How would you market this???

Hi Guys,

I am looking to get into mast photography. For those who have not seen it, it is simply a 50ft pole you attach a camera to the top of and you take digital pictures from the ground using a long cable and a laptop.

The pictures offer a unique perspective rarely seen by other means.

You can also send a camcorder up and have a live feed to the ground.

Apart from the obvious one, estate agents, who would you contact in order to try and get business. Ideally within about 30 miles from home, so people/businesses you can find in most towns would be perfect.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

dunno, but will this type of business not be starting to tail off with the advent of things like google earth?

Only if people just want a low res pic of their roof.

if you pay them for a pic, you can get a hi res pic of your roof

Don't know if it helps but we often get people knock on the door selling photos of our property taken from a light aircraft.

They show you proof copies and take orders and bring the photos back about 4 days later (you pay when you receive the photo). I bought one for £10 including frame, and my neighbours bought a much larger one from another seller for £8 without a frame.

They really are super, but I had never seen them advertised before and suddenly we got inundated with people selling them door to door. Virtually every one is this bit of london have these photos on their walls, yet friends in other parts of the country have never come across this before, so maybe they target particular areas?

How about hotels, car dealers or pretty much any business that may want to show off their property on promo material but with a different angle.
