Here at PhotoDay we believe that technology can transform the volume photography experience. That’s why every new feature we develop is carefully designed to improve the lives of photographers, labs, and the parents they serve. We also believe in constant innovation which is why we won’t ever stop making tweaks and improvements to our product. With our first fall photo season just around the corner, we wanted to make sure that PhotoDay was 100% ready for prime time! Here’s a list of recent features that we deployed:

Creating purchase incentives

Every other industry on the planet uses special offers to drive sales. We knew we had to make coupon style offers part of the sales process for volume photography. Our offers feature is built so that photographers can set up incentives to encourage specific purchase behaviors - like higher order values and earlier ordering. These incentive offers are super flexible so the photographer can design offers that best fit their business. Offer types include: percentage and dollar-off discounts, product giveaways, and free shipping. Our most recent release includes product giveaways - BOGO (buy one, get one) and free product with a purchase.

Mobile experience for everybody

With PhotoDay, customers can access their photo galleries and make purchases right from their smartphones. Parents can go to the website gallery for an awesome experience on either their phone or computer.

Going digital

We realize that sometimes parents just want the digital files of their kids’ photos so they can save them in a folder for later or print them on their own. This most recent PhotoDay release includes a digital download product option so that parents can purchase watermark-free image files.

Gallery notifications

We love it when parents sign up for their child’s picture day in advance. When they opt in early we want to make sure they receive a notification as soon as the photographer uploads the file to let them know their photos are available for viewing and purchase. In this most recent release, we added a text notification that lets parents know as soon as their photos are ready. We thought you’d like that!

Smart cropping

PhotoDay puts the child’s professionally shot photos right into the parent’s hands. We've also given parents more control of their photos than ever. With our new smart cropping feature parents can crop and rotate photos to look exactly how they want them to look. It’s even smart enough to know the image’s orientation - so a 5x7 image will print either landscape or portrait. Parents know best!

Recognizing faces in a crowd

PhotoDay’s face recognition technology, FaceFind, uses AI technology to get smarter every day. What this means is that FaceFind delivers more accurate results to parents who are trying to find their child’s photos in a gallery with possibly dozens if not hundreds of other kids. We want to make sure that a face at any angle in any lighting can be detected. This most recent release (and probably every release from here on out!) will include refinements to FaceFind. We are always striving for perfection.

Getting started on PhotoDay

While PhotoDay is incredibly simple to use, we know that it is a radically different workflow for photographers. That’s why we’ve created these bite-sized tutorial videos to help them quickly get set up and get started using PhotoDay. We take them step-by-step through the process of setting up their studio, their storefront, their clients, their jobs, special offers, and more! If you're not already using PhotoDay, you can sign up here.

Because little details matter

The photographers already using PhotoDay give us lots of valuable feedback for ways we can tweak our product and make it better. Here are a few of the smaller feature enhancements we made with this most recent release:

• Package item quantities: Item quantities will track throughout the purchase process
• Image favoriting: Parents can “heart” their favorite images as they go through the gallery.
• Monthly sales reports: Photographers can track their sales and sales tax right from their PhotoDay studio panel.

We certainly have been busy over here at our Orlando HQ. Please keep your feedback coming so that we can continue to iterate and make your PhotoDay experience even better!

Wow! I have to share my excitement through the game “Never Have I Ever”, because it’s fitting!‍

Never have I ever been asked to write copy or had the need to think about how to present sports & school picture day directly to the customer in today’s digital world, until now.

‍Never have I ever communicated exactly what I want to say to the customer about my picture day products and offerings. For example, I’m not just presenting a photo of trading cards with a price! Now I have the ability to present trading cards, with a price and a fun description!

Never have I ever connected with a customer like everyone else. When I say everyone else I mean Amazon, Uber, Shipt and Groupon.

‍Never have I ever effectively implemented a meaningful digital marketing plan that includes push notifications and text messaging. I can send useful information and use offers to connect and engage, NOT just clog their email and sit there never to be opened among thousands of other useless emails.

Never have I ever envisioned volume photography without piles of paperwork and keeping track of which images go to which person. OH the calls. OH the digging through piles of paperwork to find that order with insufficient funds. OH the image number written down transposed, or the barcode that wasn’t scanned.

‍Never have I ever thought that I would ever be educating others and trying to change the way things are done for the evolution of our industry.

