Making Waves at 2024 Asia Amusement & Attractions Expo

The best prizes are small, inexpensive, but highly appealing to your target audience. Popular choices include:

• ​For Kids:​​ Small plush toys, bouncy balls, keychains of popular characters, stickers, temporary tattoos, and mini puzzles.

• ​General Appeal:​​ Individually wrapped candies or chocolates are always a hit.

  The prizes should be light enough for the claw to lift easily but not so small that they fall through the claw's grip. Regularly rotating prizes helps maintain interest and encourages customers to return to see what's new.

Starting a photo booth business today is centered on selecting the right ​all-in-one commercial photo booth machine​ and supporting business infrastructure. The core equipment list includes:

1. ​The Photo Booth Machine:​​ This is the primary investment. Modern commercial units are typically all-in-one systems that integrate a ​high-quality camera, professional lighting, a touchscreen interface, and software​ into a single, robust package. Your choice will be between enclosed booths, open-air kits, or specialized models like 360 booths.

2.  

3. ​Printing or Digital Sharing Solution:​​ Most machines have an integrated printer for instant souvenirs. Crucially, they also include ​cloud-based software​ for instant digital sharing via email, text, or social media, and for adding custom branding.

4.  

5. ​Accessories & Branding Materials:​​ This includes a branded backdrop, props to enhance the fun, and physical guides for queues.

6. ​Business Operations Essentials:​​ Beyond hardware, you need a ​business license, liability insurance, a professional website, and a marketing plan​ to attract clients.

7.  

The key is to partner with a reliable supplier who provides a complete, commercial-grade package designed for durability and ease of use in a business setting. Marwey is your best choice for that.
