Viewing Collected Contacts

Every time a guest shares their photos via SMS or email, their contact info is saved. This is a goldmine for your clients — and for your own marketing.



What Contacts Are Collected?


When guests use SMS or email sharing, they provide:


  • Phone numbers (from SMS sharing)
  • Email addresses (from email sharing)


These are automatically stored and associated with the event they attended.



How to View Contacts


  1. Tap the Profile icon (top right corner) and go to Contacts
  2. Browse the collected contact information
  3. Filter by event to see contacts from a specific occasion

What You Can Do with Contacts


  • Review — See who used the booth and how they shared
  • Export — Download the contact list for your client or your own use (see Exporting Contact Data)
  • Deliver to clients — Many clients book photo booths specifically for the lead generation



Privacy Considerations


Collected contacts are shared voluntarily by guests when they choose to receive their photos. However:


  • Be transparent — If your client plans to use contacts for marketing, guests should know
  • Follow local laws — GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations may apply to how contact data is used
  • Secure the data — Don't leave contact lists lying around or share them insecurely


Contact collection is a valuable add-on to your photo booth service. Many corporate clients will pay more for a booth that collects guest data. Factor it into your pricing.



Tips


  • Highlight this to clients — "You'll get a full list of guest contacts" is a strong selling point
  • Enable both SMS and email — More sharing options = more contacts collected
  • Export after every event — Download and deliver the contact list to your client promptly
