For years, a photo booth has been a fun entertainment option for teenagers and families. But with the transition to everyone having a mobile phone in their pocket, you might think a photo booth seems old-fashioned. With new technologies and easy connections to the internet, photo booths now offer great interactive possibilities to entertain guests and drive traffic.

With technologies like Smile 2.0, consumers can print and share photos directly from the booth to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more in real time. Additionally, there are units in various sizes, so finding the right fit for your business is easy. 

A photo booth is a great purchase decision for event planners, route operators, and location owners from shopping malls to bars, restaurants, and amusement parks. Our friends at Apple Industries have provided a list of the top benefits of installing a photo booth at your business.
