Introducing Spyne Share: The Online Photo Sharing & Selection Technology on your Website

Over the years, we have met several photographers. The thing which we found common in most of them was the struggle they were facing sharing the photos with their clients. The way Wedding Photos are shared and selected by clients for creating the Final Wedding Album needed a makeover. The process in itself is exhausting and takes up a lot of time of both Photographers and Clients.

Apart from sharing, there was another big problem that caught our eye. It was generating constant reference business flow. A photographer in the wedding industry knows that the best of clients usually come from references. So, it is an important part of a business that needs a lot of attention. This is why there is a need to have a systematic approach towards generating the reference clientele.

Well, that precisely gave birth to Spyne, with an intent to provide just the right solution for photographers and creative professionals.

First, let’s take a look at the existing problems of photographers in the wedding industry in details.

Problem 1:

Too many functions, too many photos to share

A typical Indian wedding sees a number of functions including Haldi, Mehendi, Reception, Wedding etc. and then there’s the Pre-wedding shoots. When a photographer covers such events, the number of photos captured can easily reach up to thousands, 6-10X more than the required images. Then the photographer has to select the best ones that finally need to be delivered.

Problem 2:

Medium to share the photos

Then the photographer shares those thousands of photos with the client so that the client can make the selections for the album. But this process is typically done via Pen Drives, Google Drive, Dropbox etc. Not only that these portals take a lot of time to organize the files by name and surrounded with other complicated processes but it also lacks the branding part. Then comes the part where the client has to select out of the photos you send them. This process can typically take anywhere from 5 to 6 months.

 Problem 3:

Up to 20% fee gets stuck

When a photographer starts working on a project, he receives around 80% of the total fees and the rest gets received when the final album is delivered. Since the sharing and selection part takes such a long time as mentioned in the previous point, the process becomes more and more complicated.

 Problem 4:

Dependency on clients for references

Every photographer knows that the best of clients only come from references from current clients. Usually, when a client gives your reference to friends or relatives, the customers you receive genuinely are interested in your work. This way, your reference becomes dependent on clients, making it quite inefficient.

This brings us to the solution

We at Spyne, after doing extensive research and meeting with hundreds of photographers in the industry, came up with the right solution to tackle all of these problems. Spyne Share, an ultimate tool which is specifically designed to tackle all the problems that exist in this industry. It aims towards making the business management easy for photographers and makes client servicing easy.

What is Spyne Share?

Spyne Share is a part of the suite of offerings that Eventila has built for the Vendors working in the Wedding and Entertainment domain. The platform provides a simple solution involving a basic workflow.

A photographer uploads all photos to a project and shares the project with the client. This way, the client sees a beautiful page which asks for the credentials for Photo selection. After selecting the images, the client can submit his choice. But before submitting, the client has to provide feedback.

Some benefits of using Spyne Share

1. Smooth Processing

Steps are really simple to follow. The selection time of photos is reduced from weeks to hours. We have seen great results as many photographers who used Spyne Share received the selected images from clients within 3 hours to one day by sharing the link.

2. Better reference generation

Once you’ve sent the link containing photos to the clients, that link can be distributed to their friends. This opens up opportunities to generate inquiries from friends and relatives of the couple. Moreover, the links are usually forwarded with a sticky WhatsApp Chat widget to make the enquiry easy and readily available.

You can ask your clients to distribute the link to their friends and relatives rather than using drives and dropbox. This way, search engines would know that you generate a good amount of traffic giving you prominence in the search results. Within a year, your website can generate 30 X 500 = 15000 Organic visits, which would otherwise require up to INR 30-40K on Google Ads.

3. Guaranteed feedback of your work

Usually, a photographer receives only about 6- 8% reviews on their work. With Spyne Share, that number can go up to 100%. Moreover, you can publish or hide a review online from the dashboard.

So, what’s the wait? Go ahead and use Spyne share to share your next project with your clients. The platform will give your business a boost and increase the chances of expansion.
