Conference kit for hosting a Plone booth

Reply Threaded More More options
Print post

There have been discussions on the Plone marketing committee list and
elsewhere about putting together a conference kit that includes:

- banner with Plone logo
- brochures and "15 Questions about Plone" FAQ
- swag (t-shirts, stickers, books)
- screencasts (to loop on video display)

We have a number of upcoming conferences at which Plone will have a
booth, and it would be great to have a "conference kit" ready that
explains how to obtain these materials.

- NTEN - http://nten.org/ntc
- Internet World
- CMS - http://www.cmsexpo.net/

Who would like to help put together this conference kit? In
particular, we need to find out whether it makes sense to purchase
some vinyl/canvas banners and ship them around the country, or
print-on-demand for each conference.

thanks,
Nate

I believe Gabrielle has some estimates for printing banners if someone
wants to contact her directly before calling around.
Also I think some people were working on the 15 questions FAQ during
Tune Up day last Friday...?

Nate,

It seems to me that the 15 Questions About Plone is key to a  
consistent message across all events and from all Plone  
representatives. I suggested a mini sprint tomorrow at 12pm to  
finalize the document but have not heard from anybody. This is really  
not something I should be doing by myself as it is supposed to be a  
collection of core messages upon which to build other marketing pieces.
Any idea?

Thank you,
Gabrielle

If you can store things I won't print on demand put print a reasonable  
amount of copies to have them at hand if required. The price for a  
copy shrinks heavily if you print more copies in one process.

Our experience in Germany is that people order marketing material very  
shortly before the event so that printing on demand might be no option  
at all.

GHP: I totally agree with you, Jan. I think we need to have 3-4  
inventory places all over the world to reap the benefits of  
efficiency, fast turnaround and economies of scale.

Does someone who's printed banners before know what the expected costs
are to print a banner with the Plone logo suitable for hanging up at a
conference booth?

I agree that if it's less expensive to print several at the same time,
we should print several so we have them on hand and can easily ship
them (more lightweight than vinyl or canvas) in a tube if for example
there are two conferences happening at the same time.

thanks,
Nate

We have actually done a banner with them for Six Feet Up and were  
really pleased with the result. People who came to the DC party may  
remember it ;-)

Thank you,

I have a banner 50cmx180cm with current blue Plone logo on white thick
foil. http://www.flickr.com/photos/yenzenz/3042633417/

It cost here at a local print-company 43 Euros.

And just a friendly reminder that the final version of the logo pack is  
up, so make sure you use the files there, and the revised Pantone/web  
color specification if you do any branding materials for Plone:

http://plone.org/foundation/logo

Thanks to Jola Hyjek for her tireless efforts in finalizing this!

I just heard about this service which seems pretty reasonably priced for printing full-size posters. http://www.fullsizeposters.com/

You simply upload an image file and they print and ship the poster to you.

it was just an idea that instead of getting a banner, we could make a poster. i think you can request printing on a variety of dimensions of paper. so maybe they would print it in a banner orientation as well.
