Marketing Opportunity for your event
Spearfish, S.D JAN 1 2009. — HiPi Fotos is a new mobile photography partnership that has a great market-
ing opportunity for your festival. HiPi Fotos will travel to your event to collect and sell portrait images of the
attendees at the event. These photos will not only provide your guest with everlasting memories, but will also
provide a powerful marketing tool for you and your event.
Hipi Fotos will have friendly photographers roaming the event, taking photos and interacting with the
guests. Guests will have the option to purchase these images as a traditional print, or a digital file. Digital files
will be distributed on flash drives. What’s really great about these flash drives is, not only will they contain
the photo, or photos, of each customer, but will also act as a means of communication for the festival event
coordinators and the target markets. Event coordinators will have the option to pre-load these flash drives with
their own marketing messages. This could include posters, music samples, coupons, or even event scheduling
information. Anything your event coordinators would like to communicate to their market would be able to
preloaded on HiPi Fotos flash drives.
HiPi Fotos will also host a booth at each event to display images and act as a central imaging hub. Customers
who prefer a traditional photo option will be able to purchase regular prints at the booth. At the booth, guests
will be able to participate in a still-frame video. This video will be a fun activity for guests, will document
each event in a unique way, and will act as an interesting and individual marketing tool for event coordinators.
Coordinators can post this video to their website after each event, motivating customers to visit the site after the
event and potentially purchase merchandise. The video on each event site will also link to HiPi Foto’s website,
where customers can purchase their photos from the video, or other photos that were taken of them at the event.
Customers will also be able to download the still-frame video for free. HiPi Fotos offers their clients priceless
memories of those special moments they never want to forget and at the same time provides a valuable market-
ing service to you and your event coordinators.
Our Mission at HiPi Fotos is to use our creative skills to ensure that every guest at events we cater to will leave
with a unique and creative image as memento of their experience. This is a great opportunity for you and your
event. HiPi Fotos wants to help make this year’s festival a festival that will never be forgotten.
