by Stu Leventhal
Photo Memes are engaging photos that have a short phrase typed over them to make the photo funny! Photograph Memes are cute sayings or jokes about a photo that make us laugh. People love photo memes because the images are eye catching all by them-selves then the added text plays off the words to add the power of a joke’s punch line!
Funny photo memes get shared via social media probably more than any other thing on social media. The question for marketers is how can a company leverage these popular funny memes to promote their products, brand names and messages?
The answer to using Funny Photo Memes for marketing purposes is not as simple or as easy as it seemingly should be. First a photo only has so much room for writing over it to create the laugh. Thus it is hard to print all the words needed to create the joke or laugh over top of a photograph without compromising the viewer’s view of the photo. This means the phrases of text have to be very brief, only a few words long and still create the laughter.
The challenge for marketers is how to add the funny text to a photo plus add some promotional copy without obscuring the photo or getting in the way of the joke. You must avoid turning the meme into an advertisement!