Look guys, when the team asked me to write the product features, description, promotional text and keywords... I felt this overwhelming sense of responsibility to make it as awesome as I could to engage customers and bring value back to what we do as volume photographers.

Then I realized, wow, never have we ever connected on this level, until PhotoDay.

We conducted a survey using SurveyMonkey and Social Media to figure out how exactly parents of school age children perceive Picture Day. There has been many times I’m with photographers and I hear one or more of the following statements:

“Parents don’t buy pictures anymore. They can just take pictures on their phones.”

“Parents don’t value photography like they used to”

“People don’t spend money on something they don’t need, and no one really needs pictures.”

“Participation is down or low. Picture Day used to be so important to leagues and schools. It just doesn’t seem like a priority.”

“Coaches don’t see the value in participating anymore. They are annoyed and Picture Day has become an inconvenience.”

“Schools just need their images for the Yearbook and ID cards. They don’t really help raise awareness for Picture Day sales as a fundraiser.”

All of the above are simply just assumptions based on circumstance. We went straight to the parents, grandparents, children, coaches, teachers--- to ask the question, "What does Picture Day mean to you?"

AND THE RESULTS...

       
1. Out of 174 respondents, 92% female and 8% male… 87% of parents (respondents) are between the age of 26-50. There are 261 kids between the ages of 5-17. And 258 of the children are enrolled in Sports & Activities.

       
1. We included region, and while most of my following is in the southeast (58%) we did receive various responses from other parts of the country.
       
2. 75% of the parents send their children to public school, with 20% in private school and the rest being homeschooled.

       
1. Out of all families, 62% with children under the age of 6 attend daycare.

       
1. Over 65% of parents have purchased school photos in the past 6 months, 40% spent an average of $21-30 per child, and 31% spent $31-40 per child. Surprisingly, only 49% of parents have purchased sports & activities photos in the last year, with 46% spending an average of $21-30.  Around 37% have spent over $31.

       
1. For parents between the ages of 26-50 years old, 18% feel it’s very important for a photographer to offer sibling photos. 100% of parents 18-25 years feel it’s very important.

       
1. 33% of all age groups find it very important to order actual prints. 7% don’t feel it’s important at all or order prints. GOOD NEWS! 100% of young parents 18-25 find it moderately important to order prints.

       
1. Let’s talk digital files. 35% of all parents find it very important digital files are made available to them. 27% find it moderately important. That’s over half of all respondents. It’s important to note 100% of parents 18-25 find it moderately important. 50% of parents 51-65 don’t find it important at all, or could care less.

       
1. 60% of parents between 26-65 do not find it important, or are completely neutral when it comes to ordering photo gifting products. Surprisingly, younger parents 18-25, 100% find it moderately important.

       
1. A whopping 100% of the young parents find it VERY important to have multiple poses to choose from. Nearly 60% of parents 26-50 find it important. 40% of the older parents 51-65 don’t really care. Maybe it’s because they’ve never had the option presented to them.

       
1. It goes without saying, 86% of parents want the best expression from their child in a photograph. I was really surprised to see 10% of the older parents had no opinion on the matter.

       
1. Group and Team photos are important to about 50% of all parents.

       
1. 76% of parents answered graphic templates and designs are not very important in the grand scheme of things. This disappoints me, as a lot of work actually goes into the design and functionality from both labs and photographers! Maybe we should change our focus?

       
1. Only 16% of parents said they wanted to pay by cash or check via paper form. Maybe they didn’t know they could order online? Everyone else would like to order online in advance, or online after they see their photos.

       
1. Most people prefer to be reminded about picture day via text. Since we gave the ability for them to choose more than one option (text, email, paper, FaceBook)... nearly everyone selected all four! What does this mean? Well, I think it means parents just need to be reminded!

       
1. Last but not least… the perception of picture day as a fundraiser. A whopping 67% of parents had no idea their photographs are actually a fundraiser. It’s time for a change. #raiseawareness

All in all, our survey told us what a powerful tool in the volume photography market PhotoDay will become. Change is long overdue.

So many great quotes that identify the danger of staying in your comfort zone and resisting change while all around you change is threatening the status quo, disrupting markets and impacting your business. History has shown that maintaining the status quo in dynamic markets can be lethal as technology enables new ways to serve customers and consumers follow into new habits and purchase propensity.

