Transforming Event Photography: How Rachel Sherman Elevated Her Business with NowCandid’s QuicPics

Transforming Event Photography: How Rachel Sherman Elevated Her Business with NowCandid’s QuicPics
Rachel Sherman, owner of TSS Photography of South Florida, discovered the game-changing benefits of NowCandid's QuicPics program through a networking opportunity that not only enhanced her business but also solidified new partnerships.

A Chance Meeting Leads to Opportunity

It all began at a Network Lead Exchange (NLX) meeting where Rachel met Mia, a member of NLX. A friendship quickly formed, catalyzed by shared professional values and a mutual dedication to community service. Rachel knew she could lean on NowCandid when she received a last-minute request to cover a “Galantine’s Day Lunch Celebration” through Mia’s referral.

Despite the tight schedule, Rachel rearranged her commitments to cover the event, leveraging the QuicPics program to deliver high-quality, timely photos.

Instant Gratification and Enhanced Visibility

The event was a win-win for all involved. Rachel provided timely and professional photography services, greatly enhancing the experience for attendees who were thrilled to receive instant access to their images. This instant delivery allowed them to share their photos on social media right away, amplifying the event's reach and engagement online.

Meanwhile, the host appreciated the immediate availability of high-quality images which could be leveraged for further marketing efforts.

This efficient service not only helped Rachel cement her reputation as a top-tier photographer but also showcased her ability to add significant value to events by boosting their visibility and attendee satisfaction.

Seizing the Moment with QuicPics

Seeing the QuicPics program in action, Mia was additionally impressed by the custom graphic banners Rachel created for each event, that include the event name and sponsor logos, which prompted her to secure Rachel’s services for the Weston Bar Association's networking luncheon.

Rachel attended the luncheon as a guest, providing a supportive presence while her team easily managed the Tap-A-Face workflow.

Exclusive Partnership Announcement

The collaboration was so successful that at the end of her speech, Mia announced TSS Photography as the Exclusive Photographer for the Weston Bar Association.

This partnership marked a significant milestone for Rachel, demonstrating the powerful impact of effective networking combined with the right technological tools like NowCandid's QuicPics.

A Model for Success

Rachel Sherman’s experience illustrates how integrating innovative tools like NowCandid’s QuicPics can transform a photography business from simply capturing moments to becoming an integral part of community engagement and business growth.

Her story is a testament to the potential that professional photographers can unleash when they combine skill with cutting-edge technology.

Hello, my merry photographer friends! 🎅

Candy here, and I’m excited to kick off a special holiday celebration with all of you!

For the next 11 days, we’ll be counting down the 12 Days of Christmas by revisiting one of our biggest, most impactful NowCandid features from 2024 each day. Then, on December 25th, we’ll unwrap a brand-new surprise—one of our biggest new features of the year!

Let’s begin Day 1 by shining a festive spotlight on the all-new NowCandid Web Dashboard, a cornerstone of our 2024 improvements that completely transformed how you manage your photography business online.

What Changed in 2024:

  • Participant Details & Gallery Management:

    With the new dashboard, you can dive straight into a participant’s details, view their assigned images, and even add more images to their gallery if needed. This level of control made delivering a personalized experience easier than ever.
  • Enhanced Order Details & Reports:

    Gone are the days of scattered information. The updated dashboard brought comprehensive order details front and center, along with in-depth reports. Now you can monitor sales, understand trends, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.
  • Streamlined Image Downloads:

    Need to access event images quickly? The new dashboard let you download images right from your event pages, saving time and ensuring you have what you need at your fingertips—no extra steps required.

From improved participant oversight to richer analytics and convenient image downloads, the new NowCandid Web Dashboard was a game-changer.

It set the tone for a year filled with upgrades that helped you run your business more efficiently, serve your clients better, and ultimately capture more smiles.🎉

Stay tuned for Day 2 tomorrow, where we’ll highlight another standout feature from 2024.🎄✨

Until then, keep embracing the holiday spirit and know that something truly special awaits you on December 25th!

Hello again, my wonderful photographers! 🎅

Candy here, bringing you another Weekly Recap. It’s a light week for changes, but we’ve got a couple of handy tweaks worth mentioning. Let’s dive in! 🌟

1. Bigger, Better Downloads for QuicPics & QuicPics GO 🏆

  • Improved Download Quality: Images downloaded directly from the retail site during QuicPics or QuicPics GO events—via “tap and hold” or the download icon—now come closer in size and quality to what clients receive through free downloads at checkout or via MMS.
  • Richer Image Experience: This enhancement means end customers get crisper, more detailed images, no matter how they choose to save them.

2. Clearer QuicPics Products in the Offer Creator 💡

  • Improved UI Guidance: The two QuicPics products are now always listed at the top of every custom offer in the Offer Creator.
  • Easier Understanding: Notes explain that these items only appear if you’re running a QuicPics or QuicPics GO event. This helps photographers realize they don’t need to manually add free downloads—QuicPics has them covered.

Looking Ahead: The 12 Days of Christmas Countdown 🎄

Starting tomorrow, we’ll begin a special 12 Days of Christmas countdown. Each day leading up to December 25th, we’ll revisit one of 2024’s biggest features. On the final day, we’ll unwrap a brand-new surprise—one of the year’s biggest new additions!

Stay tuned, enjoy the holiday season, and get ready for a festive lineup of features! 🎁

3. Improved Scan Card Generation Performance 📝

We've fine-tuned the Scan Card generation to make it smoother than ever!

  • Performance Boost:
    • Faster Generation: Recent updates had slowed down scan card creation, but we've optimized the process.
    • Reliability Restored: Generating Scan Card PDFs should now work properly and more efficiently.
  • Why It Matters:
    • Seamless Workflow: Especially important for high-volume events like holiday photo sessions.
    • Feedback Welcome: If you notice anything not performing as expected or have suggestions, please let us know!
  • A Festive Note:
    • We're committed to resolving any issues faster than Santa delivering presents to billions of children across the globe in just 24 hours! (All those cookies must give him quite the sugar rush.) 🍪🎅

We're always here to support you!

So please, feel free to share your feedback or questions.

Cheers and sparkles,

What’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.
