WHY SPONSOR A BOOTH?

Photo booths not only put the “fun” in fundraiser, but they also contain powerful branding, marketing, and social media capabilities. Sponsoring a booth can be a win, win, win partnership. See below for more information about Photolanthropy and Pack the Place in Pink, a list of benefits for sponsors and non-profit organizations, and examples of areas that can be branded with the booth.

This year, Pack the Place in Pink (PPP) and Photolanthropy are teaming up for the 2023 Lewistown Chokecherry Run. The goal is to bring awareness to the PPP cause, while also providing fun and fitness. PPP is a not-for-profit whose mission is to help local, Montana breast cancer patients by providing financial assistance.

BRANDING, MARKETING, AND SHARING

The charitable booth is highly customizable and brandable. This allows us to tailor each package to the customer (and/or sponsor). The content below outlines the different aspects of the charitable booth that can be customized/branded. We are proud to say nearly all of our generous sponsors from 2021 returned to sponsor again in 2022 and 2023. We strive to make this partnership worthwhile for both our sponsors and non-profits.

WELCOME SCREEN

Brandable welcome screen

The welcome screen is the first thing guests see when they approach the booth. This screen is 100% customizable and brandable. We can add logos and/or match the welcome screen to the photo templates, premium online gallery, and email template. We can also purchase animated attract screens for an extra fee; however, they tend to be less customizable.

BACK OF BOOTH

Brandable back of the charitable booth

The charitable booth has a 12” x 9” space on the back of the booth. If desired, we can brand this area with one or more vinyl logo stickers (as shown above). We can also place one or more floor stands near the booth with an 8.5″ x 11″ advert or sponsor logo. If desired, we can hang sponsor banners and/or display sponsor business cards in the booth area.

PHOTO TEMPLATES

Brandable photo template

We have hundreds of beautiful templates to choose from in our free library, plus thousands of premium templates for $25 each. All templates can be personalized/branded to meet your needs (including adding sponsor names, logos, slogans, monograms, or other graphics). We can also customize other aspects of the templates, including text, colors, and fonts.

PREMIUM ONLINE GALLERY

We can customize the premium online gallery header (i.e., add a logo, company name, text, or graphic). We can also include multiple sponsor logos in the footer area. If you turn off the online gallery, participants will still see sponsor branding in three areas: (a) in the emails they receive from the booth, (b) on the photo templates, and (c) on the photo sharing page.

BRANDABLE EMAILS

Brandable emails are great way to extend a sponsor’s brand reach during/after an event. We can customize the email header and footer area (i.e., add a logo, company name, text, or graphic with links back to your website). When guests share photos to email, we can either attach the image to the email or provide a link to a branded gallery.

SOCIAL SHARING

Guests can instantly share images via text, email, and social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). Every photo shared socially at the event can include a logo, @handle, and #hashtags. You can use the photo booth’s powerful social sharing capability to attach any social media handles or relevant hashtags to the uploads. A great way to grow social media presence!

CUSTOM PROPS

Brandable custom props

If desired, we can purchase custom digital/physical props to match the theme of your event (like above), including props with sponsor branding. These would need to be special ordered a few months’ in advance to ensure availability and timely delivery. We can also create custom laminated signs for free.

CUSTOM BACKDROP

Brandable custom backdrop

We can custom order a backdrop for your event, including a step-and-repeat backdrop with one or more sponsor logos. We can also add branding to a green screen background to make your brand and/or your sponsor’s brand pop! Green screen works best for indoor events.

SHARE DATA

We can also capture the share data at the event (i.e., phone numbers, email addresses). This info can be used for mailing lists, marketing, or other purposes after the event. It can also provide sponsors with an expansive reach to new audiences online.

CUSTOM SURVEY

If sponsors wish to capture targeted data from guests, we can add a custom survey as part of the photo booth experience. This data can be viewed and downloaded from the events analytics dashboard. Note: Adding a survey may slow down lines at the booth.

ADMIN DASHBOARD

The admin dashboard is a web-based dashboard that displays all event data in one location. It allows customers (and sponsors, if desired) to download event photos to zip files, access the online gallery, view real-time event analytics (e.g., photo shares, prints, downloads), monitor contest winners, view survey results, and download share data (phone numbers, emails).

BRANDABLE SLIDESHOW

We can customize/brand certain aspects of the slideshow, including adding a logo to the header area. We can also include full-page adverts that pop-up at set intervals during the slideshow. To attract more people to the booth, you can use our web link to run the slideshow on your own projector or big screen during the event.

CONTEST MODE

Create a more engaging experience with contest mode! Guests can interact with the booth (scratch or spin) to win prizes. This feature is super customizable. We can include sponsor branding on the initial contest screen, as well as the “You’re a Winner” screen. You can also include sponsor branding on the prizes—or tie the prizes to the sponsor (e.g., give away gift cards to the sponsor’s store). Contest winners can be monitored from the admin dashboard as needed.

OTHER FEATURES

In addition to the brandable areas above, the charity/non-profit may also offer other valuable incentives for sponsors (e.g., logo placement on signage, hyperlinks on your website, complimentary tickets to your event, announcing sponsor services at your event, and social media mentions). If desired, we can also include social media mentions on our Facebook page, place signs or banners on our tent (for outdoor events), display sponsor business cards, etc.
