Maximise Guest Engagement With Live Photo Galleries

Whether you’re getting married  (congratulations!) or organising a business event, most occasions are about bringing people together and ensuring everyone who attends feels included and involved. That can sometimes seem quite the challenge, especially if large numbers of those present haven’t met before.

So, clearly, you need to think about how you will increase participation and create a sense of community. 

One way of doing this – and it’s something you may not have previously considered – is via strategically placed photos QR codes to record the event.

In a nutshell, with QR photo codes, guests can easily share event photos in a single place. They do this simply by scanning the QR code on their phones. They’re then taken to a digital gallery or platform where they can upload and see the pictures – often, you won’t even need to download an app to do this, or supply any personal details.

This solution allows for real-time sharing, while event organisers can also view all the photos plus any video clips from the linked location. At the same time, it’s a potential source of some more informal shots, adding an extra dimension to a record of an event, on top of any official images.

At the same time, guests or delegates will instantly feel a part of the wedding or other event, so it’s a great ice-breaker and talking point among those who don’t yet know each other, and means they quickly start interacting.

Strategic and even quirky placement of QR codes will go a long way to ensuring seamless photo sharing and maximising engagement throughout the event. Clearly, codes need to be as visible and as accessible as possible. Here are some examples of where you can display codes so that people notice, talk about and use them:

• - Entry points where people into the main event space or room
• - Table centrepieces
• - In photo booths
• - In high-traffic, heavily visited areas of the venue
• - Anywhere you have digital screens
• - On any stationary, from menus to event brochures or place cards

By making the most of these photo-sharing tools, event organisers create a dynamic, memorable experience for everyone in attendance.

At EventsAlbum, we allow you to experience your event through your guests’ eyes. And we can help whether the occasion is a corporate gathering, a birthday or a wedding celebration. Plus we offer different packages for running a single or multiple events.

Just set up your event on our website and create a QR code which guests scan before easily uploading all images, without having to download a particular app or create an account. There’s also the option to display the pictures in a rolling live gallery in real time as they are uploaded – this seriously boosts guests’ interaction, both with the event and each other. If you prefer, you can approve the shots before they go on show,.

So you get a unique perspective on your event, and a fuller record than you would otherwise have. The resulting photographs will have multiple uses in social media, your website, newsletter, email marketing and more – download them all in high resolution.

At the same time, we offer unlimited storage, plus you have a whole year from the date of the event in which to download your images whenever you like.
