Top 30 Tips & Tricks to Leverage The Haylo
It’s not just a photo booth. It’s your marketing engine, content creator, upsell tool and booking magnet.
01.
Turn Rejections into Revenue
Previously emailed upsells that have been declined, on the day of their event, offer it free for 2 hours. Once the fun kicks off, most hosts ask to keep it and happily add it to the bar tab. Works almost every time.
02.
Pre-Event “Free Photo Booth” Hook
Offer The Haylo as a bonus inclusion for fence sitting enquiries. This instantly increases conversion rates and gets more bookings over the line.
03.
Drive Upsells During Walk Throughs
When giving potential clients a tour, show them The Haylo in action. Let them get a feel for it as their “secret weapon” for fun and priceless memories.
04.
Bundle It Into Birthday Packages
Include The Haylo as a “free” inclusion with minimum spends, increasing bookings and average spend without extra cost.
05.
Run Tag to Win Competitions.
It encourages guests to tag the venue for prizes. This increases reach, engagement and creates buzz for your next event.
06.
20 second Video Testimonials
Use The Haylo’s video feature to collect video testimonials to showcase on your socials. It's branded and you have awesome lighting to go with it!
07.
Capture Content for Every Booking Automatically
Never worry about taking content for your socials again. The Haylo becomes your always on photographer.
08.
Incentivise Social Follows
Prompt guests to follow your venue’s Instagram to unlock their digital photo via The Haylo’s SMS feature. It builds your audience quickly.
09.
Run a “Best Photo of the Month” Contest
Encourage guests to take creative pics and reward the winner with food vouchers — drives engagement, follows and repeat visits.
10.
Create Post Event Photo Albums on Socials
Upload weekend photo highlights every Monday. Guests relive the night, tag friends and your venue stays top of feed.
11.
Leverage Last Minute Enquiries
Position The Haylo as a free bonus for late booking hosts, it adds instant value and helps close the deal without discounting food & beverage.
12.
Weekend Function Game Changer
Instead of clients spending $800+ on external suppliers, offer the Winter Special: 3 hours for $199. Most hosts will naturally extend it, turning into a full night upsell.
13.
Remove the Budget Barrier
Many clients assume photo booths are too expensive. Surprise them with a low cost in-house option that still delivers a premium experience. No external suppliers needed.
14.
Save Time & Headaches
Event managers can skip the coordination stress! No bump-in/bump-out hassles and one less supplier to chase. The Haylo is ready in house and always on standby.
15.
The "Venue Hero" Hack
Tell hosts: “Photo booth suppliers usually charge $700+. We’re offering it in-house for $300.” You become the hero and the host saves big, while you increase average spend.
16.
FOMO Follow Up
After every event, send the host a custom photo montage with a thank you message and offer a $50 off voucher if they refer a friend’s event or rebook within 90 days.
17.
Silent Sales Tool
Use The Haylo’s screen during non function nights to promote its availability: “Want this at your next celebration? Ask our team how to get it FREE.”
18.
Staff Challenge Incentive
Run an internal challenge: the team member who upsells The Haylo the most gets a bonus or gift card. The competitive ones will love it.
19.
The $1,000 Event Booster
Position The Haylo as a $1,000 value that’s included “just for booking with us.” This makes your offer stand out vs. competitors instantly.
20.
Leverage The SMS Feature
Use The Haylo’s SMS feature to run competitions, incentivise them to follow your venue on socials and tease them with what’s coming.
21.
Live Content = Live Proof
Showcase real time uploads during events to wow potential clients touring the space. It becomes a walking testimonial.
22.
Event Hashtag Integration
Customise templates with the client’s event hashtag to drive UGC and increase their (and your) event visibility.
23.
Add a Message From the Host
Let the host write a thank you message or cheeky note that appears on every SMS send out.
24.
Offer “Golden Hour” Promotions
Between 4-6pm, promote a drink special or upsell using The Haylo’s screen and photostrip prompts.
25.
Use It As a Data Capture Engine
Collect guest names, emails, birthdays or preferences for future re-marketing and targeted promotions.
26.
Create FOMO From Past Events
Compile the best photos into highlight reels and display them during venue walk-throughs or on social media.
27.
Showcase Upcoming Events On Screen
Promote what’s happening next at your venue right from The Haylo’s screen or SMS, keep the calendar full.
28.
Partner With the Bar
Create a photo strip to include a 2-for-1 drink coupon or bar tab voucher — brilliant for driving bar spend.
29.
Use It to Improve Google Reviews
Automated SMS prompts post event asking guests to leave a review with a direct link. This increases your star rating easily.
30.
Promote Last Minute Packages With a Campaign
When bookings are low, use The Haylo’s content to drive urgency in “limited dates left” promotions.
