In a recent blog post, we hightlighted the 'open air' photo booth and listed all of its great features and what makes it awesome. We wanted to also show a bit of love to the 'digital' photo booth.
In today's fast paced social environment, we have become accustomed to viewing and sharing photos online as quickly as we take them. It's a great way to document experiences and share these moments within our social networks. I mean, who doesn't love a great selfie right? The digital booth takes our obsession with the selfie and adds its own cool twist. It is inteded to be an outlet for digital photos only. Although prints can be made from this booth as well (We will discuss that a bit later). The photos are shared instantly via text, email, Facebook and Twitter. In addition, the booth can be battery opereated which means it does not require electricity to be operational. Because of it's small foot print and flexibility, it can be used for literally any event or social occasion.
Now that we know a little bit more about what the digital selfie booth is, let's talk about what it does.
Instant Sharing
As mentioned, the digital selfie booth is intended for sharing photos digitally. They are more about capturing a great photo that can be saved to devices and be instantly shared with family, friends, or social media. With this ability to instant share photos, it poses organizations a great opportunity for lead/data capturing. The digital booth is a marketing tool. When guests send themselves photos, they also have the option to agree to receive emails from you. This provides the opportunity to grow your marketing list and share further information aobut your cause or organization. In addition, the messaging they receive can be customized to match your brand, event and campaign. Photos can also be directly uploaded to a braded microsite for further lead capturing.
Branding
The digital selfie booth can be launched into a full fledged branded photo booth marketing campaign that can help you spread the word, not only about your brand and online presence, but also your latest products and services. The digital selfie photo booth user interface can include your logo, promotional messaging, video commericials, website links or social media share buttons. The booth itself can also be vinyl wrapped with your event or company name, logo, and design.
Animated Overlays
Animated GIFS are perfect for digital selfie booths. Overlays add a bit of fun and awesomeness to a static photo or GIF by placing an animated layer on top of each photo or GIF. They add a unique touch that demands attention. The overlay allows you to add branding or a frame that incorporates your brand or designs. They bring GIFS and photos to life.

Your guest photos will get instant superstar enhancements just like they do in the magazines.
Boomerang GIFS
Photo booths aren't just for still photos anymore. And unlike standard GIFS, boomerang GIFs are created by taking a quick burst of photos to create an animation that moves forward and backward, creating a fun digital media for social sharing. Similar to a short looping movie. Guest can then share their boomerang GIFS with the world through social media which helps expand your event and branding reach.
Digital Props
Yes, signs props, stick props, and silly glasses are awesome. But digital virtual props are just so darn cool. Teh Guest are given the option of choosing digital items such as hats. The items can also be customized to fit your particular theme and event. Say for instance, you're having 4th of July celebration and want digital props to match the occasion, we have you covered.
Permanent Installs
A great way to futher engage your guest, cusomers, or staff, the permanent photo booth is a fun and exciting way to take photos in a branded experience on a permanent basis.
