Here at Fotaflo we love to help tour and activity operator grow their business through the power of memory marketing and photo/video marketing.
With that in mind, here are answers to some of the top questions we get. If there’s anything else you need to know to get started we’re here to help.
Photo marketing is simply a way of enhancing your existing marketing strategy by providing guests with photos and videos of their experience with your brand. Photo marketing can improve your guest experience, increase referral leads, improve the quality of online reviews, interact with your brand advocates and drive repeat bookings.
Memory marketing is the use of photo and video content to build a marketing strategy around real-life customer experiences. This can help both remind past customers of their experience with your brand, as well as showcase the true emotions delivered by your experience to potential future customers. Leverage memory marketing to transform your marketing program.
Keep in mind, the most difficult and time consuming part of any photo and video service is in the operational challenge of selling the photo and videos. Giving them away to all your customers saves time, improves your customer experience, differentiates your business from the competition and results in higher ROI through referral booking and repeat bookings. Simply put, selling photos adds ancillary souvenir revenue, but giving away photos will grow your core business, what’s more important to you?

You deliver photo and video albums to your customers. Your customers share their albums by email or on their social networks. Every unique visitor to the customer’s album is a referral lead.

We recommend having your existing staff take photos. Chances are they’re already doing the work, they’re just doing it with your customers’ cameras and you’re not benefiting.

Manually distributing photos is incredibly time consuming. Fotaflo automates the entire photo/video distribution process in one centralized system, allowing your guides to operate more efficiently and focus on what truly matters - the guest experience.
Many tour and activity operators send their guests home with USB sticks and other physical hardware, but this can be expensive and often leads to a poor customer experience (since USBs and memories get lost). Fotaflo offers tour and activity operators with a far more cost-effective solution to distribute photos and videos to their guests.
The easiest and fastest way to get started is to install the Fotaflo app on an Android smartphone. Get started with one device and add more as you build out your photo solution. Any Android or iOS device can work with Fotaflo. We recommend that you purchase a device with a warranty. You can buy your own devices and we recommend choosing models with rugged cases.
Most organizations need fewer than 5 cameras, but we’ve worked with clients that have 70+! You can also use any other camera and import new and existing photos through your web browser.
You’ll need an internet connection to upload photos and videos from Android devices or to import existing photos and videos directly into Fotaflo. You can use a wired network connection, wi-fi, or cellular data directly from your Android devices. We’ve worked with many clients to solve internet connection and bandwidth challenges. Contact us if you need some extra help to design the right solution.
Yes, you can! We believe that the marketing value of giving away photos and videos is more than what you’ll earn in photo sales revenue, but we do have a complete photo sales solution.

Contact us to learn more about how we can help your business make the most out of selling photos and videos and one of our Account Managers will follow up with you personally to learn about your business objectives and to provide you with a custom quote.
