Free-board local advertising network
A business supplies free chalkboards or whiteboards to restaurants and sells advertising along the bottom to local businesses.
The idea, in plain language
A free-board local advertising network provides restaurants with free chalkboards or whiteboards and sells advertising space along the bottom to local businesses. Restaurants gain free signage while advertisers pay for recurring local exposure, creating a placement-based out-of-home advertising business. The featured operator has placed more than 200 boards, with each generating about $3,000 annually, using advertiser pricing, repeated placements, and referrals; no startup-cost or margin figures are given.
Where the sources agree
- Restaurants receive free boards while local advertisers pay for the advertising strip.
- The network expands through repeated placements and referrals.
- Each placed board generates about $3,000 annually in the featured model.
- The approach relies on identifying restaurant locations and selling recurring local-business advertising.
