Event Objective
To drive engagement with the Prospera Credit Union tent at the Vasaki Parade, attract potential customers to interact with Prospera staff, and direct traffic to their website or a special offer via a QR code on the photo booth prints.
Strategic Approach
Off the Reel partnered with Prospera Credit Union, a long-term client, to create a high-engagement activation at the Vaisakhi Parade, the largest such parade in the world outside of India, attracting nearly one million attendees.
The strategy involved setting up an open-air stationary photo booth within Prospera’s tent, leveraging the visually appealing backdrop of an Indian village created by Prospera. The photo booth was designed to offer a fun experience while integrating a QR code to meet Prospera’s objective of driving online traffic.
This year’s activation improved upon last year’s setup by removing the previous limitation of a single print per guest. Attendees could now capture and download multiple photos, resulting in longer interactions, greater engagement, and increased digital reach.
