Learn How NowCandid Can Help You Remarket Your Pre-NowCandid Images๐ŸŒŸ

Learn How NowCandid Can Help You Remarket Your Pre-NowCandid Images๐ŸŒŸ

For those who are new to NowCandid, let me tell you that NowCandid does a lot to help you continue to make sales on the images that you put through our system!

โ€

Things such as:

โ€

  • Long-Term Hosting: We keep galleries online for at least 15 years.
    โ€
  • Ongoing Marketing: Annual Event reminders & occasional consolidated Event marketing.
    โ€
  • Sales Reinforcement: "Order More" QR codes on print products to encourage reorders.

โ€

So, if you're using NowCandid for your current and future Events, those Events are all set to generate plenty of residual sales as the years go by!

โ€

However, did you know that NowCandid can be used to easily remarket images from your past, pre-NowCandid Events?

โ€

As a photographer, you have probably used other software and sales solutions in the past. That's okay! NowCandid is not a jealous business partner, and we are just happy you're here for us to help you now.

โ€

So let's talk about how we can help you get more sales out of those past Events of yours.

โ€

The Power of Remarketing ๐Ÿ”„

โ€

First off, let me say that this will only work in situations where you have:

โ€

  • Pictures of Individuals: Such as headshots or portraits.
    โ€
  • Corresponding Contact Information: You need to know which contact info goes with which image files.

โ€

If you have past Events with those two things readily available, then you can use our oft overlooked FaceMatch Import Workflow to create what we often call a FaceGroup in your NowCandid Dashboard.

โ€

You can then use that FaceGroup (pictures of individuals corresponding to an uploaded set of contact information) in any of your NowCandid Events!

โ€

Meaning... you could create a NowCandid Event, utilize a FaceGroup of some school picture headshots you did, and then upload to that Event that class's graduation pictures, school pictures, dance pictures, or anything else you'd like to remarket!

โ€

Once the "reference images" from your FaceGroup are in the Event as well as your past images of that same group of people - the images will match up using our Face Matching processes and begin a marketing campaign and sales effort that will help you generate some sales on those old images right now, as well as occasional residual sales over the years and years to come.

โ€

Your Portfolio, Forever Profitable ๐Ÿ’ผ

โ€

As an example, a new NowCandid user performed the exact processes we described above to "remarket" graduation pictures from 4 of the graduations they photographed last year.

โ€

Within a month of remarketing those 2023 images, this user generated about $1300 in sales and shipping!

โ€

That $1300 will be in addition to the sales they will be able to make as the years go by, thanks to the residual sales tactics we mentioned earlier.

โ€

Unlocking New Sales with Old Memories ๐Ÿ”‘

โ€

So, if you dear reader are in a position to utilize some of the portraits and contact info you've collected in the past, consider using NowCandid to remarket them! Doesn't matter if they're 1, 3, 5, or even 10+ years old.

โ€

NowCandid does not charge you any subscription or hosting fees, so even if you were to make $0 in sales, it won't cost you a thing.

โ€

We only make money when you do, and we only want to help you earn more and work less!

โ€

Hey there, amazing photographers!

โ€

Candy here, bringing you some exciting news in our "Big News" series. Weโ€™re thrilled to introduce a brand-new feature to NowCandid: the Full Frame Overlay!

โ€

This powerful tool allows you to create stunning graphics in various aspect ratios that can be applied directly over your photos, offering endless creative possibilities. Letโ€™s dive into the details! ๐ŸŒŸ

โ€

What is Full Frame Overlay? ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

โ€

Full Frame Overlay is a versatile feature that lets you design and apply full-frame graphics to your photos. Unlike our Banner Overlay, which places graphics at the bottom of your images, Full Frame Overlay covers the entire image, adding a creative flair that your clients will love.

โ€

This feature supports multiple aspect ratios, ensuring your graphics look perfect on all orderable print products.

โ€

Hereโ€™s what you need to know:

โ€

  • Required 4x6 Graphics: The 4x6 ratio graphic is always required, and youโ€™ll need to upload both vertical and horizontal versions.
    โ€
  • Optional Aspect Ratios: In addition to the 4x6, you can also create and upload graphics in 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14 aspect ratios. These are optional, so you can choose which sizes best fit your Event!
    โ€
  • Resolution & Format: Your graphics should be PNGs with transparency, around 300 DPI, and in the SRGB color profile. The resolution specifications can be viewed directly in the Full Frame Overlay interface when setting up your Event.

โ€

Check out the screenshot below for a glimpse of the new Full Frame Overlay interface:

โ€

How Does It Look? ๐Ÿ‘€

โ€

Full Frame Overlay lets you get creative! Whether youโ€™re adding a fun border, a festive holiday theme, or a sleek corporate design, the possibilities are endless. These overlays are perfect for making your photos stand out and giving your clients something truly unique.

โ€

Hereโ€™s an example of a photo with a Full Frame Overlay applied:

โ€

More Resources on the Way ๐Ÿ“š

โ€

We know that creating the perfect overlay can take time, so weโ€™re here to help! In addition to our existing Banner Overlay Canva Templates, in the future weโ€™ll be adding Full Frame Overlay Canva Templates to our Resources page. These templates will make it even easier to design beautiful graphics that fit perfectly with your photos.

โ€

We canโ€™t wait to see how you use the Full Frame Overlay to elevate your photography and create amazing products for your clients!

โ€

As always, if you have any questions or need assistance, donโ€™t hesitate to reach outโ€”weโ€™re here to help.

Hey there, fabulous photographers! Candy here, bringing you the latest and greatest update in our "Big News" series. Today, we're thrilled to unveil the completely revamped NowCandid Mobile Dashboard App 2.0.

