Host a Board (perfect for restaurants, coffee shops, cafes)

You get a free, custom-built board for your daily or weekly specials, events, and announcements. We design it around your space and you stay in full control over what goes on the top.

  • Custom-built for your entryway, host stand, or dining area. Can be free-standing (stand included at no cost) or mounted securely on a wall.

  • You control the specials section - update as often as you like.

  • We tell you upfront which advertiser categories we are considering and skip any you'd rather not see. We respect your space and the image you have worked hard to build!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost to advertise?

We believe local marketing should be accessible and completely transparent. Here is our zero-risk payment model...

Total Annual Fee: $600 for a full 12-month display term (less than $1.65 per day!).

  • Payment 1: $300 Upfront Initial Payment: secures and reserves your exclusive category spot immediately and covers our professional custom graphic design services.

  • Payment 2: $300 Final Payment: Only invoiced and due after (a) you have approved your final ad design mockup, AND (b) we have successfully secured all six local business advertisers for the board.

The Guarantee: The board is not produced or installed until all six advertisers are fully secured. In the highly unlikely event that we fail to secure all six sponsors, the board is not produced, and your initial payment is fully refunded.

Why would my business want to advertise on a specials board?

By advertising on a specials board, your business will be seen by hundreds of locals who dine every single day. The ads sit permanently at the bottom of the board, capturing undivided attention while customers order, wait, and socialize.

What type of businesses typically advertise on specials boards?

Countless types of businesses benefit from hyper-local, targeted advertising to increase their brand awareness. Some examples of successful advertisers include Realtors, Law Firms, Accountants, Insurance Agents, Electricians, Plumbers, House Cleaners, Auto Repair, Lawn Care, Landscapers, Tow Truck Companies, Chiropractors, Optometrists, Physical Therapists, Elder Care Providers, Financial Services, and dozens of other service-based businesses of all sizes.

Do I need to hire a professional to design my ad? What size is the ad? Is it full color?

The fee for annual advertising includes FREE design services! We will work with you to ensure your ad perfectly matches your brand identity. We can design an ad from scratch or build an ad based around other brand creatives you have. We will meet you where you are and work together until you are highly satisfied with the look, feel, and message of your advertisement. Of course, if you prefer to submit a ready-to-publish ad, we welcome that as well.

How can I track the impact of my ad?

Return on Investment (ROI) is a critical measure of the effectiveness of any marketing strategy. We can assist you in setting up tracking that does not increase friction for your customers. Options to consider include using a dedicated phone number, exclusive promo codes, or QR codes.

How do I know my ad won't be on the same board as a competitor?

We only accept ONE business per industry (i.e. one Realtor, one roofer, one auto repair shop, one law firm, etc...) per board. Once you secure your spot, your competitors are locked out of this board completely for the entire 12-month term!

We only place one board per location, so you never need to worry about your ad being placed next to a competitor!
