The Tamron Educational Purchase Rebate allows US instructors and students to save up to $100 on Tamron lenses. “The new program allows students to visit any Tamron dealer and take their newly purchased lens home with them,” stated Stacie Errera, Chief Marketing Officer for Tamron USA, Inc. “Previously, students had to visit the store to pay for their lens and then go back to the store after their specially-registered lens was available.” Tamron believes the new rebate-driven program is more convenient for both the purchasing student or instructor and the dealer. The Tamron Educational Purchase Rebate can be combined with any regular Tamron rebate in effect at the time of purchase.
