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 the Wall. On the Wall 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.
The brighter coloured tiles are 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.
Choose your tile by either clicking on the tile you want, or entering your favourite number in the "Jump to a tile"
field. After you do that, a small window will popup with a link that says 'This tile is available. Buy now!', and an
'Add to Cart' button. 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.
To continue your purchase you can either add this tile to your cart, then continue shopping for more tiles, or click
the buy link / proceed to checkout, 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 sponsor your tile as either an individual, business or pledge.
Our business tiles and pledge tiles cost more than 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!
If you make a pledge to purchase tiles, the value of your tiles has to be above a minimum amount ($550) but you have the flexibility of
just paying a deposit now and the balance of your tile's purchase value when we need the money to buy the land and
save McAdam Park.
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. The name you type in will automatically appear in the tile box
below. You can overwrite this on the tile itself if you would like to have a nickname, or family name appear on the
tile.
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 click one of the 2 payment buttons at the
bottom of the screen.
Clicking the "Pay by Paypal or credit card" button will take you to a Paypal screen. PayPal does our credit card
processing for us, all your credit card details are stored on their secure servers.
Clicking the alternative "Pay by cheque / money order" button takes you to a PDF version order form. 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'.
NOTE; Clicking either of the payment button locks in your tiles, even if you back out of the payment.

My Tile Is Awaiting Approval
If you have purchased a tile and then when you hover over your tile you see a message saying
'This tile is awaiting approval' then don't worry. If you have paid by credit card then once
your payment clears PayPal will notify us, this is usually almost instantaneous but can
sometimes take up to a couple of days. Alternatively, if you've paid by cheque then we'll wait for your
cheque to arrive in the mail.
As soon as we receive notification of your payment
being approved or we receive your cheque 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 more 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!
