Trade shows are hubs of innovation, networking, and competition. With countless booths vying for attention, capturing and maintaining audience engagement can be a stressful task. 

Traditional banners, static displays, and flyers often fail to create the lasting impact brands need to make an impression.

Understanding the 360 Booth

What Is a 360 Booth?

A 360 booth is an interactive photo and video experience that captures full-circle, high-quality footage of attendees. 

Unlike traditional photo booths, which take static images, the 360 booth uses a rotating camera system to create dynamic, slow-motion, or panoramic videos.

Key Features of a 360 Booth

  • 360-degree Video Capture – Creates immersive, shareable content.

  • Social Media Integration – Allows instant sharing to platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

  • Custom Branding – Logos, animations, and overlays can be added for a unique branded experience.

  • AI Enhancements – Some booths offer augmented reality (AR) filters, special effects, and interactive features.

Why a 360 Booth Stands Out from Traditional Booth Setups

Unlike static displays or simple selfie booths, a 360 booth engages visitors, offering a fun and memorable experience.

Attendees are more likely to interact with brands that provide immersive and shareable content, which, in turn, increases brand visibility and engagement at trade shows.

Transformative Benefits of a 360 Booth at Trade Shows

1. Enhanced Engagement

The interactive nature of a 360 booth draws visitors in, making your booth stand out among competitors. Instead of passively observing a display, attendees actively participate, leading to higher engagement rates.

2. Memorable Brand Experience

A 360 booth allows brands to create dynamic, shareable content that sticks in the minds of attendees. The immersive nature of these videos fosters emotional connections, making visitors more likely to remember and talk about your brand.

3. Increased Social Media Exposure

Trade show impact doesn’t end at the event! With built-in social media integration, attendees can instantly share their 360-degree videos with branded hashtags. This expands your brand’s reach beyond the trade show floor and generates organic social media buzz.

4. Improved Lead Generation

By including data capture tools, brands can:
✔ Collect visitor information through opt-ins before recording videos.
✔ Encourage post-event follow-ups by providing personalized content.
✔ Use QR codes for seamless lead tracking and customer re-engagement.

Hey there, I'm Niz and I am the proud owner of 360Boothy. Growing up, I had a passion for sports, which is why I studied at a sports academy. But as I got older, I discovered my love for the entertainment industry, which eventually led me to start my own business.

I do not only rent out photobooths, but I also manufacture them. I love creating experiences for people and seeing the joy it brings them and benefits corporates. This business is my full-time gig, and it's not just a job to me; it's a way of life. I go to sleep thinking about how I can make our photobooth experiences even better and wake up with fresh ideas to implement.

What drives me is the desire to make people happy. I strive for excellence in everything I do, and I believe that there are no small events, it is all experiences. Whether it's a birthday party, corporate event, brand activation, or wedding. I approach every event with the same level of enthusiasm and importance.

So far, I've been able to make over 440 events unforgettable for my clients. But I'm not done yet. I'm always looking for ways to improve and offer new and exciting experiences to my customers. And that's why I'm thrilled to announce that my team and I will be bringing the Oscar Grade GlamBot to our rental options and experiences. We plan on launching it in mid-June and can't wait to bring fun, joy, and excitement to every event we're a part of.
