This is a great example of a chalkboard sign with art. Often we are asked to add the whole menu. Naturally when a chalkboard has allot of text you can’t read it as well. Custom art is a great way to break up the sign and make it very readable. Strong headings and artful images all add to the the sign’s attraction.
Our hand drawn chalkboard menu signs are perfect for your café, coffee shop, pub, ice cream parlour, hair salon and so much more. Our chalkboard process remove the stress of designing a menu or sign from your shoulders and lets us enjoy what we do best – making great chalkboard menus and signs!
A Chalkboard sign with art is a great way to attract customers
Signage is the most important and affordable business expense but it is often put at the bottom of the list. When referring to the cost effectiveness of signage in the article How On-Premise Signs Help Small Businesses Tap Into a Hidden Profit Center (A handbook developed by The NewYork State Small Business Development Center Albany, NewYork), here is what the author discovered:
Since 1997, a California sign company has helped 488 independent small businesses measure readership. Each of the businesses surveyed 15 to 30 first-time customers to determine what prompted their visit. In all, the businesses surveyed 7,203 first-time customers, each within 30 to 45 days after the installation of a new sign. One of the survey questions was, “How did you learn about us?”Here’s how they responded:
Your sign: 46% (3311)
Word of mouth: 38% (2708)
Newspaper advertisement: 7% (511)
Yellow Pages: 6% (450)
Radio commercial: 2% (133)
Television commercial: 1% (90)
Signtronix Survey, 2003.
The results clearly demonstrate two things: (1) the signs were effectively speaking to (or being read by) potential customers; and (2) signs are the most effective form of advertising for the small independent merchant.
