As most Fortune 500 companies will tell you, they spend more money on implementation and the problems that implementation causes than they do on the solution itself.INSIDE OUT VS. OUTSIDE INLet's take a look at what ‘buy-in' has meant – until now.Buy-in is sought when an adjustment – often for logical, necessary, or profitable reasons - is required within the status quo.

Raising your Profile - Postering
One great way to raise the profile of your club and promote your events is postering. There are two main steps to carrying this task out.1. Preparing the posterA) Creating: Make sure the poster is not too small for people to easily see and read the basic info as they pass by. 8.5 x 11” (normal printer paper size) is a good smallest size as a guideline. If you are just photocopying the poster at any copy store you will just want to make it on plain white paper since that is what it will be copied on anyhow.These days, posters are usually made electronically on computers using pre-made graphics, images and fonts or one’s created by the maker of the poster using a computer. This doesn’t necessarily mean you must abandon old school techniques like drawing your poster by hand if you have someone particularly artistic in your club. Just make sure it is dark enough to photocopy properly.Make sure that the poste

If you own a popup display, your graphics will be produced as “mural strips” (more information is provided below). If you own a modular exhibit with many customizable features, your graphic will most likely be produced as “dye-sub fabric” (more information is provided below).The graphics you purchase should always be the centerpiece of your display. No matter how technologically advanced or durable your booth is, if the graphics are poorly conceived and poorly designed, your trade show exhibit will probably be a flop at your next show. Well designed booth graphics can turn a mediocre display into a big hit.Mural StripsMural Strips are the cornerstone of any popup display you purchase.