Digital has certainly had its impact on the professional market, eliminating film (and its profits), reducing proofing and printing (and their profits), introducing “iPhoneography” and social media, creating constantly connected consumers, and opening the market to millennial behaviors and their digital lifestyles and ecosystems. And we don’t need to change to serve these new cravings and satisfy this new wave of consumption! Change is inevitable and absolutely necessary to transform your business to meet the needs to today’s digitally savvy consumer.

The spoils of failing to change is seen all around us, from Blockbuster (hello Netflix) to retailers (hello Amazon) to Cable (hello cord-cutters and cord-never’s) to music downloads (hello Pandora and Spotify) and many more examples of incumbents who were run over by technology and did not (or could not) react to new ways of doing business and delivering value. In the portrait market we see reduced sittings and buy rates, lower AOV and prices, greater demand for digital files and alternatives to print and albums (canvas, wraps, wall art and décor). All of this imploring us as an industry to change our ways of doing business with mom and meeting her evolving needs for choice/convenience/control, for engaging her online and on her mobile device, and satisfying her need for both physical and digital output.

Change does work, look at Bose (superior sound from digital streaming), Garmin (services beyond basic navigation), Apple (from Mac computers to iPhones and more), and many other examples. So if change is needed, why do we put up such resistance? Basically for a few very good reasons –

       
1. Change requires us to learn new skills and capabilities and forego the legacy ways that brought us success and market leadership – there’s risk we won’t/can’t do it as well
       
2. Change resets revenues and margins and often forces us to accept lower economics and profits than our current business models – digital costs less and often sells for less
       
3. Change means going head to head with new entrants and competitors who are not encumbered by legacy methods, capital or rules – change opens the market to new business models and new players who are often better positioned to serve them

So, change is hard and understandably risky, who doesn’t long for the old ways where everyone made money and knew what to do and how to do it! But the old ways are gone and ain’t ever coming back so change is needed to compete in today's digital market to remain relevant and competitive.

Let’s face it, in spite of mobile devices and digital photography, social media and online shopping, and new consumer behaviors, the professional market has many advantages. Professional capture is differentiated through style, composition and artistry. Professional output is unique, innovative and offers far greater quality than retail alternatives. There are compelling reasons for consumers (moms!) to use professional photographers and labs to memorialize children and families and to chronicle physical maturation and the coming of age! There are quality advantages and conditioned behaviors that leverage habits and practices of even today’s millennial mom, especially with sports and school where the portrait creates a memory of participation and achievement and serves a rite of passage, something very important in today’s social currency.‍

But in spite of its advantages today’s portrait experience is in need of change. Mobile is the defacto device for all of mom’s activities and needs to be the epicenter of her portrait engagement – from immediate access of images, to socializing in Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat, to ordering and upselling, to pushing to friends and family. Online is her constant connection and Amazon her preferred shopping tool, and portraiture needs to follow into her online world and Amazon-like experience. Today’s millennial mom seeks authenticity, social causes, digital payments, experience over products, and much more.

Order envelopes, checks, paper flyers, etc are all inconsistent with the digital lifestyle of today’s target consumer.

So, what change is needed – pretty simple to identify and a bit more complex to deliver, but here’s what’s needed to win today’s portrait customer:

       
• Demonstrate the differentiation – professional quality vs iPhoneography (which by the way has demystified photos and prints, made all images equally unimportant, and led to an abundance that has overwhelmed and undervalued photography – pro content offers a distinguished and a much differentiated look!)
       
• Serve them electronically – online, via the web, and especially via their smartphones
       
• Provide both physical and digital products – and innovate the physical products to be compelling and inspirational
       
• Amp the engagement beyond picture day – and win the experience
       
• Super simplify – make it Uber simple
       
• Support and align with causes that are important to mom – leverage fundraising to support her children and their leagues and schools
       
• Leverage peer reviews and ratings – and recommend products based on popularity
       
• Deliver an experience and sell the service – it goes beyond the products

In addition to the changes aimed at adapting to new consumer behaviors there are changes needed to streamline workflows and lower operating costs, improve integration with labs, and reduce the overall stress facing today’s photographers and labs. Tools are needed to increase automation, reduce labor, enhance image and data management, and so much more!

