ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY
CHOOSE CHALK? |
 |
First and foremost……….it is inexpensive! A custom chalkmenu board is comparible in price to a standard vinyl sign, and significantly less than back lit and illuminated signs.
You may have noticed that many restaurants, café’s, bakeries, pubs, markets, cafeterias and bistros are now using chalkboards to display their menus. Chalkboards are a unique and colourful way to add warmth and originality to your establishment. They are a work of art in and of itself! Every chalkboard ordered is custom designed to suit your business, so each one is unique. The rich, warm graphics and lettering draw the eye, drawing customers into your shop, and can promote sales and special itmes. You can use chalk signage to promote high margin items, specials or new products. You will notice chalk signage generously adds to the atmosphere of your establishment.
Our chalkboards are completely handcrafted, cut to any size or shape. If you already have a board, or are changing your menu, we can spruce up your current board and create a fresh look using the board you already have!
Chalkboard Signs are an affordable way to help increase sales, promote specials and highlight high-margin items while enhancing the creativity of your decor. With a little colourful chalk and an explosive design, you could have a menu board that will draw in the crowds and give your establishment that little boost you've been looking for!
DOES
IT RUB OFF?
|
|
No! Generally chalkboard signs are hung in areas that are
far enough away from the “smudge zone” that there
is no risk of it the lettering being rubbed off. However,
we can seal the board with a water-resistant sealant to ease
your mind! Keep in mind however that this will prevent any
quick and easy changes and updates that you may want access
to.
As for changing your board….sometimes you need to change
a price or have an area where you want to write in the daily
specials. Another option is a chalkboard plaque. The plaque
is an adhesive "mini" chalkboard, which adheres
to the board using Velcro or screws to make it very easy to
remove and write in daily specials, soups, seasonal specials
or quotes. The plaque creates a three-dimensional beveled
appearance.
ARE
CHALKBOARDS EASY TO READ? |
|
The headings, lettering and artwork are carefully designed
for quick legibility. You want your board to be eye-catching
in a way that will help the customer find what they are looking
for.
HOW
LONG DOES IT TAKE? |
|
Once all the required information is collected, and a BASIC
sketch approved by you-your board will be complete in 1.5
to 2 weeks.
CAN
THE BOARD INCLUDE MY LOGO? |
|
Absolutely! The board will be precisely designed to match
your décor and add to the inviting atmosphere of your
business. Not only is it a menu, but a work of art as well.
We can include your business logo on the board if you choose,
or other logos such as the logo for the brand of coffee you
serve.
