It is now possible to share event photos with friends within a matter of minutes or even seconds—through the internet. Say hello to the era of no more waiting for mails of CDs containing pictures.
QR codes are fast and convenient tools that could be used to share photos, and they do not cause any inconveniences to hosts or attendees. In every type of event, ranging from a wedding to a company party, sharing memories through QR codes is rapidly becoming a common theme among event planners.
In this guide, you will learn how you can start the process of event photo sharing with QR code, and see why this is the ideal solution for your next event.
Benefits of Event Photo Sharing With QR Code
There are several benefits to using QR codes for photo sharing; not only the event host and organizers but the attendees themselves.
a. Convenience
Unlike having to email or mail photos at a later date, an organizer can create a single QR code that directs to an album or a gallery. Attendees simply scan the code in order to find all necessary event photos in one place.
b. Instant Access
People may view images in real time—either during the event or right after the event. There is no waiting period—which helps to keep guests more engaged.
c. Simplicity
Guests do not have to register on an app or download some kind of application to use the service. It only requires a simple use of the smartphone camera to scan the QR code provided.
How to Implement Event Photo Sharing With QR Code
a. Choose a Photo Sharing Platform
The first decision to make is to choose a host platform where all your event photos are to be stored. One that has gained a lot of traction is GuestCam, as this service provider is both reliable and focuses on event photo sharing through the use of QR codes.
b. Upload Your Photos
Once you have chosen your platform, transfer your event photos to the online gallery. Make sure that all images are of high quality and the folders are arranged in a manner that will enable users to find what they are searching for easily.
c. Generate a QR Code
Once the images are uploaded, the system will often provide a mechanism which generates a code that is exclusive for the picture gallery. You may change the code in this program—depending on the theme or the shade that you want for your event.
d. Share the QR Code
There are various ways through which you can let your guests scan the QR code and these include: you can have the code printed on display items likely to be seen by guests; you can have the code posted on a big screen in the venue; or you can have the code in newsletters and thank you mails sent to the guests after the event.
e. Monitor Engagement
Most of these platforms have some analysis features that will tell you how many people have checked the code and the pictures. This can be helpful during interactions and when deciding on the activities for subsequent events.
