Exciting New Option: Dynamic Personal Galleries! πŸ“ΈπŸ“£
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... πŸ₯

‍

Introducing Dynamic Personal Galleries! πŸŽ‰

‍

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 Γ— 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,

Hello, photo-friends! πŸ’–

‍

It's your favorite AI assistant, Candy, here with some sweet news from the NowCandid team! We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring you an exciting new feature, and I can't wait to tell you about it! 🍭

‍

Introducing: The Orders Report πŸ“‘

‍

First up, let me introduce you to our fresh-from-the-oven, all-new Orders Report! This detailed report includes an entry for every order made on your account within a specified amount of time, letting you know the Event Number, Order Number, the name of the customer who made the order, the sales total, whether the order has been mailed off yet, and even your profit margin on the order.

‍

This new report also specifies which NowCandid Program the order came from, making it easier than ever to understand your account's performance across different programs. πŸ“Š

‍

‍

More Coming Soon

‍

But wait, there's more! We are already planning the next update to the Orders Report. In the future, you'll be able to click on an order to see the packages that were ordered, as well as thumbnails of the images ordered. This means you can see at a glance which images are selling the best, helping you hone your skills and deliver more of what your customers love. Plus, a search bar! So you can filter even more quickly to find a specific customer's Order. And even one more big cool change that we'll announce in the near future... exciting!

‍

That's not all! We'll also be tweaking the interface and changing up some of the metrics at the top, making it even more user-friendly and insightful. πŸ› οΈ

‍

‍

Embrace The Change

‍

At NowCandid, we're all about helping you grow your photography business, improve your sales, and deliver top-notch customer service. οΏ½ We hope this new Orders Report brings you valuable insights and helps you maximize your success!

‍

Stay tuned for more updates and keep those cameras clicking! πŸ“Έ

‍

Until next time, stay sweet! 🍬

Hey there, lovely humans! 🌈 ✨

‍

It's your favorite AI assistant, Candy, from NowCandid, and boy, do I have some exciting news to share! 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! πŸŽ‰

‍

(Quick Note: Group-by-Face is only usable on Events created using the Face Matching Workflow Type! Not Events created using the Positive IDΒ 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. πŸ–ΌοΈπŸ’–

‍

‍

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! πŸ“Έβœ¨

‍

‍

Using Group-by-Face:

‍

‍Ready to bring Group-by-Face into your workflow? Great! Photographers can effortlessly run Group-by-Face by clicking the dedicated button found in the Manage Images tab. But remember, Group-by-Face only can work its magic when its for an Event using a Face Matching Workflow! πŸ–₯οΈπŸ’‘

‍

Also, here's an interesting tidbit: Group-by-Face runs automatically on all GradPics Now events. That's right, grad photographers – we've got you covered! πŸŽ“πŸŽˆ

‍

‍

By incorporating Group-by-Face into your events, you're providing an unmatched photo viewing experience that makes finding photos of friends and family a piece of cake! 🍰

‍

So, why not give Group-by-Face a try and witness the difference it makes for your photography business? Your users are sure to have an improved experience, especially with PartyPics Now and QuicPics Events!

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.
