WHY WE DON'T OFFER PRINTS AND THINK ITS A WIN...
What photo booth doesn’t offer prints I hear you say.. Actually, a lot, I reply.
With the advancements in booth technology and the ability to upload or share your photos from the booth themselves, photo booth companies are starting to phase out printing services and, honestly, it’s not something you should be worried about.
Let’s explain.
ITS EXPENSIVE!
Having prints are one of a photo booth companies biggest per event expenses. So, less expenses for the business = savings for the both of us. Makes sense right…
Photo booth printers are very particular pieces of equipment often runnings into the few thousands to purchase. Every event uses special photo booth paper and ink which can cost around $200 – $300 per roll. Then you need maintenance to make sure they don’t break down during your event (which they still sometimes do). Additionally, professional photo booth companies will have a printer stand or a cover as they don’t make the printers very visually attractive. Plus, most companies will invest in an expensive travel case so the sensitive components and sensors don’t get damaged in transit.
You can see how these costs can add up quickly and these costs needs to be factored into the hire price. Thats just business. More cost = Hirer fees.
THE MESS!
Believe it or not, a lot of people don’t end up taking their prints home. They end up on the table with a mixture of wine, gravy and chocolate all over them. Yummy!
Sometimes they will make it home and onto Nans fridge, but is that really what you wanted them for? Some events and venues are now banning photo booth companies from supplying prints as they end up all over the room and eventually the garbage.
ONLINE SHARING
With the rapid increase in photo booth technology its now easier than ever to share your photos direct from the booth. Upload them to all your social channels and share them will all your besties. With memories features you’ll get reminded of your event for years to come.
The world is in a social, convenient and minimal world, so why aren’t photo booths following?
We are.
SAVE THE TURTLES
Heres one for the greenies out there.
The Cre8ive Co. is committed to utilising practises which are non detrimental to the health of this plant or the life that lives on it.
We know that prints aren’t what they used to be. Today we want everything online, if it’s not online did the event even happen? We even see people collect their prints, take a photo of their prints and share that photo online. We are cutting out the middle man by making sharing instant from our booths and by doing this we are reducing the waste and, hopefully, doing our bit to save all the little Dories, Nemo’s and Crushes out there in the big ol’ blue!
GREATER AUDIENCE REACH
A picture says a thousand words, right? If you are using the booth to boost your social awareness than i’m sure you are already aware that online is where you need to be!
Prints are short term and disposable. Giving your guests access to share online is free and easy advertising for you, its long term and can be re-shared later. This cant be done with prints. #ItJustCant.
You’ll reach a must greater audience online than you ever will with a physical print. Even if you hijack the stage mic and force everyone to look at your print. You’ll still reach more online.
