If you own a photo booth, then you should have a box of props available for your customers to choose from. During the holidays, the more common props such as Halloween masks and candy canes can be found near photo booths all around the world. But during the rest of the year, it is a good idea to have the photo booth props your customers really want to entice them to help you generate photo booth money.
Moustaches On Sticks
People love putting fake moustaches on themselves, and that is what makes those paper moustaches on sticks so popular with photo booths. You can make them yourself, or you can buy them inexpensively by the gross. Be sure to put your company information on the back of them as your customers will probably want to take those fake moustaches with them for the rest of the day.
Big Sunglasses
You will need to develop a way to make sure that your larger props are not stolen, but some of those larger props are essential to your photo booth’s success. Large sunglasses are always a big hit with photo booth customers, and you should have an array of colors available for your customers to choose from.
Large Foam Hats
Big hats are always fun, and large foam hats are a must-have for photo booth owners. In most cases, these are large cowboy hats that come in a lot of different colors. But if you look around, you will find a variety of foam hats to choose from that your customers will enjoy.
Wigs
Wigs can be a lot of fun for your customers, but they can also be tricky. If you do decide to give your customers the option of wigs, you should either sell the wigs or change them out frequently. Most people are not going to like the idea of wearing a wig that was worn by several other people already. You can also offer head covers to people who wear your wigs to keep things as clean as possible.
Feather Boas
Most of your customers have never seen a feather boa in person before, but that will not stop them from wanting to use it in their photo booth pictures. Feather boas can be made out of just about any material, and can be very cheap for you to buy. Be sure to buy a lot of different colors and styles to appeal to as many people as possible.
Investing in props for your photo booth is going to pay for itself over time. You should spend some time researching which types of photo booth props are most popular, and ask your customers which types of props they would consider buying to remember their photo booth session. Be sure that you have the very basic types of props your customers will want, and include your props in all of your photo booth marketing.
