Unlike written with a pen, derived with chalk on a chalkboard is easily erased easily and without consequences. Thanks to this valuable property a slate message board has become so popular – the one can be used for drawing and making inscriptions with a conventional chalk.
What is a chalk board
Chalk is probably one of the most environmentally friendly stationaries: it's just calcium carbonate, completely harmless to nature and our health. It is easy to use chalk for drawing and writing on the pavement or on a rough wall. That is what a chalk board should be: its black rough surface, which is easy to clean with a cloth or a damp sponge, perfectly serves for writing short texts.
As a rule, a floor- or a wallboard for recording is made of multilayer plywood. Its surface is painted with a special graphite paint, which gives the board all the necessary properties.
There are different ways of installing such a board: it is usually hung on the wall. For this very purpose, we provide fasteners on the back side or a cord that can be hooked on a nail.
However, it is also very common to use an outdoor chalkboard (stander). It is usually installed in sales rooms or at events.
Chalk Board for home and other purposes: usage
In fact, the scope of this subject is quite extensive. Just think how practical it is to buy a chalkboard for your house. It can be used in the following situations:
- to leave a short message to your family members who are absent at the moment in the house, for example, " I'll be back by 20.00" or "Please walk the dog";
- in the kitchen, the chalkboard on the wall is best suited to keep the list of ingredients for cooking or a grocery list;
- while teaching your kids: writing letters, arithmetic operations, names of shades in the rainbow (you can use coloured crayons);
- a record board on the wall will come in handy if your baby is very fond of drawing. You only need to install it at the height that is comfortable for your child.
Inexpensive chalk board (the price for it starts from 349 UAH in our shop) can be useful not only in the house. As you know, marketing is the engine of commerce, and a stander is a popular mean of advertising. It can often be seen on the street or in a large shopping center with the following note:
- the entrance to the shop, cafe, travel agency;
- working hours;
- new offers;
- discounts and promotions.
In cafes and restaurants you will most certainly notice a menu chalkboard, which shows the current dishes and drinks. The chalk boards for restaurants can inform about new events.
Chalk stander: advantages
Why do people prefer to buy a chalk stander as an advertising platform? This is a logical explanation.
- Price. A chalkboard can be bought in Kyiv for only 300 UAH, and it will serve for a long time. This amount is incomparable with costs, for example, of a luminous sign or a city-light. At the same time, it is quite a bright object, bringing the message to passers-by.
- Information can be replaced easily. As it was said before, it is easy to erase the text from the board and write a new one. This allows each day to establish "daily specials" (if it is a chalkboard for a cafe) or actualize "last minute offers".
- Mobility. This quality is useful, of course, for points-of-sales, but it will especially come in handy to event agencies. After all, events such as seminars, presentations or weddings take place in various locations, and their organizers need to show their visitors the way to the cloakroom, auditorium, reception. In the end, the entrance to the room where the event takes place should also be indicated, so that people simply will not get lost.
