If you're an executive or event director planning a gala for your non-profit, you may have considered adding a photo booth. But, how does a photo booth work at a non-profit gala? This article will answer that question and more, helping you understand how this interactive feature can add value to your event.

Setup

The photo booth company will take care of the setup, ensuring that everything is ready before your guests arrive. The booth, usually portable and compact, is set up in a space that's visible yet doesn't interfere with the flow of the event.

Operation

Your guests approach the booth, choose from a selection of fun props that can be tailored to your event theme or non-profit's cause, and strike a pose! The booth is super user-friendly and designed to be operated without an attendant, however every Ever After booth activation includes a booth attendant to ensure a perfect event.

Printing & Sharing

After a picture is taken, it is immediately printed in high-quality format for your guests to keep as a souvenir of your gala. Some photo booths also offer a digital copy of the image, like with Ever After, we can send the photo to your guest via text message. This is particularly beneficial for non-profit galas, as guests can share their photos on social media, giving your organization additional visibility.

Branding

A key feature of photo booths for non-profit galas is the ability to brand the photos. Your organization's logo or event information can be placed on each photo, reminding guests of your cause whenever they look at their picture. At Ever After, we encourage our clients to have several photo booth sponsors, and we will add their branding as well to help increase the value of their sponsorship.

Archiving

Your organization will receive a digital copy of all the images taken during the event from Ever After. These photos can be an invaluable resource for future promotional material, social media content, and to capture memories of your successful gala. Typically, we provide the online album within 72 hours.

Fundraising

Finally, photo booths can even aid in your fundraising efforts. Extra prints, digital downloads, or sponsored photo booth frames can generate additional donations. This makes a photo booth not just an entertainment source, but a potential fundraising tool.

Conclusion

In conclusion, having a photo booth at your non-profit gala offers many advantages. It enhances the fun and entertainment aspect of the evening, provides networking opportunities, serves as a keepsake for attendees, boosts your cause's visibility, and can even contribute to your fundraising goals. Understanding how a photo booth works can help you make the most of this feature at your next event.
