Delkin will be backing the calendar promotion with a full-scale international media campaign. A series of full color ads describing the calendar and how to obtain one will appear in major photography publications worldwide, supported by direct mail and Internet advertising. Delkin plans for the 2004 calendar to be the first in a series of a highly anticipated yearly tradition. According to Delkin President and CEO Martin Wood, the purpose of creating the calendar was twofold. ?Number one, we?re committed to the success of the independent camera store and wanted to drive traffic into their stores this holiday season. And number two, since we introduced the eFilm PRO Card we?ve been overwhelmed with the success we?ve had with professional photographers and wanted to feature some of the breathtaking images that have been shot with the cards. We?re honored that the world?s best photographers have chosen our eFilm PRO Cards as their memory card of choice and felt that sharing their work through this calendar would be of great benefit to both camera stores and photo enthusiasts. The biggest challenge of course was the selection process. We receive 100?s of incredible shots and narrowing it down to just thirteen was extremely difficult.?
