I have posted this elsewhere but no real feedback. You decide for yourself it is is for you. I have not tried it butI feel it is workable.
Well I missed the boat this year but.....
I had an idea a day or two before halloween this year. I made the sample product (see link for photo) took it to the business to have them see what if they would allow me to do this.
ANy business would be crazy not to!!!
I was to late getting all ofthe pieces together for halloween. But what about Santa in your local grocery, toy, etc.. stores. Same idea store pays for santa and ad in local paper. You supply signage (flyers) for the store announcing Santa being there/ date / time and photo prices.
you have store hours, hours, photo, web addy, or whatever they want at bottom of photo.
Announce that photos cam be picked up at the store on a pre-determined future date. A purchase price I have been tossing around is $6.00. This is low enough to not scare people away, yet large enough for you to make a decent profit.
Your cost:
prints .29 cents
time
that is it!
Assuming that you already have digital camera and software to create the images.
you will net $5.71 each.
I would bet in 2 hours you could take at least 100 photos.
That is $571 for you.
2 hours there and 2 hours at home for $571. not bad even if you have to pay Santa!
I haven't done this so not certain if it is a viable venture. Everyone has seen the MALL SANTA
but this is a bit different.
Do this at a few local businesses and the christmas gifts you purchase could be paid for!
Here is the link to the sample photo!

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
