An emailed proof of approval of services ordered must be obtained before content can be uploaded to begin rotation. Failure to approve before the set hang-up/upload date will result in a shorter display time.
Advertising Limits and Timeframes
If a customer would like to advertise for the same event for multiple weeks, please speak with the BluePrint staff about the available options. A charge will be assessed for any advertisement that is to be hung multiple times.
Interior and Exterior Banners
Only one interior and/or one exterior banner may be scheduled per event per group. Banners may be displayed for no longer than seven consecutive days within a four-week period of time without prior approval from BluePrint management.
Reservations for banner locations can be made up to one year in advance; however, the banner space is not reserved until an order has been completed.
All necessary information for designs must be given at least seven business days in advance of hang/pickup date in order to avoid rush-processing fees. Rush processing fees are added to the order cost as follows: 14% per day less than seven business days.
T-stands
A maximum of two t-stand locations may be scheduled, per event per group. T-stands may be reserved for no longer than seven consecutive days within a four-week period of time without prior approval from BluePrint management.
Digital Ads
An organization can secure an unlimited amount of advertisements per week.
An advertisement space cannot have more than 40% of the background red in color, as red is reserved for emergency communication only.
If a client cancels their advertisement space within seven business days of the display date, he or she will be charged a $15 cancellation fee. If design work and/or printing has been completed, the client will be still be charged for it in addition to the cancellation fee.
