See what INSTASHARE has to offer!
The Details:
We all know how hard it is to get just ONE lasting positive impression on potential customers. Even with all the different marketing platforms we use it’s never a guarantee. We go through dozens of media channels, spend thousands of dollars all for something so simple.
What if, you could use your current customers to do this for you. People who have already been to your event, eaten at your restaurant etc now works with you. We could use them to advertise a message to their friends. An impact much more effective then anything we could create.
This sounds a lot like a referral… let’s keep going.
Then what if I told you that you could amplify this referral to hundreds even thousands of people?
Listening yet?
I’ll tell you how you can – it’s called INSTASHARE
Who We Are:
INSTASHARE was started by a group of young entrepreneurs who knew the power of social media and sought to find a new way to utilize its potential through powerful brand experiences. This is our solution.
We take people at your event, give them an incentive to advertise, aka ‘post photos’ of your brand/event through social media and further expand your reach.
Your current customers/guests’ are now marketers for you. By using your custom hashtag at the event, you will now be advertising to hundreds.. eh.. more like thousands of people – through the powerful channel of referrals.
InstaShare provides your customers/guests at these events with that incentive to promote YOUR BRAND.
Not only do you target your guests friends and followers but also your current customers. With InstaShare you will provide each one of your guests a printout of the photo they captured at your event.
Easy. Innovative. Effective.
See what the Minnesota Daily has to offer!
The Minnesota Daily is an independent, student-produced newspaper on the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota. The paper is published Monday thru Thursday during the fall and spring, and on Wednesdays during the summer.
A non-profit corporation with tax-exempt status, The Daily operates as a training institution, governed by a Board of Directors, who each year select an editor-in-chief, business operations officer and president to run the newspaper as the Office of the Publisher.
More than 100 years old, The Daily has grown from a small arts weekly founded near the 19th century’s close to become one of the nation’s largest college newspapers, and one of the very few that are entirely student-operated. Though a portion of The Daily’s funding comes from a fee assessed to all students on campus taking classes full-time, the majority of its publishing costs are covered by selling advertisements.

See what Satori Photography has to offer!
“Satori” ( sä-tôr′ē ):
Meaning, “instant awakening”, is stated to be a direct experience of intuitive enlightenment or illumination.
“Photography” (fə-tŏg’rə-fē):
Derived from the Greek words phos (“light”), and graphi (“paintbrush”), together meaning “drawing with light”
Put those together… Satori + Photography= Our philosophy 
To us, ”instant awakenings” are those “Ah-ha” moments… when you get a glimpse of enlightenment or awareness… you feel awake, alive, & humbled for the important things in life!
As photographers and artists we are aware that time is an illusion which quickly goes by in the blink of an eye. But with the click of the camera we are able to freeze those precious moments for people to cherish forever.
We thrive off others’ characters and are passionate about capturing authentic expression. Photography has its own language, it speaks for itself. No words can describe how drawing with light can capture a throaty chuckle that you can actually hear, an emotion you can truly feel or the precious innocence of a child in their own element.
We believe in investing in the now; by investing in the now…in the present, you are also investing in the future… as well as your past. We care about giving you and your loved ones a gift that lasts a lifetime… and then some!
We are honored that you have considered us to be a part of capturing your monumental life moments.
