Hey folks :) I got the rollup-display. You can see it in action here: http://people.gnome.org/~tobiasmue/blog/2012-LinuxTag/20120524_001.jpg I think it looks very good and I like it. As it's too big for the EventBoxes, I'll take it with me. If you need the rollup-display, please contact me. FTR: The new rollup-display turned out to cost 64 Euro incl. VAT and shipping and took ~10 days to arrive. Cheers, Tobi -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Cheers, Tobi In the U.S. I've gotten 4 foot x 8 foot banner for less $45 USD which would be less than 52 Euro. :-) bannersonthecheap.com They do nice work, quick and cheap delivery. Ordering in bulk obviously brings the price down. At openSUSE, we decided it was far more economical to simply print a bunch of these banners and ship them regionally and let the ambassadors keep them. Ship-and-keep. We replace upon request or if we've updated the banner artwork. A 4x8 banner is a bit awkward to transport if you are traveling. No problem if you just throw it in the trunk of your car though. :-) I had to hunt around and came up with a solution for transporting when I travel. I found a 50-inch fishing-pole bag on Amazon and I found a 48-inch mailing tube. I put the banner inside the tube and then put the tube inside the bag for easy checkin on the plane. This keeps the banner from getting smashed around inside the soft-sided fishing pole bag. This, of course, could be problematic depending on what airline you use if they only allow you one checked bag. Fortunately the airline I frequently use allows two checked bags. Shipping with the mailing tube also works. It's a very durable tube for about $10. Easy to re-label and ship to another location. The gotcha is in deciding how you're going to hang the banners. I have my own set of banner stands and put them in my LARGE suitcase. I use a muselin stand instead of a bonafide banner stand because it is extremely cheaper and then simply use ties to hold the banner. I believe I paid about $35 for my muselin stand on Amazon and it accommodates up to 10 feet wide. The 4x8 banner creates a full backdrop that usually covers the full width of a typical table booth. I also print our posters on these vinyl banners. A 2 foot x 3 foot vinyl banner runs about $12 USD. Thus re-usable and no worries about torn paper posters. And you can easily roll up the small banners inside the larger banner for one easy carry-around. The above works well for me and I've been to several events in the last month carrying this around with me, even when I have to use my white cane to walk around. The bag is large enough to sling on your back. Very doable, lightweight, effective and attracts a lot of traffic at events compared to other booths. Another alternative I have thought about. If carrying around a 4 foot rolled up banner is a problem, you can also order smaller banners that function like panels. Hang them vertically to create a 2 or 3 panel display. Yet when rolled up, can fit into a smaller bag, albeit thicker. (Smaller bags are way easier to find.) Hope that helps!

Ideally, until next week or so, so that we might even be able to get the thing for LinuxTag. This is a nice layout. However, can be problematic depending on the way your booth is set up. If the banner is set up in the back of the booth, people are less likely to see the critical information at the bottom www.gnome.org. Less of a problem if you place this vertical banner at the front of the booth (although high potential for people knocking it over.) My suggestion is to come up with a horizontal-designed banner rather than a vertical one. Of course, proper selection is greatly impacted by the actual venue itself.
