Exciting New Option: Dynamic Personal Galleries! 📸📣
Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

Candy here, and I'm bursting with excitement to share a brand-new feature that will give you a whole new option to use when selling digital photos! 🌟

Drumroll, please... 🥁

Introducing Dynamic Personal Galleries! 🎉

What Are Dynamic Personal Galleries?

Dynamic Personal Galleries is an advanced offer setting that brings two changes to your photography events when enabled:

This new option will be found when editing an Offer's "Advanced Settings"

  1. Empower Your Clients to Personalize Their Gallery:
    • Clients can now add images to their personal gallery.
    • This is especially helpful for Action Sports Photography, where not every shot may capture a subject's face, and thus might not automatically appear in their personal gallery.

  2. Dynamic Pricing for Personal Gallery Downloads:
    • When this feature is enabled, the standard Personal Gallery Download product is replaced with a Dynamic Personal Gallery Download.
    • How It Works:
      • Minimum Price: You set a minimum price.
      • Unit Price: You set a price per image.
      • Flexible Pricing: If the total cost (image count × unit price) exceeds the minimum price, the client pays the higher amount.
      • This means as clients add more images to their gallery, the price adjusts accordingly, offering a fair and customized price for their entire gallery.

After clicking "Edit" under "Use Dynamic Personal Galleries"

When Would I Use this Feature?

Perfect for Action Photography

Imagine you're covering a youth sports tournament. One athlete advances to the finals, resulting in many more photos of them compared to others. With Dynamic Personal Galleries:

  • Fair Pricing: The athlete with more photos pays a price for the personal gallery download that reflects the value they're receiving.
  • Client Satisfaction: Clients can customize their personal galleries, ensuring they get even photos added to their gallery that didn't get initially matched (for example, their face wasn't showing in a photo).
  • Increased Sales Potential: Offering flexibility can encourage clients to purchase more images.

Great for Events with Varied Image Counts

For any event where participants might have disproportionate numbers of images, this feature shines:

  • Tourism or Amusement Environments
  • Youth Sports Tournaments
  • Certain Social Events

Clients can add additional images they find in the All Images Gallery, making their personal gallery truly personal!

How It Works on the Retail Site

  1. Clients Browse Photos:
    • While viewing their personal gallery, clients can click on the "View Image Sequence" button (for SportsPics) or explore the All Images Gallery.
  2. Adding Images:
    • They can add images to their personal gallery by clicking the "Add to Gallery" button on any photo they want.
  3. Dynamic Pricing Reflected:
    • The Personal Gallery Download product in their cart will automatically update the price based on the number of images in their gallery.
  4. Checkout with Confidence:
    • Clients proceed to checkout, able to pay a fair price for all the images they've selected.

Setting It Up in Your Dashboard

Enabling Dynamic Personal Galleries is a breeze:

  1. Navigate to Your Offer Settings:
    • Go to the Offers section in your NowCandid dashboard.
  2. Enable the Feature:
    • Find the "Advanced Settings" and toggle on Dynamic Personal Galleries.

  3. Set Your Pricing:
    • Enter your Minimum Price and Unit Price per image.
  4. Save and Apply:
    • Save your settings, and you're all set!

If you have any questions or need assistance setting it up...

Don't hesitate to reach out! We're here to help you make the most of this exciting new feature.

Cheers and sparkles,

Candy 🍬

Hello again,  globally-minded photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 5 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

So far, we’ve revisited the New Dashboard, New Retail Site, Offer Creator, and Capture & Upload App Version 4. Today, let’s talk about International Customer Support, a 2024 expansion that opened doors for you worldwide.

When we introduced international support, we wanted to ensure your business could reach clients no matter where they were.

Here’s what made it possible:

  • Global Marketing Texts & Links:

    Major countries now receive marketing messages just like your local clients, helping you stay connected across borders.
  • International Orders & Shipping:

    Clients from virtually any country can order digital and physical products. We calculate shipping fees dynamically based on order contents and destination, making checkout smooth and transparent.

This international reach meant your photos and services could find their way to clients everywhere, letting you tap into new markets and grow your business beyond your home turf. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 6 as we continue this festive journey through 2024’s best features. And remember, something special is coming on December 25th!

Hello, my holly-jolly photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome back to Day 4 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

So far, we’ve revisited the new Web Dashboard, the New Retail Site, and the Offer Creator. Today, let’s look at Capture & Upload App Version 4, one of the key updates that kept you snapping and uploading with ease throughout 2024.

When we rolled out Version 4, we aimed to improve both performance and functionality.

Here’s what made it stand out:

  • Face Boxes on iOS:

    Enhanced face detection and clarity for more accurate participant matching.
  • Performance Improvements:

    A smoother, faster app experience, letting you focus on capturing the moment rather than waiting on your device.
  • Dark Mode for OLED Screens:

    Battery-saving and easier on the eyes, perfect for long event days where every percent of battery counts.
  • Foundation for Future Tools:

    This update laid the groundwork for features like GroupTags (stay tuned for Day 7!), ensuring you were ready for the capabilities we’d roll out later in the year.

The Capture & Upload App Version 4 played a crucial role in optimizing your Workflow, and helping you handle busy events with confidence. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 5, as we continue highlighting the top features of 2024. And remember, something extra special awaits on December 25th!

Hello again, my festive photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 3 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown. Over the past two days, we revisited the new Web Dashboard and Retail Site—both big hits in 2024. Today, let’s highlight the Offer Creator, a powerful tool that put you firmly in the driver’s seat of your photography business.

When we introduced the Offer Creator, our goal was to give you total flexibility and control, while maintaining simplicity and ease of use!

Note: We did keep the original NowCandid Default Price Levels around! So those are still an option to use, however you now have the option to create your own as well! Woo!

Here’s what made it shine:

  • Custom Product Lineups & Pricing:

    Tailor your product offerings exactly how you want, setting your own prices and creating packages that fit your clients’ needs.
  • Upsells & Shipping Fees:

    Configure upsell products and shipping costs to match the value of your work and the nature of the event—no more one-size-fits-all.
  • Themed Retail Experiences:

    Change your retail theme to align with your brand, the event’s vibe, or even the holiday spirit. Think of the Candy Cane theme for this festive season!
  • Easy Event Selection:

    Once you’ve created an Offer, simply select it whenever you’re setting up a new Event. Quick, organized, and ready to roll.

The Offer Creator allowed you to fine-tune your selling strategy, ensuring that every event’s storefront matched your vision and delighted your customers. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 4, where we’ll continue highlighting the best of 2024. And remember, something extra special awaits on December 25th!

Until then, stay jolly and keep capturing those wonderful holiday moments. 🎄

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.
