The election campaign has already been prepared, candidates have been found, the list of party candidates has been established, and initial ideas for the campaign have been developed. In public space, this activity is visible for about three months before the election with an increasing number of event posters, and in the last 6 weeks before the election, during the "hot campaign phase", with the partys portrait posters of candidates. At the latest, all the candidates are now assembling volunteer helpers, who install posters on panels and more or less coordinate the placarding.
Where are we hanging the poster again?
Anyone who has ever hung posters for an event or a campaign already knows the emerging problem: there are normally only a few good places, the posters may only be used one time and afterwards one wants to be able to find the posters again, because panels are expensive. In the hot campaign phase posters may be placed at more points, but it is easy to lose track and posters may also be damaged. Therefore, you want to send a message to the person hanging posters about where the broken posters are. Besides, you would also like to know reliably where your posters are hanging and where replacement posters may need to be installed. If your posters were mounted on your own panels, then you will want these back as well.
Professionals with posterboard are more clever
With this app, poster companies can prove to their customers that they have hung as many posters as they calculate. Your customers give easy, quick and reliable assignments to replace posters because you simply send the location of the damaged posters to the person repairing the posters. Different designs and clients can be planned in a time-saving and coordinated way in order to efficiently fill the poster teams.
Save time and money with posterboard!
Professionally hanging posters usually costs about 3 euros each. Those who coordinate volunteer helpers with posterboard therefore save money in their campaign budget. Poster carriers cost about 1.50 euro when you buy them new. This means lost posters have additional costs in the budget in the coming election campaign. So you save in advance!
Is posterboard profitable?
A large portion of local campaigns budgets is used on posters. Many campaigns have a budget for posters of perhaps 5,000 euros. If 1,000 posters are hung - which in a big city is not many - you can really save money through volunteer-driven and coordinated placarding! Through the low price and by only having one paid district manager, you also profit because the time you save by using paperboard is worth money.
