Pixe Snap Offers Big Wins to Brands and Consumers

Pixe launched its newest mobile social sharing offering - Pixe Snap - at the National Restaurant Association Show 2014 in Chicago to an enthusiastic reception from brands in the foodservice industry.

Pixe’s flagship software solution, Pixe Social, has been widely recognized for giving brands the opportunity to engage their existing customers and event attendees to convert them into social brand ambassadors.

Now, Pixe Snap widens the scope for brands even further by providing a downloadable consumer app that combines the best of selfies with social gaming.

Pixe Snap, available for download on iTunes, enables consumers to locate brands and events in their geographical area, and engage with the app to win attractive prizes from Pixe. Pixe Snap users can share fun, branded photos with their friends and family directly on their own Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram profiles. The photos are automatically posted with their chosen brand's logo and unique hashtag.

Beginning June 30, one Pixe Snap user with the most Facebook likes across all their photos wins a $100 Gift Card from Pixe each month. Through this initiative, Pixe is providing a great opportunity to fans to win big time by expressing their love for their favorite brands.

Each brand on Pixe Snap will have access to the photos posted with their logo, to share and promote on their own social media channels.

If you wish you to connect with hitherto untapped pools of potential customers, contact Pixe today to get your brand added to Pixe Snap.

The social sharing power of Pixe Snap enables your brand to become a part of customers’ everyday life. Pixe Snap's streamlined registration process connects brands and users in a matter of minutes giving your brand the opportunity to reach its maximum social sharing potential.

NRA Show 2014 Wrap Up

There I was, fresh off a plane, in an unfamiliar city, and entering the nation’s largest convention space, McCormick Place, measuring an impressive combined total of 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space. Welcome to a Five Star event, I said to myself, I hope you’re ready! Having already attended a couple of smaller events with the Pixe team, I was really looking forward to the 2014 National Restaurant Association Show and it more than lived up to my expectations.

When the show opened, the Grand Concourse photo booth attracted people like magnets as they entered the main halls staged with seven feet tall NRA and Pixe branded backdrops, several prop trees decorated with boas, hats, and aprons, and selfie-stands placed in the front. Over the next four days, the NRA Pixe photo booth clicked an impressive 2100 photos from excited attendees.

The first day concluded with team dinner at Giordano’s that allowed us to rest our aching feet, discuss the highlights of the day, and plan for day two. Over delicious Chicago-style pizza, we learned about an exciting partnership opportunity SpellBrite Signs, who provided trendy LED signs with the words “NRA 2014,” “Spicy” and “I’m Gluten Free” for users to wear while taking pictures. It’s always gratifying to work with other exhibitors to spread the love at face to face events.

Surrounded by power brands such as Samsung, OpenTable, and Groupon, Pixe was able to stand out in booth 6679 not only with our fashionable red carpet, but also with our live photo walls displaying a slideshow of all the photo booth shots. Thousands of attendees made their way to our booth to check out Pixe for their brands, and of course to get their hands on the “coolest giveaway of the show,” our ubiquitous blinky glasses. We showcased both Pixe Social, the leading tablet-based social photo booth solution, and our newest offering, Pixe Snap. The latter is a user-managed app that enables individuals to find their beloved brands by geo-locations and express their emotional connections with them.

All in all, the NRA Show turned out to be an amazing experience, giving me a new perspective on how much work goes into tradeshows. Although there may not have been blood, sweat, and tears, a lot of preparation before, during, and after the show was contributed by the Pixe team. As for my number one piece of advice for the next show? Comfortable shoes!
