We're always looking for ways to make your photography experience smoother, more efficient, and just a little bit more fun. And with that in mind, we've unveiled an awesome new feature: Group-by-Face! 🎉

‍

(Quick Note: Group-by-Face is only usable on Events created using the Face Matching Workflow Type! Not Events created using the Positive ID Workflow Type)

‍

A Quick Overview:

‍

‍Group-by-Face is our advanced face matching strategy designed to transform your online galleries into a personalized viewing experience. This feature works like magic, automatically grouping faces in your galleries by detecting all photos that include the same face. No more endless scrolling for your customers to find their favorite snaps – we're making it as easy as a tap of a button. 🖼️💖

‍

How It Works:

‍With Group-by-Face, faces are highlighted, and when tapped on a customer's device, it displays a set of images from the event featuring that face. Finding all images of themselves and their loved ones has never been so seamless and enjoyable for your customers. Talk about a picture-perfect experience! 📸✨

‍

‍

Hello there! 🎉

‍

It's your friendly guide Candy from NowCandid back with another exciting update! We heard your feedback and we're acting on it. Drum roll, please... 🥁

‍

Bigger, Better, Longer Events 📅

‍

Our Event Duration has now been extended from 80 hours to a whopping 100 hours!

‍

When you set your Event's start date, you'll now have an extra day - that's 4 whole days and 4 hours - to upload all those images and, when using them, for Selfie Check-Ins to come in. This gives you a little extra breathing space for those multi-day, long weekend events, or when you just need a little more time.

‍

The Finer Details 🧐

‍

But remember, the clock stops ticking when the Event ends! Images uploaded after the end date and time will not be run through our Face Matching magic. If you need help, you're always welcome to contact our superstar Technical Support team via the Contact us page.

‍

Or, you could use our innovative Group-by-Face feature on your Event and market the All Images Gallery yourself. Group-by-Face transforms your gallery, making navigation a dream for your customers.

‍

Early Bird Gets the Worm 🐦

‍

Just because you have more time, doesn't mean you should take it! Posting your images right away is a winning strategy. Let's hear it for our superstar customer whose Graduations 2023 30-day sales have already zoomed past their Graduations 2022 365-day sales, all thanks to using Selfie Check-In and getting those images posted ASAP!

‍

Those impulse purchases right after an event are powerful. Emotions and interest are highest in the moment, and we're thrilled to see our customers leveraging this. The takeaway? Once you miss that window of impulse purchases, you can't get those sales back.

‍

Let's Make the Most of It! ⏳

‍

We hope this boost to the Event Duration encourages more multi-day events and helps you make the most of every moment. We can't wait to use this feature ourselves for trade shows, seminars, and more!

‍

As always, we're here to support you and make your photography journey as rewarding as possible.

‍

Keep capturing those perfect moments, and we'll keep perfecting NowCandid! 📸🎈

‍

Until next time,

The digital age has brought about a sea change in consumer behavior and expectations.

‍

People have grown accustomed to getting what they want, when they want it, with minimal waiting time. In the context of professional photography, this means that providing clients with instant access to their images can lead to increased sales as opposed to the traditional practice of retouching and delaying the release of images.

‍

1. Instant Gratification and the Modern Consumer

‍

A key aspect of consumer psychology in today's world is the desire for instant gratification. Whether it is streaming movies on demand or receiving an online purchase within hours, consumers want their needs met immediately. This same expectation applies to photography. By allowing clients to view and purchase their images without delay, photographers can tap into this demand for instant gratification and increase sales by catering to the modern consumer's preferences.

‍

2. Harnessing the Power of Impulse Buying

‍

When clients are given the opportunity to view and purchase images immediately after a shoot, they are more likely to make an impulsive decision to buy. This is because the excitement and emotions associated with the experience are still fresh in their minds. Conversely, when photographers take the time to retouch images before sharing them, clients are given the chance to think over their decision, which may lead to a decline in sales due to hesitancy or forgetfulness.

‍

3. Embracing Authenticity in Photography

‍

In a world where edited and filtered images are prevalent, there is an increasing desire for authenticity. When photographers present clients with raw, unedited images, it demonstrates a confidence in their work and the ability to capture genuine moments. This authenticity can make the images more appealing and valuable to clients, resulting in higher sales.

‍

4. Time Savings and Efficiency

‍

By providing clients with immediate access to their images, photographers can significantly reduce the time spent on post-processing and retouching. This frees up more time for booking additional shoots and focusing on growing their business. Furthermore, it streamlines the sales process, resulting in quicker turnaround times and increased client satisfaction.

‍

5. Technological Advancements

‍

Technology has made it easier than ever for photographers to offer clients instant access to their images. Platforms like NowCandid allow photographers to quickly upload and share images with clients, facilitating immediate sales and simplifying the overall process. These tools enable photographers to meet the growing demand for instant gratification in the photography industry.

‍

6. Strengthening Client Relationships and Generating Referrals

‍

Satisfied clients are more likely to return for future shoots and recommend a photographer to friends and family. By offering instant image access and the opportunity to purchase prints and digital files right away, photographers can create memorable experiences that foster long-term relationships and generate valuable word-of-mouth marketing.

‍

Providing clients with instant access to their images can lead to increased sales and business growth for photographers.

‍

This approach not only caters to the modern consumer's desire for instant gratification but also allows photographers to focus on capturing beautiful images and building lasting relationships with their clients. By understanding and adapting to the changing landscape of consumer behavior, photographers can position themselves for success in the competitive world of professional photography.
