The fastest way to increase your photo booth revenue is not more bookings — it is more revenue per booking. A client who pays $900 for your standard package can easily become a $1,200–$1,400 client with the right add-on menu. That 33–55% revenue increase requires zero additional marketing, zero new client acquisition, and often only minutes of extra setup time.

Here are the 15 best photo booth add-ons that convert consistently, with pricing guidance and tips on how to present them.

Why Add-Ons Work So Well in This Business

Photo booth add-ons convert at high rates because:

• Clients are already emotionally invested in their event — they want it to be memorable
• Most add-ons are tangible, easy-to-understand enhancements (not abstract upgrades)
• The price of the add-on feels small relative to the overall event budget
• Many add-ons (keepsakes, guestbooks) create lasting memories that clients associate with your brand

The 15 Best Photo Booth Add-Ons

1. Custom Print Template Design

A personalized print overlay featuring the event name, date, and custom design elements. This is the single highest-converting add-on in the industry — nearly every wedding client wants their names and date on the prints.

What it takes: 30–60 minutes of design time in Canva or your booth software’s template editor
Price: $75–$150
Margin: Near 100% after the first few templates you create

2. Scrapbook / Guestbook Station

A second print prints automatically for each session and is placed in a premium album by a booth attendant or self-serve guests who write messages alongside the photo. The couple receives a personalized photo guestbook at the end of the night.

What it takes: Extra print copy (cost: $0.25/print), premium album ($15–$30), table setup
Price: $125–$250
Conversion rate: 60–70% with wedding clients

3. Additional Hour of Operation

The simplest add-on — extend the event by one hour. Clients frequently realize mid-event that they want more time, and offering this proactively at booking captures the revenue upfront.

What it takes: One additional hour of your time (or attendant’s time)
Price: $150–$250 per additional hour

4. Social Sharing Station

A dedicated sharing station (tablet or kiosk) where guests can enter their email or phone number to receive their digital photo instantly. Clients love offering their guests this experience, and corporate clients value the data capture capability.

What it takes: Tablet or second iPad, software support (most major platforms include this)
Price: $100–$200

5. Photo Strip Magnets

A set of 2×6 photo strip magnets printed from event photos and packaged as a party favor. Guests take them home and display them on their refrigerator — your brand stays in front of them every day.

What it takes: Magnet paper (available from photo supply companies), compatible with most dye-sub printers
Price: $75–$150 for a set of 25–50 magnets
Margin: 70–80%

6. Keepsake Keychains

Photo keychains are a popular party favor for weddings, quinceañeras, and school events. Printed photo strips or single images are sealed into clear acrylic or metal keychain frames.

What it takes: Keychain frames (bulk purchase, $0.50–$2.00 each), laminator or print-and-seal process
Price: $75–$150 for a set of 25–50
Margin: 70–80%

7. Keepsake Buttons / Pins

Button-making machines produce photo buttons that guests wear during the event and take home as favors. A fun, low-cost add-on popular at birthday parties and school events.

What it takes: Button maker machine ($100–$300 one-time cost), button supplies ($0.30–$0.50 each)
Price: $75–$125 per set of 25–50

8. Premium Props Package

An upgraded props collection beyond your standard box — themed props (Hollywood glamour, tropical, holiday specific), high-quality hats, signs, and accessories.

What it takes: Build themed props kits — invest $50–$100 per kit
Price: $50–$100 upgrade fee per event

9. Idle Time / Cocktail Hour Coverage

Many wedding clients want the booth available during cocktail hour before the reception officially starts. Charge for idle time when the booth is set up but not actively running.

Price: $75–$125 per idle hour

10. Roamer / Handheld Booth

An attendant roams the event with a portable iPad or camera setup, capturing candid moments of guests who may not approach the main booth. Great for cocktail hours and large events.

What it takes: Portable iPad or camera setup, second attendant
Price: $200–$400

11. Digital Gallery with Extended Delivery

A premium online gallery with extended hosting (12 months instead of 30 days), download tracking, and individual photo sharing links. Clients who want to share photos with every guest appreciate this upgrade.

Price: $75–$150

12. Green Screen / Virtual Background

A green screen setup allows you to composite guests into any digital background — the Eiffel Tower, a beach, a branded backdrop, or a custom design. Corporate clients especially love the branding flexibility.

What it takes: Green screen backdrop ($30–$80), software support (Darkroom, Lumabooth)
Price: $100–$200

13. Rush Template Turnaround

Standard template delivery is 3–5 business days before the event. Offer a rush option (48 hours or same day) for clients who book late or have last-minute changes.

Price: $75–$150 rush fee

14. 360 Video Booth Upgrade

If you own both a traditional and 360 booth, offer a bundle upgrade. This is one of the highest-value add-ons available — clients who book the traditional booth and see the 360 option often upgrade.

Price: $500–$1,200 to add the 360 experience

15. Personalized Props

Custom-printed props featuring the event theme, couple’s names, or company branding. Ordered through a print-on-demand supplier and delivered before the event.

What it takes: Print-on-demand sourcing (Printful, local print shops), 1–2 week lead time
Price: $75–$200 depending on quantity and complexity

How to Present Add-Ons to Maximize Conversion

• Include them in your proposal: List add-ons with prices alongside each package. Clients who see options at the proposal stage convert at higher rates than those who are pitched add-ons later.
• Bundle strategically: Create “most popular” bundles — e.g., “Signature Package + Guestbook + Custom Template = $1,199 (save $75).” Bundles increase average order value while simplifying the decision.
• Mention add-ons during the booking call: Ask “Are you thinking about having a guestbook?” rather than “Do you want to add anything?” The first question invites a conversation; the second invites a yes/no.
• Upsell at the event: Train your attendants to mention the guestbook station if the client did not book it. “We could set up a quick guestbook station — a lot of couples love it.” On-site upsells close regularly.

Building Your Add-On Revenue Target

If every booking includes at least one add-on averaging $150, and you do 8 events per month:

• Additional monthly revenue: $1,200
• Additional annual revenue: $14,400

That is $14,400 in incremental annual revenue with zero additional marketing spend. Add-ons are the highest-ROI revenue strategy in the photo booth business.
