About

The Haylo

Read full description

The Haylo is an Australian-owned and operated software company that’s here to revolutionise the photo booth industry. It’s entertainment for guests and an investment for business owners! We were in the photo booth space for around 5 years. We started back in November 2014. 500 odd events later, we sold the company unexpectedly to a previous client in March 2019. During those years, we established many relationships with venues and function rooms. What we discovered was most venue managers wanted to add a photo booth to their packages. However, there were usually 3 things in common that turned senior management off the idea. Traditional Photo Booth 1. Cost 2. Staff 3. Storage The Haylo 1. Wall mounted, no storage needed. 2. Automated, no staff required. 3. Monthly subscriptions, no commitments. It’s a photo booth with built-in marketing software. Some of our features ● Capture photos, GIFs, boomerang & videos ● Share content via SMS, Email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok & more ● Social Gallery ● Slide of photos (protector/TV) ● Get paid per printout ● Email link of all photos weekly ● Analytics/weekly report ● Background template designs ● Data capture ● Custom branding ● Survey creator ● Offers & promotions ● Custom SMS messages ● Plus heaps more! Sign up for your free account today and see how we make it cheap, fun, and easy to operate The Haylo.
