Are 360 Photo Booths actually worth it?
Do you really need a 360 Video Booth at your next event?
People of Perth, we’re a little biased when we say YES YOU ABSOLUTELY DO (but that’s just us here at 360 Video & Photo Booth Hire) Don’t take our word for it, just keep reading about the benefits and why this could make your party the most memorable event of the year.
The 360 Video booth is arguably one of the best new trends on the event planning market. The innovative set up is so different from a traditional photo booth (which is still going strong by the way) and allows your guests to experience self love in a whole new way!
What is a 360 Photo Booth?
A 360 video booth is not just another photo booth; it’s an immersive experience. Unlike traditional photo booths that capture still images, a 360 video booth records a full 360-degree video of your guests. This means every angle, every smile, and every dance move is captured, creating a really fun keepsake from your birthday party, engagement, wedding or even business launch.
- Unforgettable Guest Experience: One of the main reasons to consider a 360 video booth is the unique experience it offers. Guests can step into the booth, dance, blow a kiss or wear a prop and receive a very cool slow motion video that they can share instantly on social media. This interactive element can really make a huge difference in getting people more involved in the event itself.
- Social Media Buzz: Creating shareable content for social media is a must in 2024. A 360 video booth provides high-quality, fun videos that guests post straight away which is also possible because all videos are downloadable instantly. One of the other benefits to the instant sharing option is that your event or business name often gets more organic exposure because of these videos!
- Customisation Options: Modern 360 video booths come with a variety of customisation options. You can brand the booth and the videos with your event’s theme, logos, and messages. This is great because every shared video ends up becoming a powerful user generated piece of content.
What about the negatives?
Are there actually any negatives for this brilliant piece of machinery? While there may not be any negatives with using or hiring a 360 Photo Booth, there are things that event planners and organisers do need to consider before making the commitment to hire one.
- Cost: High-tech equipment and advanced features come at a price. A 360 video booth can be significantly more expensive than traditional photo booths. Depending on your budget, this might be an issue.
- Space Requirements: These booths generally require more space than a standard photo booth. If your event venue is limited in space, it can be challenging to find the right amount of space for this.
- Technical Glitches: Technology can be unpredictable. This is why we always have a booth operator on site to make sure things run smoothly.
What kind of events do the 360 Video Booths suit?
If you need some ideas on the type of events, consider the below:
- Event Type and Theme: A 360 video booth is ideal for those interactive kind of events slike weddings, corporate parties, product launches, and festivals. If you want more participation in your event, this is a really great way to break the ice with guests.
- Who are your guests: Understanding your audience is so important and this includes what type of people will be attending the event. If your guests are likely to enjoy and engage with modern technology and social media, they will probably appreciate a 360 video booth. But a more traditional audience might not find it as appealing (we’ve seen many converts though so this is a grey area).
- Budget: Your budget is a huge factor when planning an event and including a 360 photo booth is no different. If a 360 video booth suits your event’s goals and you have the funds to support it, it’s really worth it to please your guests and promote your brand.
- Venue Logistics: Assess your venue’s space and make sure there are the required power points and service lifts available. There needs to be enough room for the booth and for the guests to line up and wait for their turn.
Conclusion
Ultimately, if your event’s focus is on creating memorable experiences, and you have the budget to make this happen, a 360 video booth can be a fantastic addition. It’s an investment in your guests’ enjoyment and your event’s overall impact, making it a worthwhile consideration for your next big event.
