Corporate Event Photo Walls are Fun!
The photo wall, photo booth, step and repeat; no matter what you call it, having an area where your associates, clients and employees can have fun with their Dallas Corporate event photography is certainly a good idea. There are several reasons that photo walls are beneficial for your next event, and in this blog I’m going to go over some of the best ones.
Brand Promotion – Every company wants to promote their brand right? Of course! So, any time you can find a way to have your logo or event broadcast over a wide network, you should jump at it. Enter the photo wall. With branding strategically placed all along a wall, people won’t be able to miss it when they go back through the photos, post to social media networks, share with friends, etc.
Cool Factor – Nothing add to the flair of a party like a photo wall. People love an opportunity to let loose and have some fun, and this gives them that chance. Plus they always see celebrities walking the red carpet and looking glamorous; now it’s their turn! Having a photo wall as part of your Dallas corporate event photography setup will add a serious cool factor to your event. Also, depending on how fun you want to go, the addition of props can make for a great addition to any photo wall.
Whether its mustaches, colorful sunglasses or cowboy hats, people will generally flock to an opportunity to play dress up, no matter what the occasion. You can even adjust the type of props you provide to fit the party’s theme. The only problem I’ve ever noticed with providing props is that they will go very quickly, as your guests will tend to hold onto them as keepsakes. So if you want to use the same items over and over, it is best to have someone keeping an eye on them.
Value Add – People love photos, and therefore will love you if you give them photos. It’s a great memento that sticks with people. For instance, I shot portraits for a magazine at the Rangers World Series in 2010, and still tacked to the bulletin board in my office is a photo of me with my assistants at the photo wall they had. Whether its prints onsite that can have your logo on them or free downloads, this is a great way to show your generosity as a company.
I’ve noticed guests are impressed to hear that the company they are working for or doing business with is giving them free photos at a party they are attending. You can either give this photography away ‘just because’, or even tie it into your promotional program. This would be a further tie-in to your branding efforts. For example: “Like our page/event page on Facebook and receive a free print/download!” The possibilities really are limitless.
So, the addition of a photo wall for your next event or convention is something you should certainly put some thought into. It provides a memorable experience for those in attendance, and can also be a great addition to your branding and promotional strategies. With such a great need for content now, this is an excellent way to put plenty of positive imagery out on the web for you. Plus, once you see all of those happy faces at your event, you will know it was the perfect idea. You can even put them on your site or social media page to show how fun your company is. Enjoy, and don’t forget to strike a pose!
