Kelly Elizabeth is right where she needs to be.

She’s recently taken over industry stalwart YoProps and is set to bring her joy, passion and commitment to quality to the business. A conversation with Kelly is an absolute joy.

It’s like she’s bottled all the excitement of a booth experience and is giving you a taste of what attendees must feel when she works a party or event.

“I’m a month away from my 49th birthday and my life has taken a complete 180,” explains Kelly.

 

“After a career in customer service and hospitals, I took the leap into the unknown when I started working as an attendant for a photo booth business.”

That leap has set Kelly down a path that many of us dream of. She’s found an industry that she loves and a passion for curating props that help boothers bring events to life and surprise and delight clients.

“It all started in the warehouse. I found myself getting excited about putting together the perfect prop box. It wasn’t just about making things pretty, it was about understanding the theme, picking the right props to bring the theme to life and going out of my way to make that box exactly right for every client.”

 

“Like so many people who fall into this industry, I was caught up in the joy and excitement of the booths. Every event was something different, every client had a different aim and we were able to bring it all to life. I still get the same thrill, but now, I get to not just pull the props, I get to create them.”

YoProps has been one of the leading providers of photo booth props and signs since 2012. And Kelly is super excited to take on this new challenge.

“I love knowing that I’ve curated the perfect signs and props for people. To watch their eyes light up when they spot a prop that perfectly matches the mood makes me so happy. The little squabbles that break out over who gets the best prop make it all worthwhile.”

Now in the driving seat at YoProps, she’s keen to understand what current and future clients want.

“It isn’t just about trends. Every market is different and the props we make and will make need to be as individual as the customers we serve.”

We’re investing in new product lines as well as ensuring that the props we manufacture are the best quality. You’ll start to see tablecloths, drapes, backdrops and more coming to the site. All with a promise of exceptional quality and fabrication.”

“Just like in the early days, I’ve started curating boxes from different bundles. This will give clients something a little different to take to events and allow them to expand their bundles further with a little flair and creativity thrown into the mix.”

 

“We’re asking for feedback so we can get this right. I don’t want to dictate trends, I want to hear directly from boothers what works, what doesn’t and what they want more of. That’s how YoProps will go from strength to strength.”

“I want my reputation to be built on quality. No one wants to receive a product and think, that’s nothing like what I ordered. We want every one of our clients to have the peace of mind that their investment will not just deliver for one event, but for many seasons to come.”

The future looks pretty bright for YoProps.
