event needs to keep guests entertained, a photo booth can help.

How?

3 Reasons Why Photo Booth Rentals Keep Corporate Events Interesting

1. Showcase Your Brand

A wall mosaic photo booth is one of the best ways to market your brand, and you’ll be able to do it in a way that keeps all attendees interested. In fact, attendees that continue to take pictures in the booth will slowly create the mosaic to promote your brand.

For example, let’s assume that you’re introducing a new product to market that you plan on unveiling the logo for at your event.

You can have guests intimately involved in the process with your mosaic photo booth rentals.
The suspense of seeing the logo slowly introduced to the world will keep all attendees interested and can make the unveil go viral.

But that’s just one type of photo booth.

You can also rent models that allow you to add your logo to the print-out pictures for long-term branding. And in today’s social media-centric world, these pictures are sure to be posted on social media accounts of attendees across multiple platforms.

2. Entertainment During the Less-Interesting Moments

What will your attendees do when they’re bored or uninterested? Sit on their phones?

You can break this cycle by offering a photo booth that attendees can enter and take pictures in. If you want even more control over the event, you can include the free form model that is akin to a selfie camera.

Assign a team member to go through the crowd and take pictures.

If people get bored, a photo booth offers:
• An additional form of entertainment to engage in
• Photos that act as souvenirs to guests

Corporate event planners that have spent the time and resources to plan the event will fill in potential engagement gaps by renting the right photo booth.

3. Uncapturable Moments

Corporations will use the photos from events for an entire year, and they will use them as a means to promote past events, too. The event planner is likely to hire a photographer who will take the time to capture all of the event’s best moments.

But most of the best moments happen behind the scenes.

When guests enter a photo booth, that is when they’re most relaxed. This is the raw moment that will last a lifetime. Corporations can use these photos to post on:
• Blog posts
• Social media
• Marketing material

Is it worth renting a photo booth for your corporate event? Yes. The multi-purpose functionality of booths makes them a vital part of every event.

Pride In Our Work

Why We Do What We Do

Photography has always meant something to us. It’s where we got our start, after all. Being able to capture and preserve a moment or memory isn’t something you can get with anything else.

As everything becomes more and more digital, photography (and by extension, photo booths) have to keep up with the times. That’s why we always try and stay as up-to-date and modern as we can with our photo booths.

Many people decide against booking a photo booth because they think they’re outdated or tacky. Granted, some still are. If we’re talking about some dusty curtain booth shoved in a corner with no attendant, then yes, we agree. They are tacky. But the booths we provide at PBPC are always cutting-edge and top-of-the-line. You won’t find any tacky booths in our repertoire.
