The next wave of photo kiosks go social
Recently, we had the chance to talk with Alexander Lowe, CEO and founder of the new social photo kiosk maker, iSnap Social, which is featured in a blog post at KioskMarketplace.
“First deployed in December of 2010, the company recently announced the 500,000th image shared via its kiosks, resulting in 100 million online impressions.
“Snap Social’s Photo Station allows users to take a photo at a venue or event and upload it to social networks like Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter. Unlike traditional photo kiosks that are designed with some form of output as the final product, the Photo Station is designed with social interaction in mind. Kiosks are placed in high-traffic locations letting users take high-quality photos that are integrated with a brand message.
” ‘The holy grail of social-media marketing is enticing your customers to market on your behalf and there’s no better way to do that than photo sharing,’ said Lowe. The iSnap cloud-based backend tracks metrics that gather usage statistics, conversions, time and demographic information.”
KioskMarketplace doesn’t run photos with it’s blog posts, so here’s some bonus photos of iSnap in action:
It is a great surprise of innovation in photo kiosks that it really goes social. Now, instead of having only a final product, they can now also upload the photos to the social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and anywhere else. Moreover, this is truly a great advancement of the picture kiosks of today.
