Poster Refresh
Important Notes on uploading new Posters
Posters can be updated once a month at roughly thirty day intervals
Poster update timing will spread the updates across the month. If your poster is
updated on the 15th of May, the next version will be shown on the 15 th of June
(approximate, plus or minus four days).
You can send a set of Posters in advance and we will change to the next one
each month. Once the last Poster in the set has been shown the following month
will rotate to the first poster in the set unless we are instructed otherwise. For
example, a set of two Posters will show on alternate months.
