Save Money And Touch Up Your Event Pictures Yourself |
You’ll hardly find anyone who doesn’t bemoan the perfect photograph being spoiled by that gigantic palm frond in the background or a fly landing on the cheek at the wrong moment to give you a mole that puts the black hole to shame.
We all have attics and storerooms full of junk but in all that junk are memories too. These memories are stored in form of old, battered and tattered photographs. No matter how well these treasures are cared for, time takes its toll on them.
wowApic comes to the rescue in both these situations. They not only touch up and improve your photos but also restore the old ones. They do it for a fee but as they have skilled professionals; if a customer isn’t happy with the result, they reimburse the money.
The site also allows you to earn money by becoming an “affiliate”. You can refer the website to other people or even promote it on your own website; either way you end up making some pocket-money on the side.
Such a website is nothing less than a treasure trove for anyone who is marketing or launching events. There should definitely be more of these. You don’t need to hire professional photographers charging exorbitant rates. All that is needed is a camera and someone to happily click away; an added plus is that both print and digital photos can be used…

Post Launch Photo Sharing |

Events don’t just end there - often times the post-event phase is the most active part for the audiences. “Did you know that..?”, “And this happened..” “It was so cool..”. Fact is, you’ll be launching more events later on, so this post-event activity is important for your business. Its at this point that most event planners get a chance to breathe and feel a natural high. The buzz and excitement doesn’t end there, it amplifies.
One small but important strategy is to use photos of the event. Tag all of the names in the photos that you know and add them to different photo sharing sites such as flickr and photobucket. When people discover their own photos of those of their friends, they will feel a bond with your event’s brand as well. They will feel important.
Secondly, add photos to your event pages that people can come back for and discuss. Have interactive sessions on votings for coolest/lamest/funniest photos. Get a fashion expert to run a commentary on the best dressed people in the event. Photo sharing helps people bond together. If you can create the right emotions in them whenever they think back about your event, chances are they will come again to your next event and will probably also get some other friends along.
Another great tool designed specifically for events is Pictoma. It allows you to create events by filling out a form and share pictures against the event with the attendees/friends. Others can add pictures against that event as well…
