How To Use a Video Booth for Your Fundraiser

For any fundraiser done well, this is an all-time high for your community. It’s the time when your supporters are most engaged, most enthusiastic, and most connected to the cause.

Seems like a huge missed opportunity to not capture that feeling in a meaningful way.

Recently, I went to a fundraiser where there was a photo booth. I couldn’t help but thinking to myself: they probably paid a couple thousand dollars for this set up, and the content they get will only live on in the wallets of the attendees (if you’re lucky) and a single facebook post where you share some still images from the past. But what if this photo booth could be used for more than just a little take-home for attendees?

What if it could be used as a powerful storytelling tool?

Imagine…

Hearing stories from your biggest supporters on why this cause matters personally to them…

Collecting dozens of testimonials and encouragement for future donors, directly from their peers…

What your guests thought of the event, what they learned, or how they are inspired…

Sounds too good to be true? Not anymore. We designed a video booth that will walk your guests through a short interview to collect these priceless video clips. It’s never been easier. Oh, and did we mention it also has a photo booth feature? Make the most of your event and use these videos all year long.

Your fundraiser could be the opportunity to collect content that you can use all year.

Hiring a video crew to capture attendee interviews might cost thousands, not to mention, be intimidating. But a unique and interactive way to boost engagement at your fundraiser is by using a booth for both photo and video. And specifically, you need a video booth that has custom prompts so it can guide your guests through a short interview before bringing them to the photo booth feature. It adds a fun, creative element to your event while giving you a powerful tool for storytelling and donor recognition.

Here’s how you can effectively use a video booth to make the most of your annual fundraiser:

1. Create an Interactive Experience

A video booth adds an exciting interactive component to your fundraiser. It’s a chance for attendees to do more than just donate—they can actively participate by sharing why they support your cause, leaving heartfelt messages, or even issuing challenges to others to contribute. These videos become a real-time representation of the community behind your mission.

2. Capture Impactful Testimonials

What better way to inspire others to donate than by hearing directly from those who support your mission? A video booth allows you to capture heartfelt testimonials from donors, volunteers, and even beneficiaries of your work. These authentic, on-the-spot recordings can then be used in future marketing efforts, showcasing the personal stories that drive your organization forward.

Provide prompts for attendees, such as:

- “Why is this cause important to you?”

- “How has this organization impacted your life or community?”

- “What’s one message you’d like to share with future supporters?”

These clips can be edited into a highlight reel to share after the event, demonstrating the emotional and personal connection people have with your cause.

3. Showcase Your Sponsors

Video booths can also serve as a powerful sponsorship tool. Let sponsors share why they’re supporting your fundraiser, or create branded content that highlights their contributions. Sponsors will appreciate the opportunity for visibility, and it’s a win-win when you can showcase their commitment to your cause in an engaging way.

How? Offer sponsors dedicated booth time or branded elements, like a custom backdrop featuring their logo. You can also include sponsor messages within the video booth content, thanking them for their support.

4. Share the Magic After the Event

One of the biggest advantages of using a video booth at your fundraiser is that it creates shareable content that lives on long after the event is over. Not only can your guests get a copy of their photos and videos immediately, you can use the videos to recap the success of the fundraiser, thank attendees and donors, and continue engaging your audience by posting clips on social media or including them in email campaigns.

In addition, your post-event video edit will highlighting some of the best moments captured with the booth. You can even send a personalized thank-you video to major donors, making them feel appreciated and more likely to continue supporting your cause.

Conclusion

A video booth that can interview your guests isn’t just a fun addition to your fundraiser; it’s a powerful tool for creating deeper engagement, showcasing impact, and boosting donations.

Whether you’re capturing testimonials, encouraging friendly competition, or giving your sponsors extra exposure, a video booth can help you connect with your supporters in a meaningful way—while creating lasting memories of your event.
