They take your picture whenever you go to an amusement park or cruise ship. Then they try to sell it to you for 20 bucks.
What a great way to kill the word of mouth. It’s short-sighted behavior, looking at the quick cash instead of the long-term referrals.
Here’s what I would do: Give every visitor to a tourist attraction at least 10 photos and videos to share.
- Photograph and film them in multiple locations and attractions
- Give them a card with a URL so they can find their photo
- Upload them to Facebook and YouTube – because that’s where the sharing happens
- Set up an e-card kiosk so they can share the photos with friends before they leave
- Set up a Twitter photo kiosk (or a backdrop with a “Tweet This” sign), encourage visitors to tweet their photos all over the place
Here’s an interesting technology from eShots to automate it
What fantastic ideas! I imagine that the photos taken when people go down the big drops on roller coasters would be the most-shared photos from the amusement parks. Those are always so much fun to look at.
Nice job, Andy!
