Hot Photos Part 4

That old saying is so true that a photograph is worth 1,000 words, or more. You can show something much easier than trying to describe it in words. An image is taken into the thought process differently than text messages or words. What would take a thousand words to describe can be transmitted instantly with just a quick glance.

Everyone enjoys using their own favourite mug. Photo images on these popular advertising tools just stand out better from all others. Add this to a new style that features an image that is only revealed when heat is applied by pouring a hot drink into the drinking vessel and you have a sure winner that will bring in major profits. People will look at a photo longer than they will for a text message. For best results, combine the two methods to present your message effectively.

Photograph imprinted gifts are a conversation piece and a hot selling item. When photos are printed onto a mug, the entire unit becomes an attractive centre of attention. Images can be applied to many mug materials, including china, plastic and earthenware ceramics. Printed photo mugs are very affordable and always work well for retail sale or at fund raising events.

Custom printed promo mugs are recognized to be hot sellers, especially when they feature an attractive photograph. If the name of the game is profit or raising cash for a charity, be sure to include promotional photo mugs.

There is a wonderful selection of styles and colours from which to select favourites. Express printing service makes these promotional products available even at the last minute. High quality printed mugs are used by all types of businesses, including sports teams, schools, charitable bodies, government organizations and businesses. They are sold at retail for profit and used to make money for charity.

Travellers on holiday enjoy purchasing durable souvenirs, and china, plastic or earthenware ceramic mugs fit that bill nicely. Custom shipping boxes are available in a variety of styles and colours, making gift presentation or shipping easy and colourful.

Most people who think of creating a "Men of (Your) University" calendar assume that all they need to do is locate only 12 hunky college males and have them photographed. These tasks must be accomplished. But there's much more to publishing a calendar and many more than 12 college guys must be recruited.

Besides recruiting, selecting, and training your student male models, there is production of the actual calendar, which includes photography, arranging graphic design and commercial printing. After the calendars are delivered, news media publicity must be arranged. Promotional events must be held. And, of course, your pinup calendar must be marketed!

But, first, the best-looking campus guys at your university or college must be recruited. After a decade of publishing, recruiting of college men, the Campus Men Calendar operation has learned a great deal and refined its approach. So, here are the facts:

There is a high demand to appear in pinup calendars of college men. Publishers should be able to choose from many college guys. Therefore, do not cater to, or try to convince any one college student to appear. Either they want to appear in your calendar or they do not! Students who need special handling often drag their feet and cause delays. Delays cost in potential sales. Therefore, students who expect you to cater to them, cost you sales.

Beware of any college guy who involves his girlfriend into your operation. Why? Because girlfriends do not truly want their boyfriends to "model." Yes, they want their boyfriend to be "good looking" and for his looks to be "model quality," but they really do not want them going on photo shoots, meeting female models and certainly do not want the competition that is generated from having their boyfriend's body being advertised to other females by appearing in a calendar.

When it comes time to choose the best calendar photograph, girlfriends can spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E. A revealing photograph may be threatening to a girlfriend. When it comes to their bodies, guys want to "show it off." Girlfriends want their men under wraps.

If you hold a promotional event after the calendar is released, any controlling girlfriend will either want to attend the event or will encourage your model not to attend. Remember, you cannot replace a model once the calendar is printed. You will only be able to select from the batch of 12 who appear in the calendar. That means if five guys are unreliable, you only have seven to choose from. How many of those seven will be working at their job during your event? If you convince a bar owner to hold an event, but only have one model show up, you might be in big trouble and possibly owe the bar owner for their advertising costs. If no models show up at a retail store that carries your calendar, you just might loose that store as an outlet!
