Every event your venue hosts is a chance to add value and revenue. Guest photo sharing — a private gallery where guests upload their photos, videos and messages via a QR code — is exactly the kind of premium extra clients happily pay for. Better still, once you've installed reusable smart signage, it costs you nothing to offer at the next booking. Here's how to make it work.

Install permanent smart signage once
Fix reusable QR and NFC signs around your rooms a single time. Unlike printed codes tied to one event, smart signs re-point to whichever booking is running — so there's no reprinting and no waste. Set-up is a one-off job for your team.
Assign signage to each booking
For every new event, assign your signage to that client's private gallery from your venue dashboard. Guests scan and upload; everything lands in a branded gallery for that specific celebration. When the event ends, you reassign the signs to the next one.
Package it as a premium add-on
Bundle guest photo sharing into your top-tier packages, or offer it as a paid upgrade at a fixed price per event. Because your cost is effectively fixed, most of that upgrade is margin — and clients see clear, tangible value.
Let it market your venue
Every gallery carries your venue's branding, and clients share their galleries with all their guests. That means your name travels to hundreds of potential future clients with every event — a marketing channel that runs itself.
Keep it brand-safe and effortless
Turn on moderation to keep galleries appropriate, manage every room and day from one dashboard, and give your events staff their own seats and roles. It's a service that looks impressive but takes very little to run.
Quick tips
- • Price it as a clear per-event upgrade so the value is obvious.
- • Install signage in every room you regularly hire out.
- • Show prospective clients an example gallery during viewings.
