Banner Posting and Digital Screens

There are many creative ways to advertise your event around campus and within the community. Brochures, posters, fliers, digital ads, social media graphics and more can help get your point across. Please make sure to try and approximate the suggestions throughout this style guide.

General Guidelines

For event banners (bridge between buildings 17 & 18) and club/program materials (building 9) on campus:

Posting of Banners

Bring your banner to the Marketing Department (Building 5, Room 229) for banner review and approval.

• Once the banner is approved by the Marketing Department, Marketing will work with Campus Facilities to schedule a date to install the banner.
• When the banner is ready for removal, Facilities will remove and return the banner to the club/program within two business days after the event date.

Posting of Printed Materials

All materials (posters, fliers, etc.) to be posted on campus must be approved and date-stamped by the Center for Student Life and Leadership Development. Please visit the Student Life page to get more information.

Main Entrance Display Banners

The Marketing Department coordinates with campus Facilities to arrange for banners to be displayed at the Main Entrance (Farm Hill Boulevard) of the campus. Please send requests to the Marketing Department at canmarketing@smccd.edu.

To Post A Banner

• The event must be a Cañada College event, hosted, coordinated, or sponsored by a college division, program, or organization.
• All banners are required to be reviewed and approved by the Marketing Department before being displayed.
• All banners posted at the main entrance/Farm Hill Blvd and Cañada Road/West entrance require Facilities overtime to install and remove.
• The cost to install is dependent on the availability of facilities members as well as individual rates. The rates are based on a banner install from Monday to Friday. The installation and removal for each posting of a banner located at either the West Entry or Farm Hill Entry is anywhere from $264.00 - $332.00. Rates are subject to change. 

Requirements

• Banners must be double-sided, in good condition and cannot have tape, or other corrective materials, on it.
• Include the event name, date and contact (website or phone number for more information).
• Banners need to be a dimension of at least 2 feet x 12 feet (suggested size: 3 feet x 12 feet) with grommets around at least all four corners (extra grommets along every 2 feet and slits for wind, is recommended).
• One banner will be displayed at a time for no more than 5 days. Please place your request at least 2-3 weeks before desired posting date to ensure availability. 

The college is not responsible for damaged banners, including damage due to inclement weather. If you need assistance from the Marketing Department to design a banner, please complete the Marketing Assistance Request Form. A lead time of 2-3 weeks before the desired posting date is preferred.
