Weekly Recap: Faster Check-Ins, Text Upgrades & More! ✨

Hello, my fabulous photographers!

‍

Candy here, ready to sprinkle some sparkle on your day with our latest Weekly Recap.

‍

We’ve been busy refining your NowCandid™ experience, and this week’s update is a solid mix of practical tweaks and new features—all designed to make your events run even smoother. Let’s dive in!

‍

1. Check-In Info Saves to Account 📝

‍

We know every second counts during an event. Now, when subjects perform a Selfie Check-In™ while logged into quic.pics, their check-in info is automatically saved to their account for future events.

‍

Streamlined Check-In:

• • Reuse saved check-in details for faster access at subsequent events.
  ‍
• • Speeds up the process and reduces repetitive data entry.
  ‍
• • Works for both Selfie Check-In™ as well as Positive ID™ Check-In.

‍

‍

2. FreePics™ Text Character Increase 📲

‍

Our marketing messages just got a boost! You now have more characters available when customizing the “Your images are arriving soon” text for FreePics™ events.

‍

More Room to Create:

• • Tailor your messaging with extra characters for a more personalized touch.
  ‍
• • Future tweaks may come, but for now, enjoy the expanded flexibility!

‍

‍

3. FreePortraits™ Pricing Now at 10¢ per Image 💰

‍

Good news for portrait photographers who get paid upfront! We’ve adjusted the FreePortraits™ pricing down to 10¢ per image from 12¢. This change is designed to help you offer headshots and individual portraits at a lower rate.

‍

Cost-Saving for Portraits:

• • FreePortraits™ is aimed specifically at headshots and portraits where only one person receives the images.
  ‍
• • Expect further tweaks to FreePortraits in the future, but the cost-saving is here to stay!

‍

‍

4. GroupTags™ Enhancements 🏷️

‍

We’ve made it easier than ever to manage group photos and individual shots with GroupTags™.

‍

Import GroupTags:

• • Upload a spreadsheet to auto-create as many GroupTags™ as you need—perfect for events with many teams or groups.

‍

GroupTagging Individuals:

• • Now you can assign GroupTags™ even to Individual Photos, not just Group Photos.
  ‍
• • This change gives you more flexibility when organizing the Groups of images your customers can filter by on the retail site. Possibly helpful for some action photographers!

‍

‍

5. Miscellaneous Updates 🔧

‍

A few extra tweaks to enhance overall performance and clarity:

‍

Shortened Marketing Links:

• • All links in marketing texts are now shortened without compromising URL security.

‍

Informative Color Profile Errors:

• • When an image is uploaded with the wrong color profile, the error now specifies which color profile the image has, instead of just saying “wrong color profile.”

‍

That’s this week’s recap, folks!

‍

These updates are all about making your workflow more efficient—from saving check-in info and giving you more flexible text options to reducing costs on FreePortraits™ and enhancing GroupTags™.

‍

We’re continuously improving our system to help you manage your events seamlessly and boost your sales.

‍

As always, we love hearing your feedback—let us know what you think!

‍

Cheers and sparkles,
