No hosting charge. Placement is subject to location approval, advertiser funding, and a host agreement.

YOUR DAILY MESSAGE UP TOP. LOCAL BUSINESS CONNECTIONS BELOW.
A simple local partnership

A useful board.
A reason to stop and look.

Daily specials. A seasonal drink. A service promotion. An upcoming event. Give customers a clear, attractive place to see what you want them to know.

01 / MAKE IT YOURS

Your name. Your daily message.

The option to add your location’s name at the top, plus a generous writable area, keeps your business front and center. Black-glass designs bring a polished look and colorful writing to suitable indoor spaces.

02 / LOCAL ADS FUND IT

No charge to host.

Six local advertising spaces across the bottom fund the community board. We handle advertiser outreach, design, and setup. You don’t have to sell the spaces.

03 / KEEP IT VISIBLE

You update the specials.

Provide the agreed visible spot during operating hours, keep the board presentable, and update your message. Hosting terms and placement responsibilities are covered before installation.

One idea. A setup that fits.

Wall. Easel. Wheels.

We’ll look at your space together and recommend a practical display. Indoor and outdoor locations need different materials and mounting.

A space-saving indoor display for a café, salon, barber, or waiting room. Mounting and removability depend on the board selected and the wall surface.

Useful extras, without the clutter.

Reusable headings such as “TODAY’S SPECIAL,” “NEW,” and “HAPPY HOUR” make updates easier. We can discuss a menu or ordering QR code, appropriate markers, and optional lighting for your setup.

Extras and compatibility are confirmed with the selected board. Custom landing pages and other paid upgrades are optional.

Black glass. Two practical setups.

A sleek black-glass writing surface gives your specials a polished home. Choose a wall-mounted format for tighter spaces or a wheeled version for a lobby or waiting area.

The mobile board is approximately 36″ × 24″. Wall-mounted sizes and mounting are confirmed for your location.

Where it fits

Where customers pause,
your message belongs.

A doorway, a counter, a lobby, a waiting room. We’re looking for local owners who want a useful specials display and a visible home for community advertising.

“Could this work in my business?”
Let’s stop by and find out.

What we agree before placement

  • The display location and board format.
  • Visibility during your operating hours.
  • Who handles cleaning and daily positioning.
  • Acceptable advertiser categories and competitor conflicts.
  • The hosting term, ownership, and service arrangements.

A request is an expression of interest, not an automatic installation or a commitment to host.

Your community. Your connections.

Know a business you’d
like on your board?

Recommend a trusted service provider, a company owned by a regular customer, or another local business you’d like featured.

You make the introduction. We do the selling. We’ll explain the paid advertising opportunity and handle the details.

Recommendations are welcome, not required. Ad placement depends on space, category availability, host suitability, and advertiser participation.

Tell Jeff about your location ↗

A few examples

Your regular who owns a painting company. The HVAC business you trust. A local real estate agent. A nearby restaurant or auto service.

We’ll discuss suitable categories with you so the board supports your location and its customers.

A place for your message. A place for local business.

See where the
advertising goes.

Six individual advertising spaces sit beneath the large writable area, arranged three across and two down. Your daily specials remain the main event, while local businesses get a consistent place to be seen.

Make it personal to your location

When your board is set up, we’ll offer the option to add your location’s name at the top—such as “Welcome to [Your Business Name]”—so the display feels like part of your business.

Your specials go in the open area. Local advertiser spaces go underneath. Because It Works Media’s contact information goes in the footer.

Meet the black-glass board

Your specials.
A polished presentation.

A stylish mobile black-glass dry-erase board with an approximately 36″ × 24″ writing surface, a round base, and wheels. Your welcome header, daily message, and local advertiser spaces make it your own.

Wall-mounted or mobile

Wall mounted: a clean display for cafés, salons, barbershops, and compact waiting rooms.

On wheels: a movable display for restaurant lobbies and businesses that need to reposition the board.

Product photo supplied for reference. Board shown without custom graphics. The three-style mockup above illustrates possible placements; final model and installation are agreed for each host.

Good questions. Straight answers.

Is the board really free to host?

Yes. The community version is funded by paid local advertising spaces. There is no hosting charge. Location approval, advertiser funding, and the host agreement must be in place before installation. Optional upgrades are discussed separately.

Do I have to find the advertisers?

No. Because It Works Media handles advertiser outreach and sales. You’re welcome to recommend businesses, including companies owned by your customers.

Can I choose who advertises?

We discuss suitable categories and competitor conflicts before selling spaces for your location. Specific advertiser requests depend on availability and participation.

Does every board have to be glass or magnetic?

Black glass is available in wall-mounted and mobile formats. An easel setup can also be discussed. The board, graphics, and mounting are selected to suit your location; outdoor placements require a weather-suitable alternative.

Can my board link to my menu or online ordering?

Yes, a QR code can link to an existing menu, ordering, or booking page. We’ll confirm the setup with you. A custom landing page with several links is a separately priced option.

What if I want only my own promotions on it?

Ask about a private branded board. That is a purchased display without outside advertiser spaces, quoted separately from the free community hosting program.

Can I advertise instead of hosting?

Absolutely. Contact Jeff about available locations and categories. This page focuses on hosting; advertising placements are arranged separately.
