4'h x 8'w feet
What material is the banner made from? Can they be hung inside or outside?

Coach FAQs
What is the average time it takes from start to finish for a fundraiser?
You can start your fundraiser the same day you sign up. We suggest giving your team at least a week to sell sponsorships. Once we have received your team photo and you are ready to end your fundraiser, we will email a design proof of your banner within a week (most commonly within 72 hours). After you have approved the banner design, you will receive your banner and check within 5-10 business days. This time frame includes both production of the banner and shipping.
Who secures the sponsors?
We provide you with all the promotional materials you need to spread the word about sponsorship opportunities, including a template email, sponsor flyer and sample social media post. All the promotional materials will direct sponsors to TeamUpBanners.com. At this point, sponsors will choose your team, identify the individual player they are sponsoring (optional) and pay their sponsorship fee.
Most coaches will ask all team members to sell at least one sponsorship. We have found selling one sponsorship is an attainable goal for each individual team member. Many coaches will also send a communication out to program supporters including former players, parents and engaged community members.
Are there a minimum number of sponsorships that must be sold?
The first $300 raised covers the banner design, print and shipping fee. Your team will receive 85% of all funds raised beyond the first $300. There is no minimum. Occasionally schools elect simply to purchase a team banner without raising any sponsorships.
How much will my team make by doing this fundraiser?
The first $300 raised covers the banner design, print and shipping fee. Some teams choose to use the Team Up platform to simply raise enough to receive a free team banner. Other teams choose to use our platform to raise thousands of dollars for their program.
Summary:
First $300 covers the banner, your team receives 85% of all funds raised beyond the first $300. Sponsors can choose from a $300 large logo sponsorship, $200 medium size logo sponsorship or $100 Patron sponsorship (name listed on banner).

What type of file and what resolution does the team picture need to be?
Accepted file types:
JPEG (high resolution), PNG, AI, EPS, TIF (high resolution), PDF
Camera Setup (to ensure highest quality banners):
Select the largest file size on camera.
Photograph the team in front of a solid colored (preferably light ex. white) clean background (ex. a wall) or if you prefer you can pick a background you would like us to use in the design (ex. home stadium or gym).
Make sure the light source is in front of the team as opposed to behind.
Use as much available space as possible on the team (avoid excessive background).
Sending Us Your Photos:
A mistake that often happens with photos is that someone will take the team photo on their phone, text it to the coach, and then the coach will email it to us. When a photo is sent at any point via a text, it is compressed and the image quality is greatly reduced. For best results, email us the original photo at the largest size option available. If it was texted to you first, you’ll need to request that it be emailed to you instead at the largest size and then share that one with us.
Is there an artwork design fee?
The first $300 raised covers banner design, print and shipping fees.
Can we include additional images/messaging on our banner other than the team photo?
Yes, we are more than happy to include team schedules, mantras, mascots, etc. Please be sure to include a message about this in the “additional information” text box when you sign up. Then email Support@TeamUpBanners.com with the files you would like us to use and your team photo.
