Whether you’re just getting started with cocktails or have been looking to update your pavement board or table chalkboards for a while, sometimes it pays to be light-hearted.
Check out the fun these bar owners have had with their
advertising boards and see whether you get any ideas for your next great board.
With a range of chalkboards, brightly coloured liquid chalk pens and board cleaner available, grab everything you need to bring a smile to people’s faces
and more customers through your doors.
1. The Grammar Brag
Does your business have a lot going for it? Sometimes just laying it all out there is a great way to grab people's attention, particularly if your outside space or beer garden isn't easy to spot.Spot the errant #apostrophe on this pub blackboard. pic.twitter.com/8vykQABNWm— Apostroph3Woman (@Apostroph3Woman) December 8, 2016
Just remember, eagle-eyed customers will spot any grammatical errors!
2. Let the staff have their say!
Your staff know what people want from your business and they know what your selling points are. Unfortunately... they may be a bit optimistic about their own value as a marketing tool!When you let the bar staff write the silly blackboard slogan of the day.... pic.twitter.com/c3f2hdDc2I— The Old Nun (@theoldnunshead) April 22, 2017
Once customers stop oggling the staff, draw their eyes to your specials boards and drinks offers with super bright liquid chalk pens.
3. Build some interaction
Silly though it seems, the fact potential customers have to interact with this nifty sandwich board means they're already considering and thinking about the business behind it. It's a great way to get passers-by talking about your establishment.I love the Zool Zool (Ramen & Bar) blackboard sign in Mt Eden Village. pic.twitter.com/0IoBgtnIry— Love Dominion Road (@lovedominionrd) February 21, 2017
4. Time to translate
— CoffeeClick (@CoffeeClick_Ire) May 5, 2017Ok, people's culinary and drinking tastes are getting more refined, but nobody wants to feel intimidated by a menu. Breaking it down is a tongue-in-cheek way of showing that you don't take yourself too seriously and also helping make customers' ordering process quicker and easier. This could lead to bigger profits.
5. Get in their heads
It's not just outdoor blackboards which can transform your business, as they're also a great method of giving information to your customers inside your bar. Or, in this case, persuading them that they should purchase another drink.📷 Someone else shares my philosophy… (via funny-beer-sign-blackboard-empty.jpg (540×439)) https://t.co/9NBuji1r1G— Jason Popesku (@jpopesku) November 27, 2016
As such, blackboards can be used to make people laugh, but they're also vital marketing tools. Whether persuading people to pop into your business or helping you make easier and quicker sales, have some fun with blackboards and your business will benefit.
