The Wall Tile Pricing
Once all the tiles are sold on the 'Big Picture' wall, the wall will actually be built. It will be 3 metres
high by 16.7 metres long, that's a big wall! It will be constructed on a low base to keep the bottom tile owners
out of the dirt and mud so that they can be easily seen.
Now, if you take a look at the picture below you can see our man there who has wandered over to the wall for a
look. See that band of tiles that are right in front of his eyes? They're the primo tiles and they're priced
accordingly.
The wall will hopefully stand for many years as a testament to all the people and businesses who helped save
Barrabool and preserved a precious piece of our sport's heritage. But why stop at one tile? The more tiles you buy
the more people will see! And remember, if you're a business, your tiles are sponsorship and are tax deductible, so if you spend a couple of dollars more you
can have your name or business right there front and center for everyone to see!

How To Purchase A Tile
On the 'Big Picture' Wall main screen you will see that the wall is divided into 5 sections,
above the wall you will see what number tiles are in what area.
If you would like to purchase say, Tile #4225, then click Area 3. The area screen has a lot
of things going on behind the scenes so it may take a few moments to load, please be
patient.
Once the area screen has loaded you will see some tiles that are various colours, by looking
at the legend below the screen picture you can see what the tile colours mean. A tile
without a colour over the top means it's sold, a grey mask means the tile is available, a
pastel pink means the tile is reserved. The mask colour may appear slightly different in
shade according to what colour the tile is underneath.
Once the area screen has loaded it's as simple as clicking on the tile you would like to
purchase, once you click a small window will popup with a link that says 'This tile is
available. Buy now!'. If the tile you've selected is already sold or reserved the popup
window will tell you and there won't be a buy link in the window.
Click the buy link and you'll be taken to the purchase page, there are 4 sections, we'll explain them one at a time.
- Here you can decide whether you want to buy your tile as either an individual or as a
business. Our business tiles cost twice the amount of a personal tile but for good reason.
If you purchase a business tile you have the facility to write a short blurb about your
business, upload your company logo if you have one and also include a link to your company's
website! Your business and logo will be featured on our Business Sponsors page and will also
feature in our list of Business Sponsors on the Big Picture Wall main page.
When a visitor is looking at your area of the wall as they move their
mouse cursor over your tile a hover window will appear with your business name in it, if
they click your tile your blurb, logo and website link appear in the popup window when,
information about your business will be there for everyone to see, no matter where in the world they
come from!
When the physical wall is built your business name will be on your tile.
If you purchase your tile as an individual then you have two text fields to put in your name
which will appear in the hover window when someone mouses over your tile and also in the
popup window if they click your tile. Your name will also be on your tile when the wall is
built.
- Here you fill out your customer information, name, email address, country etc. If you are
purchasing a business tile then you put your company name in here also.
Please also take a moment to pick an option from the 'SMCC Member?' list.
- Now you can input exactly what you would like to appear on your tile, in your hover window etc.
usually your name or business name.
If purchasing as a business it's here that you would write your short description of what
your business does and what you have to offer a potential customer. You can also upload
your company logo and fill in your website's address.
- OK, have a quick look at the Terms and Conditions, check the box and proceed to checkout!
You will then proceed to the checkout area, PayPal does our credit card processing for us,
all your credit card details are stored on their secure servers.
Note. If you would like to pay for your tile by cheque then just fill out your purchase
details, print the page off and mail it with your cheque to Sporting MC Club, PO Box 447,
Geelong, Victoria, 3220. Please make cheques payable to 'Saving Barrabool Fund'.

sometimes take up to a couple of days.
As soon as we receive notification of your payment
being approved we'll update your tile status to sold, then you will see your details when
you hover over or click your tile.

Advertise On The Big Picture Wall
Why sponsor a business tile? If you sponsor a business tile for twice the standard rates of a
personal tile you get to advertise your business for everyone to see and also receive some extra benefits.
As a visitor hovers their mouse pointer over your tile your business name is displayed in
the tooltip that pops up, so the tiles you sponsor the more obvious you are on the Wall!
You can buy a block of tiles or spread them over the Wall in the different areas.
If they click your tile then a window opens with your business
name, your logo, a short description of what your business does or has to offer and a link
to your website if you have one.
You also get to have your logo or business name displayed on the main page of the Big
Picture Wall site, again your logo or business name can be a clickable link to your
website.
Once all the tiles on the Big Picture Wall are sold then the actual physical wall will be
built, your tile will have your business name engraved on it.
So for a few dollars more you not only get to advertise your business online on the Big
Picture Wall, you also get your name on your physical tile forever!
