Happy Snappy Lite, the world’s first self-service photo souvenir system operating entirely on smart devices, has helped uShaka Marine World and its Wet ‘n’ Wild water park to increase guests engagement, market its attractions and maximise profits, in the space of just three months.
Located on Dubarn’s Golden Mile, South Africa, uShaka offers a world-class entertainment theme park and tourist destination and was looking for a photo solution that would maximise profits and market growth by creating lasting memories.
Proven results
The results of bringing Happy Snappy Lite to uShaka Wet ‘n Wild speak for themselves. In terms of engagement, 98% of all customers who had their photo taken scanned their Happy Snappy Lite PhotoPass to view the gallery. Since its implementation, over 180,000 digital photographs are in online circulation from the Happy Snappy Lite system, from one attraction.
The firm also reports that there have been 145,000 downloads and shares, and the operator has been able to collect over 10,000 email and mobile numbers, within GDPR compliance.
