Imagine this: A parent just watched their child score the winning goal, or a newly engaged couple just saw their first breathtaking photos together. These are powerful, emotional moments — exactly when people are most excited to buy! If you wait too long to market those images, the excitement fades, and so do potential sales.

That’s why instant marketing is the key to success. Candid’s ViewFirst™ Marketing and Email & Text Marketing solutions ensure your photos reach customers at the perfect time — while they’re still feeling the joy, nostalgia, or pride that makes them want to buy.

 

Why Immediate Photo Marketing Works

People make purchasing decisions in the moment — especially when emotions are high. The faster they see their photos, the more likely they are to buy.

According to Candid’s ViewFirst Marketing:
📸 More sales, fewer hassles – Customers can see their photos first, making them twice as likely to buy compared to pre-pay models.
🎉 Higher participation rates – More people engage when they don’t have to commit before seeing their images.
🛍 Bigger orders – When customers feel an emotional connection, they tend to buy more prints and products!

 

Turn “Wow” Into a Sale with Instant Notifications

What is the fastest way to turn excitement into action? A text or email at the perfect time. Candid’s Email & Text Marketing ensures customers get their photos while the moment is still fresh.
