A-Frame Sidewalk Menu Boards Give Businesses More Than An Outside Shot at Success

At first glance, chalkboards and warm weather don’t seem to go together, unless you’re one of the chosen few extending your education in a summer school classroom. But if you’re a business owner, warm weather brings more people outside and increases traffic outside your restaurant or shop. You need a low maintenance, attention-getting billboard that can appeal to the masses and help you tap into a significant potential market. A-Frame Sidewalk Café Menu Boards provide a portable, affordable option that can bring in business from every direction.

Here are a few features that make A-Frame Sidewalk Café Menu Boards an ideal fit for your business:

• They’re double-sided, so pedestrians walking by from both sides can view your specials and featured items.
• The durable A-frame design folds up easily for space-saving storage and folds out for a steady, stable display.
• They come in 3 models, including a chalkboard with a convenient “Today’s Special” graphic printed across the top that won’t wash off when it rains.
• Cardboard signs last for a day or two until you throw them away. With a chalkboard, you can write and erase messages as many times as you want.

But don’t mistake your A-Frame Sidewalk Café Menu Board for a fair-weather companion, because it can serve you just as well in a mall or on a showroom floor any time of year. So pick one up today and make direct marketing a truly up close and personal proposition.

Quartet Portable IdeaShare System Makes Ordinary Whiteboards Extraordinary

Last week, we highlighted Quartet IdeaShare Electronic Whiteboards as part of the next generation of PC-compatible communication stations. But if you already own a traditional whiteboard, how do you stay on top of the new technology without buying a whole new board?

Quartet’s Portable IdeaShare Whiteboard System features a compact, lightweight receiver that fits inconspicuously on the corner of your dry erase surface and won’t get in the way when you write. In addition, the set includes multiple mounting systems, electronic pens, markers, stylus, erasers, and pretty much everything else you need to write and present your ideas digitally. You can save everything you write to your computer, print it, and share it over the web. In addition, you can convert your whiteboard into a touch-sensitive screen and make computer-based presentations straight from the board.

Bottom line, the Quartet Portable IdeaShare proves that there’s more to your ordinary whiteboard than you might think. Pick up one today and help your dry erase writing surface realize its full potential.

Quartet IdeaShare Electronic Whiteboard Provides A Glimpse Into the Future

Google “whiteboards” and you’re more and more likely to find links to a new generation of computer-compatible boards like the Quartet IdeaShare. This new technology enables you to do a couple key things you can’t do with a traditional markerboard:

• Save what you’ve already written on your board to your computer so you can erase and write something new with a clear conscience
• Share your ideas word for word with colleagues across the country and around the globe via PDA, printout, or live web meeting

As a result, you can document all your presentations and streams of consciousness for future reference. And as corporations expand and go global, an electronic board like the Quartet IdeaShare presents the perfect way for you to bridge the physical gap between employees in different offices.

Evolution can take place in babysteps, then suddenly advance in leaps and bounds. It took time for people to switch from chalkboards to whiteboards, and now we’re experiencing the next step in mass visual communication. Try out a Quartet IdeaShare for yourself and take a glimpse into the future today.
