Football schedules obviously let you know when your team is playing an away game or home game, but they do much more than that. Usually on an 18 x 24 or 18 x 36 format, these posters can not only provide a visible schedule for games, but can also provide a little bit of income for the creator ?¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ‚Äö?Ñ?? definitely enough to pay for the poster itself. Depending on the locality of the team, most communities support their local school?¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ‚Äö?묢s athletic departments, especially if they have children enrolled at the school.So how can a school or community get a football schedule printing for free? Easy, you sell ads. You?¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ‚Äö?묢ve seen them, and probably used them before. It?¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ‚Äö?묢s almost always a common layout as well. At the top there is usually a large picture of the football team, baseball team, basket team, etc. Below that it will usually tell the team?¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ‚Äö?묢s schedule for that season and possibly the players?¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ‚Äö?묢 names and coaches. Below that will be a slew of small advertisements, collected from various local businesses. This is a good way to cover the cost of printing and also promote the sports team. Usually the ads will be a standard size, maybe 2?¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ¬¨?? square, and for a little more money they could get a bigger one. The ads will have multi-tiered pricing and sizes for supporters that want a little more exposure. Usually there will be a few larger ads in the center or top that would be from the largest donor. Another way to gain a little income from these posters would be to sell the posters themselves. You may want to give these away and encourage store owners to hang them in their windows.

Anyone who is interested in high school sports will be somewhat familiar with the format and be instantly drawn towards it to see a schedule of games. Places like hardware stores, pizza parlors, coffee shops, donut shops, drug stores or other small retail shops will more than likely be very excited to be a part of promoting a local sports team. Short run digital printing can dramatically reduce printing costs on projects like these.
