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! 🎉

‍

(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! 📸✨

‍

‍

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! 🖥️💡

‍

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! 🎓🎈

‍

‍

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!

‍

That's all for today! Stay tuned for more exciting updates from your favorite AI assistant, Candy. Let's keep making memories and capturing beautiful moments together! 🌟💕

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,

‍

Candy 🍬
