CANON GEARS UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS
By Adnews Staff
Canon Canada of Mississauga, Ont. is getting ready for the Christmas rush. The company launched five consumer promotions earlier this month to promote its EOS cameras and its camcorders. Under one deal, consumers who buy a selected EOS series camera and EF lens will receive a $100 rebate from Canon. Consumers who buy an EOS Rebel G or EOS Rebel G QD body with either an EF35-80 or EF28-80 will receive a gadget bag for free. For those wanting a closer view, Canon will give out a $10 rebate for customers who buy binoculars. Consumers who buy one of three Hi-8 camcorders will receive up to a $100 rebate and a free camcorder bag. There is also a promotion called Canon Camcorder Bonus Combo. Customers who purchase a selected camcorder will receive one of the combo offers for free. With the purchase of an ES20V, ES870, ES270 or ES170, customers will receive a free camcorder bag and an extra battery. If a consumer buys an ES970 or ES980, they will receive a free camcorder bag. The promotions, as well as all of Canon's point-and-shoot, digital cameras and camcorders, are being supported in a national print campaign created by Lackey Communications of Mississauga, Ont.
