Why a club might use this
Residents receive concise, readable local information in trusted physical settings, including a non-digital way to respond.
Use it when
People passing through community venues, workplaces, libraries, campuses, transport-adjacent spaces and event sites. Use when priority audiences regularly use identifiable venues where posters are permitted and likely to be noticed.
Before the club starts
A placement register with written owner approval, display dates, size, mounting method and removal owner.
Production-ready artwork using approved marks, contrast, hierarchy, plain language and minimum readable type.
A tested short link, QR destination and printed phone or email fallback with lifecycle ownership.

Controls and safeguards
Printed electoral matter may require a clear authorisation statement; assess content, timing, publisher and jurisdiction before print, not after placement.
Never imitate government, election, emergency or partner branding, and obtain explicit permission for all marks, photographs and sites.
HIGH - unlawful placement, missing authorisation, inaccessible design, stale links or distorted brand assets can make a simple poster a release defect.
What to measure
Authorised placements installed as specified
Follow-up: Check live destinations weekly, respond through the published channel, and close the campaign by reconciling every item in the placement register rather than assuming venues removed it.
