High School Graduations
✨ INTRODUCING WALDO✨
Introducing Waldo! We’re excited to team up with Waldo Photos for our Graduations. Through Waldo, we’ll be able to communicate to our families about our graduation photos, match our images to the student data through facial recognition software, host the photos through online galleries, follow up on post sales and then finally wrap up the process by printing and shipping packages ordered!
NO MORE MATCHING!! Less time and stress - more fun shooting grads!
Marketing & Communications
Before, Dorian would collect the student data and email addresses from schools to send out emails prior to graduation to encourage participation. Waldo communicates to families weeks before graduation on how to register their phone number to receive their graduation photos once they’re uploaded!
Data Matching ~ Facial Recognition!
Through the registration process, families are asked to upload a selfie of their soon-to-be graduate. This photo will help identify the graduation ceremony photos through facial recognition software.
No more matching! No more asking students their last name, spending hours after the ceremony matching students in CapturePost, no more listening to the names being called on a Facebook live stream. Waldo’s software matches the data from the photos that families pre-registered OR from our Fall UG Portraits! Easy peasy right?!
Gallery Hosting
Our photographers will upload the job to the lab who will then upload the images into the Waldo online gallery. Through this gallery, families will be able to browse packages and order prints!
Post Marketing
Waldo will text the families to share a proof of their graduate which encourages them to order right away! Time is of the essence, and through this process, we’ll be able to turn around images back to families much faster.
Marketing with Waldo
Waldo uses facial recognition software to match student data and communicate to families how to view/order their grad's pictures.
Families must first register their student by uploading a "selfie" style photo so the software can then match the Dorian gradution photos we send into the lab. All Waldo registration can be done on their phone! Through texting!
Each school has their own unique code and QR code for their online gallery.
WALDO VS DORIAN
All branches should plan on using the Waldo process for their graduations UNLESS there are worries your graduation may have a lot of sunglasses or celebratory swag that may affect Waldo's facial recognition software.
If Waldo's facial recognition software isn't going to be successful for your upcoming graduation, you'll need to process the job like we've always done in the past, and match the data in the TNJ in CapturePost described below.
Please let your Office Manager know if you have any graduations that will need Dorian job processing rather than Waldo immediately.
Online galleries for Waldo and Dorian are set up weeks prior to the ceremony and will need to be addressed as soon as possible.
