The Pub Guide to Making the Most of Chalkboards

Marketing is a multi channel endeavour and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly, and marketing your pub can be a difficult challenge. Online advertising and/or local advertising; no matter what strategy you’re currently working on, it’s important that your pub looks presentable. This blog post is going to look at how you can make the most of chalkboards.

Mounted Chalkboards

Mounted chalkboards are a great tool for displaying menus, specials on offer and upcoming events. Not only does this allow you to display information about what you offer and improve your customer experience, but also allows you to use up wall space that would be otherwise blank.

Framed Chalkboards

Likewise to the mounted chalkboards, framed chalkboards operate in a similar fashion but come with the added benefits of being able to blend in to your current theme and style. Framed chalkboards are made to look like posters and can therefore be used in the same way.

Outdoor Chalkboards

Focusing too much on the inside of the inside of the pub could leave the outside looking neglected. Specialist outdoor chalkboards are able to withstand the weather and also entice new customers in. You can use outdoor chalkboards to cover large areas and advertise current special offers or upcoming events – but remember to make sure they’re up to date.
If you are interested in installing outdoor chalkboards, then be sure to invest in the correct pens to prevent the writing from being washed away in the rain.

Pavement A-Frames

If you’re pub is in an area where a lot of people walk by, an A-frame chalkboard could be the perfect way to entice customer in. In a particularly built up area, an outdoor chalkboard may be impractical and so an A-frame could be a great alternative – and a great way to advertise your business on the pavement. Alternatively, A-frame chalkboards can also be used indoors. If you have an entryway with a large open space, A-frame chalkboards are a great tool for displaying new additions to your menu, or other such news and offers.

Counter Top Chalkboards

It’s likely that you have menus on each table and this is the most practical way of allowing your customers to select what they want. As well as providing menus, counter top chalkboards are a great way to display your desserts menu, drinks offers, or special events that your customers can take advantage of. Due to their portability, counter top chalkboards can be used everywhere – including on the bar – and are easy to update to the most current event or offer.

Great for Pubs..

Chalkboards are a great tool for pubs to make the most of. They’re versatile, practical and work well with the style and theme of the business. Choosing which type of chalkboard bests suits your needs is the next step and you may find that a combination of the above styles is the best strategy for your particular business.
