Providing the Best Event Entertainment Trends in One Comprehensive Package

As the 2014 summer event season gets under way, event planners are finally seeing their months of brainstorming and organizing come to life. With the spring season filled with engagement and graduation parties slowing,  planners are focused on outdoor celebrations with summer-themed bashes. Now that invitations are sent, venues are booked, and the decorations are ready to be placed, have you considered how you can tap into trending technologies to make your event memorable for your community?

The hottest trend for this season’s events, be it weddings, outdoor celebrations or business meetings, is live social media interaction. Social photo booths, gamification and personalized guest experiences are the top favorites of event planners today. But as many of us already know and recognize, the trendiest add-ons often cost a bundle and have very short shelf lives. Enter Pixe. Pixe can provide a wide range of technology services that check all the boxes, without maxing out your budget or requiring hours of manual work from your team members.

• Live Social Media Interaction: Pixe automatically brands each photo taken with our tablet-based software with the brand’s logo and hashtags, and instantly shares these to pre-selected digital locations including the brand’s Facebook and Twitter pages. Opted in Pixe Photo Booth users receive branded email with a link to share their photo with their social friends. In addition, to keep the guests engaged, Pixe offers a large HD photo wall that streams a live slideshow of all photos taken at the venue.

•  Mobile Photo Booth: Gone are the constraints imposed by small venue spaces or limited budgets. Pixe supplies an excellent, branded photo booth experience, all in the hands of your fans and followers. By combining high resolution selfies with digital captions in a mobile solution, Pixe saves guests from squeezing into tiny spaces or attempting to fit a large group in one shot, friendly support person can easily mingle with your guests to capture every exciting moment at the event venue.

• Features Richness and Flexibility: Say goodbye to the cookie cutter event photos that traditional photo booths provide. Pixe offers a host of options that will distinguish your events from the rest. Choose from a large array of customized banner displays and stylish digital photo frames, display the sponsor’s logo alongside your own, and even provide a green screen background with themed backdrop options to give your guests an unforgettable event experience.

Impressive Online Engagement for CeX Pixe Photo Booth

While hosting the 2013 MCM London Comic Con Pixe Photo Booth, the Pixe team met representatives of CeX , the popular chain of stores for an expansive range of technology and entertainment products. Recognizing Pixe’s unique ability to reach out to event attendees by providing a fun, social experience, CeX contracted Pixe to provide a mobile-photo booth to its long-term customers and fans at the 2014 MCM London Comic Con.

CeX turned out to be an exciting and great brand to work with. The Cex team fully embraced the concept of real-time social selfies by placing an enormous Cex-branded octopus throne at their booth entrance, and giving away CeX cash vouchers as prizes in crowd-drawing contests.  Alongside Pixe’s social media promotion of the contest, CeX lit up the social media scene by live-tweeting photo booth pictures and reminding visitors of the contest over three days at the event. We were impressed by how responsive CeX was to their online fans. There were threads of conversations about booth location, popular photos, and contest announcements both on Twitter and Facebook.

This inspiring effort from CeX to provide a memorable experience to their customers was amply reflected in the impressive post-event ROI report generated by Pixe. In fact, the CeX ROI report blew us away! Not only did the individual Pixe photo booth photos bring thousands of online fans to the CeX Facebook Page, but CeX also boosted their online presence through constant and attentive interaction with fans.

• Captured 839 photos
• Reached 910,291 Facebook fans
• Generated 1,230,179 online impressions

Take a look at the remarkable results from the CeX @ MCM London Comic Con Photo Booth below.
