The Main Street Board
Free specials boards for busy local restaurants. Affordable ads for the businesses next door. Howard County, Maryland.
What we do
You know the specials board by the host stand, the one every customer reads while they wait for a table? We make a really nice one, and we give it to restaurants for free. The bottom of the board carries six small ads from local businesses. That's the whole thing.
For restaurants and coffee shops
- A professional 24x36 aluminum dry-erase board with your logo on top, free.
- Write your daily specials in liquid chalk, wipe it clean, do it again tomorrow.
- Comes with the stand and the markers. We replace markers when they run dry.
- All we ask is that you keep it somewhere your customers can see it for a year.
For local businesses who want the ad spots
- $600 for a full year on one board. That's about $1.50 a day in front of thousands of diners every month.
- $900 for a year on two boards if you want double the exposure.
- We design your ad for you and you approve it before anything prints. No design fees, no revisions bill.
- Coupon-style ads work best: an offer, your phone number, a QR code. We'll set that up.
- Paid once, up front, done. No monthly billing to babysit.
What else we offer
- Ad refreshes during the year if your offer or number changes.
- A placement photo when your board goes up, so you can share it on your own pages.
- Priority on new boards: current advertisers get first shot at spots in new locations before we call anyone else.
- For our advertisers who ask, we also build websites and set up systems that get you more Google reviews. Ask us when your board goes up.
