3 Ways to Scale Photo Marketing to Hundreds of Locations

Capturing memorable event photos of consumers is the best way for a brand to create social sharing and word-of mouth marketing. It’s easy to add social photo capture to any single event. But activating at dozens (or hundreds) of locations brings about a different set of challenges.

We have built our technology and agency services around the idea that brands should be able to add branded photo capture to every face-to-face marketing activity, no matter how small…or how widespread. When you’re considering a large-scale rollout, here are some quick pointers to keep in mind.

  • Map the Photo Opportunity to your Brand’s persona
  • Avoid unnecessary complexities
  • Get ultra-reliable, battle-tested technology, training, and support

Below are three different examples of large-scale rollouts, built with the above ideas in mind.

 

1. The full-service, turn-key approach; Outside staff in your store

Short-term retail location deployments often require turn-key services. On the designated day, pre-trained brand ambassadors show up with all required equipment at any number of locations. Everything is on-brand, from the uniforms, to the customized online experience.

2. Hardware-only: Your staff using “Picture Marketing In-a-Box”

For over a decade, Picture Marketing has been known for delivering the easiest-to-use photo capture technology, in any quantity, and to any location. We ship buttoned up technology packs to existing team members, and get them to “Fotozap Certified” status with customized training materials.
