Canon Ambassador Program (1st Half of 2008)
Canon Philippines launched the Canon Ambassador Program last June 2007. The Canon Ambassador Program is a rebate program geared towards photography organizations. The program aims to provide another way for organization members to help raise funds for their respective organizations by getting rebates whenever they purchase Canon products.
The Canon Ambassador Program is also the first of its kind as it only available in the Philippines and not offered in any other country. The program is a purely local effort launched by Canon Philippines and is not affiliated with any international program.
“The program reinforces Canon’s support of the strong photography community and local industry, as well as a way to encourage the photographers to continue supporting locally distributed products which are covered by Canon’s local warranty” says Ms. Tiffany Shau of Consumer Imaging & Information Division, Canon Marketing (Philippines).
Each Canon Ambassador Program covers a six (6) month period for the year. For the 2nd half of 2007, the winning organization was the Pinoy Phot0graphy Org, popularly known as PiPho. They were able to raise over P120,000 for their organization.
