This can involve having various props around the venue and checking the entire site to consider if it is completely photogenic enough. If you don’t have a lot of time in your hands and still want an Instagram-worthy space for your audience, just host your event at a kitschy cafe with lots of natural lighting.
2). Get a photo booth
Photo booths are the talk of the town these days and having one at your event will definitely spike it up for you. Get them to use your hashtags by having attractive offers or prizes for them. This way it is a win-win situation for both the parties.
3). Get your live-wall going
Gather all the photos of your event and project it all over the place. It is preferable to use white walls for this as it will prevent the photo from getting discolored.
4). Print Station
If an instant Instagram printing service is available for hire then there can be nothing like it. On the other hand, you can also get a portable photo printer and print the photos off Instagram yourself. Surprisingly enough, sometimes an efficient way to get more online engagement with your hashtag with Instagram-worthy photo moments is to go old school and start printing photos.
5). Contests and Prizes
Host interesting and interactive contests and grab more attention from your audience. Use Instagram as your key tool and create photo puzzles or anything that comes to your mind. You can also announce winners of all the contests and keep your audience glued to your event.
