The Major Components Of A Photo Booth
Before any business owner invests in a new piece of equipment, they usually like to know what makes that equipment tick. Understanding the basic components of any product creates a sense of confidence in the purchase and helps you to better understand how that equipment can benefit your business.
The Camera
Photo booth cameras can be a variety of different devices, including iPads with advanced camera features. The key is to have a quality camera mechanism that is easy to operate and easy to maintain. On those days when your photo booth doesn’t feel like cooperating, you want to know that you can open the camera door and diagnose the problem quickly.
Another popular option for a photo booth camera is a DSLR camera. The DSLR designation is recognized by many people as generating high quality images, and that makes them a good marketing tool. You can also get larger images with a DSLR camera, and that can enhance your photo booth’s appeal as well.
Photo Trigger
Photo triggers can be buttons with timers, foot switches, or live attendants. Obviously, the live attendant option is extremely expensive, but it can help to enhance your customers’ experience. Whether you use a button or a foot pedal depends on your customers. Buttons tend to require regular maintenance, where durable foot pedals can last longer under tough circumstances.
If your client base tends to be younger and more aggressive, then a foot pedal may be your best choice. If you are in a spot where you get a lot of tourists, then a button may serve your purpose.
Software
Face Place photo booths excel in many areas, but it is our software that separates us from the competition. We are constantly working on software updates and new ideas to give you more options for your customers.
With our software, your clients can pretend they are on the cover of a magazine or on a beach in the Caribbean. We also offer comprehensive editing software that allows your customers to make their pictures look any way they want. When it comes to getting the software you need for your photo booth, you can rest assured that Face Place is the leader in photo booth software.
Image Printer
Aside from the cost of your photo booth, your biggest expense will be the printing supplies necessary to deliver a printed image. Your customers can always share their images on social media, but they may also want a printed copy to take with them. Since Face Place photo booths print in color, you will want to make sure that you stock up on plenty of color ink and photo paper to keep the fun going all night long.
Customer Amenities
Face Place has photo booths with several different designs to enhance the customer experience. We have booths designed specifically for weddings and booths that look like nostalgic amusement park booths. We always recommend that our customers invest in some fun amenities for their photo booths to increase their customer interest.
When you break down a modern photo booth, the components are all items that you are already familiar with. Once you get past the intimidation factor with photo booth technology, you start to realize just how much a photo booth can help your business grow.
