Disposable cameras make a great addition to any big event such as a wedding or corporate party. They are also wonderful for out of town visits where you don't want to lug your personal or professional camera and put it at risk of being lost or damaged. Offering them at your place of business can also mean an added value to your service or the potential for profit if you plan to resell them.
As an event planner, a wedding planner, a wedding vendor or a travel agent, having the inside scoop on where to find disposable cameras wholesale and inexpensively is key, though.
If you are looking to purchase or resell disposable cameras, ask yourself the following:
1. Are you looking to have plain or themed outside packaged cameras?
2. Are you planning to offer waterproof cameras?
3. Are you interested in purchasing or being the conduit to disposable cameras with corporate logos?
4. Does the pricing offer you an opportunity to mark up the product enough to make a profit?

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- If you plan to resell them, purchase your disposable cameras in bulk or create a well put together display booklet of the cameras that you can custom order. Selling products like this is all in the display, so having a small binder of what you have available including photos of each can be helpful for your consumer to make an informed decision.
