We'll just start right off by saying: yes! we truly believe in the power of rockstar photo booth attendants. The truth is that when it comes down to it, photo booths are just a bunch of little machines that all need to work simultaneously together. And very rarely things CAN go awry because well you know – technology!
That being said, it should be standard that any photo booth company you rent from should include a photo booth attendant from set up all throughout clean up.
There are also some great perks that come with having a booth attendant!
For example, when we attend an event with our koibooth, part of our goal is to keep guests engaged the whole time. This is important to us and should be important to any photo booth company. As a client, you have paid for a service and you deserve to get the most for your money.
You may wonder, “how do you keep guests engaged in the booth the entire time?” OR you may even be thinking “that doesn’t matter, my guests will surely be interested in the photo booth the whole time!” Let’s talk about both possibilities real quickly.
Possibility 1: “how do you keep guests engaged in the booth the entire time?”
A couple of ways. At koibooth, we know that we love to meet new people! So we are always sure to introduce ourselves to the people/person that is running the show. Someone like a d.j. or an emcee. D.J.’s and emcees always have microphones and can make frequent announcements reminding everyone to go check out the booth. It works like a charm! And let’s face it – those are great people to meet! They’re also there to make your event awesome. So if we all become buddies, we become a group of support to make sure that your event is simply, perfect.
Another thing we know that we love (and that you will love too) are the memories! We are ALL about that. So we love to go around the party (especially to the people that haven’t tried the booth yet) and encourage everyone to hop in for a session. We remind them that our client can’t wait to see the images and it will make them so happy to see that all of their guests had a chance to enjoy their photo booths. These will be memories for them to cherish long after their event is over.
Now, let’s hop to possibility number two because our last little secret to being awesome boot attendants, ties in with that.
Possiblity 2: “That doesn’t matter! My guests will surely be interested in the booth the entire time!”
We hate to think about it too but it DOES happen. There are dull moments when guests just aren’t hopping in. But that’s where your awesome photo booth attendant saves the day, again!
There’s a great little trick we have over here at koibooth. During dull moments, we will go ahead and hop in ourselves! We grab some props and just have a good time. As soon as that flash starts going off and guests are reminded (again) of how fun the booth is, they just can’t help but start lining up again. Magic!
Still not convinced that a photo booth attendant is necessary?
Imagine this scenario for a minute:
You’re at an event. There’s a great photo booth but there’s no attendant.
Throughout the night, the props are being thrown about, the prints are stacking up in the printer, the wifi lost connection and now no one can instantly share their pics and gifs, and then at the end of night comes and the photo booth area is a total mess with no one to clean and pack up.
Pure chaos. Right?
With an attendant at your event, all of that is avoided. Plus, once the booking time is up, they are packed up and out of the way for the venue to be properly cleaned up.
So yes. The photo booth attendants are there for any technology issues. But there are so many other reasons to be excited about having an attendant. If you’re looking into booking with a company and they don’t include an attendant or if they charge you extra for one, consider looking somewhere else. A professional company wants to look good and represent their services professionally. A booth attendant really helps with that.
Convinced yet?
Bottom line is that if your booth booking comes with an awesome photo booth attendant, you and your guests are going to have an awesome and engaging experience!
Happy Partying!
