You spent months planning the perfect birthday bash or graduation party. You know your guests took hundreds of photos on their phones. But the next morning? Silence.
Getting guests to actually share the photos they took can be like pulling teeth. Here are three foolproof strategies to make it happen.
Make it Immediate
Don't wait until the next day to ask for photos. Set up a system where guests can upload during the event. The easier it is, the more likely they are to do it.Use QR Codes
Nobody wants to download a new app or type in a long URL. Print out QR codes and place them on tables, by the bar, and near the entrance. A quick scan with their smartphone camera should take them straight to your shared upload page.Try these out at your next event and watch the memories roll in!
