I don't want to come off as condescending but it's perhaps the easiest thing you can do on photoshop for promotions. You can also mess with the brightness/contrast to get the lines to your liking and maybe getting rid of some pesky sketch lines or random grey. The main thing is coloring the right parts and staying within the lines, which will usually require zooming quite a bit for precision. Also be sure to pick the appropriate colors.
At the very least putting down some flat colors is a good start and I encourage anyone with Photoshop or Gimp to try it out, especially the ones making requests.
There's also working on shading and highlighting, which takes a bit of practicing and figuring where the lighting would be and how it would interact with the subjects. What you'd want to do is create a new layer over the part of the picture you want to shade and then hold Ctrl and click on the smaller thumbnail of your canvas pictured just left of the layer's name in your Layer's box.
That will select only the part of the picture so you can shade over it. Use a darker tone of the color and drop your brush's Hardness down to 0% and increase the size of the brush. The brush will spread the color out and only concentrate on the very middle of the brush's cursor, creating softer transitions from the flat color to its shadows.
There's also plenty of Photoshop coloring tutorials that everyone should take a look at.
