Are you planning a grand opening and need some extra publicity for your business? If so, then you might want to book a photo booth for your grand opening. With the right photo booth, you can take advantage of the attention-grabbing photo booth props and have fun with your guests. 

Booths will also help you generate buzz for your business and create memories that will last a lifetime for everyone.

When it comes to grand openings, you want to do everything you can to ensure that your business gets the attention it deserves.

A grand opening photo booth rental can help by:

Creating Experiential Marketing

Sometimes, a little experience can go a long way in helping you run a successful grand opening. The booths of today have a lot more to offer than in the past. One of the neat concepts that we’ve seen is clients renting the wall mosaic photo booth for their event.

Imagine your logo, hidden away and not filled in, and as each guest takes a picture in the booth, a new square opens up.

Guests will be intrigued and entertained as each person that takes a photo opens a new square, which will eventually become your logo. It’s a very interesting concept and a part of experiential marketing that works very well for corporate and grand opening events.

Generating Buzz for Your Business

Want an effective way to help your grand opening bring in potential customers? One method is to take photos – lots of them. But with a booth rental, you’re turning all of your guests into part of your marketing team.

How?

People love social media. Imagine one of your guests stepping into your photo booth, and posting and tagging the picture on social media. If the person’s friends are near your grand opening, chances are, that they’ll stop by, too.

The type of viral promotion that your guests can create is invaluable.

We even have a social photo booth that will take your rental to the next level with:

  • A booth that’s designed for social media

  • Easy, efficient posting to social accounts

Your grand opening deserves to be a success, and that’s what the right booth can do for you. Social media just helps amplify the promotional and marketing potential of a standard booth and brings a standard booth into the 21st century.

Give Your Guests Something to Do

A grand opening is fun, but your guests will want something to do. When you have a photo booth on-site, it allows guests the opportunity to break free from the professionalism and have fun.

Or if people are waiting to say “hello” to the owner or watch a demo but there’s a long line, a booth may keep them around long enough for the line to thin.

Photo booths aren’t the only attraction that you’ll want to have for a grand opening, but they can help you generate buzz and keep your guests entertained. We have a variety of grand opening photo booth rentals available that can help add a new, fun element to your launch 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.
