To further highlight the Canon MAXIFY brand of printers, Canon U.S.A., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the MAXIFY Influencers Program has been expanded to include a mentor program designed to help small businesses navigate the treacherous waters of starting and building a business. Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran, along with Ivana Taylor from DIY Marketers, will be joined this year by three new mentors: Social Media Power Influencer and writer Brett Relander, USA Today columnist and author Rhonda Abrams, and software entrepreneur and blogger, Tim Berry. The program will include content created by these mentors and shared on social networks aimed at helping entrepreneurs and small business owners learn from successful small business owners.
Additionally, a contest will choose one (1) Grand Prize Winner to receive a one-on-one coaching session with Barbara Corcoran in New York City. The day will also be filmed and will appear in a Canon-sponsored YouTube video short featuring the winner's small business. Seven (7) runners up will each receive MAXIFY prize packages, including a MAXIFY printer MB5320, a $250 Gift Card to use on Canon Direct, an iPad mini, a free 1-year subscription to LegalZoom, a free 1-year subscription to LifeLock and an Intuit Mobile Credit Card Reader. The contest runs now through August 31, 2015.
