HP Helps Restore Katrina Victims’ Photographs

To me, if you can promote your product or service while helping others in need then you have a good promotion. I believe that even if the campaign doesn’t sell more widgets and thing-a-ma-bobs, you had a successful day because of you humanity. Of course it is always nice to turn a profit.

A fantastic story of a successful and benevolent promotion was Hewlett-Packard’s photo restoration program in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. HP teamed up with ABC’s hit show Extreme Makeover Home Edition and helped Katrina victims restore their photographs which were damaged during the hurricane. HP scanned the water damaged photos and sent them to their employees all over the world to be restored as best they could. For a full article, please, click here.
