Promotional cameras are among the hottest new promotional products to hit the radar. Whether the promotional cameras are disposable (with a great print area!), reusable (with a high fun quotient) or digital (with an incredible perceived value), they're starting to make their mark on the promotional products market. How can you use promotional printed cameras in your business? Here are ten ideas for ways that you can fit promotional cameras into your advertising and promotional campaigns.



1.Hand out promotional cameras to guests at events. Whether the event is a fund raising party or a grand opening, your guests will have fun taking photos of each other with pre-loaded promotional cameras.

2.Have a ?Picture Yourself?? promotion. It can be worked to fit almost any type of business. Automobile dealers might hand out promotional cameras to those who stop in for a test drive, using the slogan ?Picture yourself behind the wheel?? Banks could hand them out to those who sign up for new current accounts with the slogan, ?Picture yourself a millionaire?? Resorts and travel agents could get in on the fun with ?Picture yourself at the seaside?? You get the idea.

3.Print promotional cameras with your club or organization logo and sell them as a fund raiser. You can go high end or low end with this idea, using either colorful, fun plastic bodied compact cameras, or more expensive digital cameras in novelty sizes.

4.Give out digital credit card promotional cameras to your best clients and customers. They're an impressive way to introduce yourself to a new client, too.

5.Publicize a new product by using inexpensive plastic promotional cameras as inclusions packaged with the introductory package. For added kick, hold a photo contest for customers using photos they take of themselves wearing or using your new product.

6.Have promotional cameras made up with photos of nearby tourist attractions and sell them at your convenience store to all those tourists who left their cameras at home.

7.Use promotional cameras as one of several employee incentives in campaigns to increase sales or productivity. Digital cameras are the best choice for this use, though funky compact cameras in bright colors and jelly translucent cases can be fun as well.

8.Give away promotional cameras to all new parents in ?Baby Promo Packs? that are handed out when they leave the hospital for home. Make sure that your brand is displayed clearly on the camera's front or body. Convenience stores and pharmacies might offer free processing of the first roll of film of the new arrival. Photographers might offer a free sitting when the parents bring the camera in with them.. be creative! Promotional cameras and new parents are meant to go together.

9.Tuck promotional cameras printed with your company logo into the conference bags handed out to conference attendees. Include a printed brochure or list of nearby tourist attractions to encourage them to have a little fun during the conference.

10.Offer promotional cameras as prizes for fund raising competitions. Decide on a level of sales or funds that must be raised in order to qualify, and allow kids to earn a camera as one of several prizes.
