Big News: Introducing QuicPics GO! ๐ŸŒŸ

Big News: Introducing QuicPics GO! ๐ŸŒŸ
Hey, fabulous photographers! ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€

Candy here with some sparkling news about a brand-new program that's just been added to the NowCandid familyโ€”introducing QuicPics GO! ๐Ÿš€

โ€

You all know and love our QuicPics program, where you get paid upfront by an event organizer and deliver free downloads to your photo subjects throughout the event, all while still offering them the option to purchase physical products. Itโ€™s a fan favorite for those looking to provide an engaging, modern experience!

โ€

So, whatโ€™s new with QuicPics GO? ๐Ÿค”

โ€

Well, the โ€œGOโ€ in QuicPics GO stands for Gallery Only! Thatโ€™s right, this new program is designed to streamline the process by delivering just the image gallery link to your subjectsโ€”no individual MMS image files sent directly to them.

โ€

The QuicPics GO Gallery provides multiple ways for your subjects to download their free images, as well as the opportunity to purchase optional photo products, making sure they still have plenty of options to enjoy and share their favorite moments! ๐ŸŽ

โ€

While this may be a less flashy approach, itโ€™s perfect for those who are looking for a more cost-conscious solution, while still utilizing NowCandid's convenient Workflows &ย technologies to deliver free downloads to guests. ๐Ÿ“ทโœจ

โ€

โ€

Why choose QuicPics GO?

โ€

Affordable Pricing:

โ€

QuicPics GO offers a budget-friendly option with a fee of only 6 cents per image at this time of launch โ€” thatโ€™s significantly lower than the 20 cents per image fee for standard QuicPics. Perfect for events where cost-conscious clients are looking for a great value!
โ€

Simple Experience:

โ€

While QuicPics provides that cool, interactive experience of receiving images via MMS throughout the event, QuicPics GO keeps it simple with just one link to the image gallery. Itโ€™s less flashy, but it gets the job done!

โ€

So whether you're working with a budget-conscious client or just looking for a way to offer a simpler service, QuicPics GO is here to provide that perfect middle ground. ๐ŸŽˆ

โ€

โ€

Important Note:

โ€

Just like with QuicPics, youโ€™ll need to have a credit card on file with your NowCandid account to use QuicPics GO. This ensures a smooth, hassle-free experience for everyone involved. ๐Ÿ’ณ

โ€

Streamlined Free Checkout for QuicPics GO! ๐Ÿš€

โ€

Weโ€™ve made grabbing your free QuicPics images easier than ever! While easy downloads are available directly from the site, weโ€™ve also simplified the checkout process for those who prefer it. ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€

Now, instead of filling out billing and shipping info for a $0 cart, all your subjects need is a cell phone number and email address to complete the free checkout.

โ€

Quick, convenient, and hassle-freeโ€”just the way it should be! ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฒ

โ€

Weโ€™re thrilled to bring you this new addition, and we canโ€™t wait to see how youโ€™ll make the most of it!

โ€

As always, if you have any questions or need a little help, just reach out. Weโ€™re here for you! ๐Ÿ’Œ

โ€

Cheers and sparkles,

โ€

Swift Event Swaps! ๐Ÿ”„

โ€

Got multiple NowCandid Events? We've got you! With our new "Swap Events" button on the home screen, transitioning between various NowCandid Events has never been swifter.

โ€

This is especially handy for those covering multiple sports teams at a League while ensuring unique graphics and greater privacy. Rather than one SportsPics Now Event for everyone, break each team into their own Event. Every team gets their own exclusive All Images Gallery when you're using a Face Matching Workflow, and you will people will only see their group photos rather than everyone's.

โ€

A Closer Look: Zoom & Pan ๐Ÿ”

โ€

We've all been there โ€“ wanting to get up close and personal with a pic to check out every detail. Now you can! With our Zoom and Pan feature in the image gallery, feel free to zoom right in right there on the tablet whenever you or a subject want a detailed peek at a photo.

โ€

Crystal Clear Checkbox โœ…

โ€

We're all about clarity! So, we've revamped that SD checkbox text you see when you're logging in. It now reads as "Upload all images on SD card."

โ€

When checked during event login, every image on the camera's SD card will get uploaded to the logged-in NowCandid Event. Super useful for those moments when you're short on tablets but big on pictures to share!

โ€

And A Little Extra... ๐Ÿ”ง

โ€

Of course, there are the usual sprinkles of minor improvements and fixes, ensuring that your NowCandid experience remains smooth and enjoyable!

โ€

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.
