Tell Us About You and RobertsCamera.com

Q: Tell us about yourself.

A: Roberts Camera was started in 1957 by my grandparents, Bob and Rose Pallman. Over the last 45 years, my dad has grown our business from a small mom-and-pop catalog showroom to a specialty e-commerce business. My husband and I have been involved with the business since 2011 and have helped to propel our brand in new directions like used camera gear with our sister company, UsedPhotoPro. Our industry continues to see a significant amount of change and we are always looking to evolve what we do and how we can best serve our customers in this changing landscape. We are so proud to be a third-generation, locally owned and operated, retail and eCommerce photo specialty store based in Indianapolis, Indiana.

We also offer classes, a rental department, and a photo lab that still develops film! Our mission is to 'keep photography available to everyone.' We have become a national brand and are fortunate to work with photographers all over the country and internationally as well. We have a great e-commerce presence and you can find us at robertscamera.com, usedphotopro.com, and on eBay and Amazon!

A: Why buy from Roberts and UsedPhotoPro? We have an entire web page dedicated to that question: https://robertscamera.com/why-choose-us Most importantly, you are important to us. We are a small business, but we believe that lets us care more! In a world of automation, we are a human voice you can't find elsewhere.

Q: How do you successfully market your business?

A: Because we have both a retail and e-commerce presence, we market our business in multiple ways. We use things like Google Adwords, email marketing, social media, and affiliate programs to reach customers online. For our local retail store, we still utilize some traditional advertising like television and radio in addition to social media. We are also an integral part of our community and try to participate in as many community events as we can like photo contests, sponsorships, and more!

A: We see success in many different avenues, but I think social media and building our online reputation have been one of our most successful avenues.
