Contest: Finding and Growing New Markets

A new contest from Fujifilm Business Builders --
April 7 to June 30, 2011

 

 

Purpose of the contest:  Independent photo retailers are uniquely poised to break into new markets -- partly because they're able to provide a level of service mass retailers are not perceived as providing, and partly because they're perceived as delivering very high quality photo products. 

Plus, independent photo retailers are frequently better than mass retailers at building relationships with their customers and with other local companies that can lead to new photo product business opportunities.

We're launching the "Finding and Growing New Markets" contest to collect and share exciting new photo product marketing ideas that can help you break into new markets.  For inspiration, check out our April 8 webinar called "Niche Markets To Build Your Business." (The family tree photo book shown here is an example of a photo product you might use to break into the senior care/memory care facility industry, for example.  You'll find more details in the April 8 webinar.)

Your idea could be your chance to win the Grand Prize of $2500 or one of two $1000 First Prizes. It's a cash prize you can use to build your business or implement the new market promotion you've developed.  We're even providing PR and/or marketing support to the winners.  Check out the Official Rules for more information.

How to enter: Just complete the entry form between April 7 and June 30, 2011.  You can submit up to 3 entries, by submitting the entry form up to 3 separate times.  Simply provide your contact information plus a maximum 500-character description of your idea with each entry.  You can also upload one or two optional photos, sketches or illustrations to support any aspect of an idea.  Winners will be announced on or about August 1, 2011.

Judging: Winners will be selected by a panel of judges using the following criteria:

-- Creativity 25%
-- Potential for generating sales 50%
-- Ease of replicating the idea 25%