Let’s face it, change is hard and change is scary. It’s risky and it’s highly uncertain. But its absolutely necessary to remain current in today’s ever changing and volatile market. People who fear change are crippled by its paralyzing grip and are run over by disruption. People who embrace change are rewarded with opportunities to ride disruption and succeed in the new frontiers.

Change opens opportunities and can lead to real competitive advantage as others fail to change with you. The market is well served with tools and platforms that enable the changes needed, but it’s up to you to embrace change and to make it work.

Maintaining status quo may feel good in the moment, but it risks your future and sets you up to fall further behind in the market. Embrace change, follow into new ways to serve your customers and deliver value, and remember you do for mom what she can’t do for herself, both with capture and output – do it in the ways she wants you to and win her business!

Making Tacos

There are many deciding factors as to what makes a great taco. You see, tacos are all about amazing architecture. The tortilla, meat, and toppings must balance perfectly. One cannot overpower the other. Then there’s the ambiance surrounding you---The music... That bass 4 measure drum beat. The smell of freshly fried corn tortillas.The muffled sound of everyone’s dinner conversation while sitting in a corner booth in dim lighting.And an ice-cold beverage to wash it all away.That, my friends, is what makes an amazing taco. It’s an experience. So what in the heck do tacos have to do with PhotoDay? I’ll start from the very beginning…

‍It was at the Southeast Photo Convention on January 26th, 2017. There were only a few vendors there. When I say few, I mean two of us on the second day. Reedy Photo and Snapshots. We were in the basement of the Aloft downtown Orlando. While the class was going on, we just hung out and did our own work. Jon and Brian walked over and introduced themselves to Deb and me. Brian said he had been a customer of Reedy Photo in the past. Jon asked what exactly we did. I answered, “we’re a local pro lab!”.

The conversation went back and forth, then we decided to get together with just the two of us to talk some more. At this point, I don’t think either one of us knew what was going to happen, but we had some time to kill so, why not? I’m not even sure what got me on the topic, but it was most likely one of my clients texting/emailing me about designing their order form for spring. I vented to Jon a little. I’ve been designing forms for 15 years, I’m so tired of this. He says, why? Why don’t they just all order online? I immediately laughed, and it was an obnoxious laugh. I said, “there is no way any of my photographers would abandon this paper envelope”.

Jon wanted to know more. He was knowledgeable in the portrait and wedding industry, but not so much in the volume market. The volume market is where I started and where I have stayed through thick and thin my entire career. Whether it was production, shooting, sales, template creation, designing marketing collateral, websites, campaigning, reporting, lab sales, equipment sales, support, sales directing, general managing... I’ve done ALL OF IT. I gave Jon a basic overview of what our workflow is from Photographer to Lab to Consumer and watched his jaw hit the floor. He said, “you know, technology can do all of that for you”. He told me about the technology he had access to. About things he has seen and some of his ideas he felt could be implemented to help solve so many of the pain points. I went home that weekend with my mind in a whirlwind.

Then, I called a few photographers. I pitched them the idea of…What if I told you, that you’d never have to record another image number again? That all of your sales could be automated? That consumers could verify and select products and send them directly to the lab? That all communication at that point could be between the consumer, and a piece of software… and alleviate customer service? That fundraising for a league or school could be an interactive experience among a community and extended to scattered and transient families?THEY LOVED IT. And I quote...

“This industry needs change. It needs something disruptive”

So… I blew up Jon’s phone via text and he told me he’d get back to me Monday. That was a long 24 hours. I had no idea what would happen but I just decided (with the support of my best buds) that I had to do SOMETHING. For the next few days, we talked a lot. A LOT. Like hours. I pitched it to my boss, Stan Reedy, and he loved it. It was time to introduce Stan to Jon.

After the introduction, Jon told me if I was serious about executing this idea, to meet him in Vegas at WPPI. So, I booked a ticket a few days before the event. I’m still not convinced he thought I’d actually show up, but I did.I met the team at Snapshots… most of them. I found that they have a solid, equal foundation. Each person compliments the next. It’s a perfect balance. The ambiance of the office environment is unlike anything I’ve seen. It is straight out of Silicon Valley. Even Stan had to write on the whiteboard-lined walls at some point.

That is how PhotoDay was born. The architecture is solid, the team is balanced and our future is limitless.