โ€

This overhaul brings the app in line with the amazing new features we're adding to our web dashboard, ensuring you have a seamless and powerful tool right at your fingertips. Let's dive into what's new and why you should update to Mobile Dashboard 2.0 today! ๐ŸŒŸ

โ€

A Fresh and Improved UI ๐ŸŽจ

โ€

First things first, the Mobile Dashboard App 2.0 boasts a much-improved user interface. Weโ€™ve designed it to be more intuitive and user-friendly, making it easier than ever to navigate through your dashboard and access the features you need.

โ€

  • Review Custom Offers: Now you can easily review your custom offers directly from the app. This gives you the flexibility to monitor your custom event packages on the go.

โ€

Web Dashboard Integration ๐Ÿ”—

โ€

To keep up with the rapid advancements we're making, many editing functions in the app now link directly to the web dashboard. This ensures you always have the most up-to-date tools and options at your disposal without the app falling behind due to slower update cycles.

โ€

  • Seamless Updates: By directing to the web dashboard for specific edits, we ensure that you're always working with the latest features. This approach allows us to implement changes quickly and efficiently, without waiting for app store approvals.

โ€

Enhanced Candy Chat ๐Ÿ’ฌ

โ€

Weโ€™ve made improvements to Candy, your friendly AI assistant, as well as the UI for chatting with her directly from the dashboard app.

โ€

  • Improved Interaction: The new chat interface is more intuitive and easier to use, ensuring you get the help you need quickly and efficiently.

โ€

Folder-Level Sales Reports & Stats ๐Ÿ“Š

โ€

Stay on top of your game with folder-level sales reports and stats now visible in the dashboard app.

โ€

  • Mid-Event Performance Checks: Quickly check photographer performance mid-event with just your phone, ensuring everything is running smoothly and adjustments can be made in real-time.

โ€

Easy Access to LiveLoop Links ๐Ÿ”—

โ€

Weโ€™ve made accessing LiveLoop links for each event even easier. Now, you can quickly find and share these links directly from the app.

โ€

  • Engage Your Audience: Use LiveLoop to create engaging live slideshows that showcase your photos in real-time, boosting interaction and sales.

โ€

Improved Image Management ๐Ÿ“ธ

โ€

Managing images has never been easier. The updated UI for image management provides a more streamlined and efficient way to handle your event photo's visibility.

โ€

Update to Mobile Dashboard 2.0 Today! ๐Ÿš€

โ€

Itโ€™s crucial to update to Mobile Dashboard App 2.0 as soon as possible. Using the previous version could result in accidental errors, especially with new Custom Offer Events set up on the dashboard. These new events are not meant to be editable with the older app version.

โ€

Stay ahead of the curve and ensure your events run flawlessly by updating to the latest version of the app. We're excited about these changes and are confident they will enhance your NowCandid experience.

โ€

Thank you for being part of the NowCandid family and for your continued support. Your feedback drives these improvements, and we can't wait to see how Mobile Dashboard 2.0 helps you succeed!

๐ŸŒŸ Hey there, amazing photographers!

โ€

Candy here with some exciting news as part of our Big News series, where we'll dive into the latest and greatest features NowCandid has to offer.

โ€

Today, we're thrilled to introduce the Custom Offer Creator, a powerful new tool designed to give you more control and flexibility over your event photography business. ๐Ÿ“ธโœจ

โ€

Custom Offer Creator: Tailor-Made for You ๐ŸŽจ

โ€

Gone are the days of relying solely on premade price levels. With the Custom Offer Creator, you can now craft personalized offers that perfectly fit your business model and customer needs. Hereโ€™s what you can do:

โ€

  • Choose Your Products: Select which products you wish to sell, ensuring your offerings match your customers' preferences.
    โ€
  • Create and Name Packages: Design and name your own packages, providing tailored options for your clients.
    โ€
  • Product Sequence: Arrange the order of products as you see fit, giving you complete control over the presentation.
    โ€
  • Set Shipping Prices: Adjust shipping costs on a scalable basis to suit different regions or service levels.
    โ€
  • Set Retouching Costs: Scale retouching costs to reflect the level of service provided.
    โ€
  • Select Retail Site Themes: Choose the color theme for the retail site when your custom offer is being used.

โ€

Simplified Event Creation ๐Ÿ“…

โ€

Creating an event remains as straightforward as ever. However now, when setting up an event, you can now choose from your custom offers in a dropdown menu, in addition to the traditional premade price levels.

โ€

Note that Custom Offer Events need to be created via the Custom Offer Dashboard. While these features start out in "Open Beta", weโ€™re keeping them somewhat separate to ensure a smooth rollout and gather valuable feedback.

โ€

New Retail Site Experience ๐ŸŒ

โ€

Custom Offer Events will also benefit from a brand-new, streamlined retail site built specifically for NowCandid Custom Offers. While we won't dive into all the details of the new retail site here, rest assured that itโ€™s designed to provide a seamless shopping experience for your customers.

โ€

Open Beta: Your Feedback Matters ๐Ÿ“

โ€

As with all the new features we are introducing this summer, the Custom Offer Creator is currently in Open Beta. This means weโ€™ve tested it thoroughly internally, but there might still be some niche issues that crop up.

โ€

Weโ€™ll also be making rapid additions and changes based on the feedback we receive, so expect a variety of adjustments and sudden new features during this period.

โ€

Weโ€™re incredibly excited about the potential of the Custom Offer Creator and canโ€™t wait to see how you use it to enhance your photography business. Remember, your feedback is crucial in helping us refine these tools, so donโ€™t hesitate to share your thoughts.

โ€

Stay tuned for more updates in our Big News series! ๐ŸŒˆ

Whatโ€™s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
