Experiential Event Photo Activation Marketing
Live event photo activation marketing is very effective and popular with global brands. Experiential event planning agencies use photos at events to help brands make better connections with their customers. It also falls under the category of brand engagement or brand activation, which its main goal is to make the event attendees interact and connect with the brand that is sponsoring it. Live events can help brands to make an impression on newer or younger audiences through the use of brand ambassadors and fun photo activation booths and stations. 4 EON helps brands that want to launch a product by creating experiential events that are fun and effective for both parties. The return on investment (ROI) is becoming much easier to measure for brands, now that post event analytics technologies have improved.
People use social networks daily. Photo activation that integrates with social media is becoming a standard at festivals and events because of it’s usefulness to companies and the event planning industry. We are living in the age of millennials, people want to brag and show their friends where they go and what are they doing, maybe it’s cultural narcissism that has been amplified by the use of social media, but organizers should use this reality to their advantage when marketing events.
Ray-Ban Event Photo Activation
Brands are finding creative ways to get people to take photos and share them socially. Companies can hire and use attractive brand ambassadors to talk with event attendees and encourage them to have their picture taken in an interactive photo booth, which they can be persuaded or offered company swag such as T-shirt, a keychain or a hat if they will share it socially. If the attendee wants a copy of the photo, you email it to them, and this gives the brand’s future potential marketing data and new subscribers.
Other creative photo station booth ideas include getting the attendees and their friends to take group photos with fun props or being able to write digital graffiti on the photo and offering them both a printed and digital copy of it so they can and will want to share it on their social networks. Some of the booths offer people the ability to take photos using a touchscreen display, which will instantly post the photos to Google+, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and via email.
