Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a bustling little tea room in Norwich, needed a quicker way to update customers on their ever-changing selection of homemade cakes and  scones. Their old, printed signs were becoming wasteful and  time-consuming to manage each morning.

"We dotted these little chalkboards along the counter next to each cake stand. It's so much faster to update, and  they just look the part. Customers comment on them all the time, and  they definitely draw the eye to our bakes."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle

Since introducing the small tabletop chalkboards, the tea room noted a 20% increase in sales of their daily cake specials, driven by improved visibility and  impulse buys.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • The board arrives ready to use – no assembly required!
  • Simply slot the blackboard into the secure pine base.
  • For best results, 'prime' the board by colouring the entire surface with a liquid chalk marker and then wiping it clean.
  • Place on a flat, stable surface away from the edge of tables or counters.

Keeping It Going

  • We recommend using liquid chalk markers for the most vibrant and  cleanable results.
  • To clean, use a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, Securit blackboard cleaner (Y994) is ideal.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the surface.
  • Regularly wipe the pine base with a dry cloth to keep it looking its best.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Freestanding Table Chalkboard

Not sure which tabletop sign is right for you? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the perfect fit for your business.

Consider the Size

Is it for a small café table or a large bar? This mini blackboard sign is compact, making it ideal for individual tables or crowded counters where space is at a premium.

Match Your Style

The rustic pine base suits a huge range of interiors, from modern rustic to traditional country pub. Think about how its natural wood look will complement your existing decor.

Chalk vs. Chalk Pen

This board shines with liquid chalk pens, which offer bold colour and  easy cleaning. If you prefer traditional chalk, be aware the finish may be less sharp and  cleaning more thorough.

Indoors or Outdoors?

This model, with its lightweight design and  pine base, is designed for indoor use. If you need something for a windy beer garden, look for a heavier A-frame or weighted base model.

Ease of Cleaning

A key feature of the Olympia GG110 chalkboard is its easy-clean melamine surface. If your signs change multiple times a day, a non-porous surface like this is a must-have.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use normal stick chalk on this board?

A: You can, but for the best, most vibrant results and  easiest cleaning, we strongly recommend using liquid chalk markers.

Q: Is the board double-sided?

A: The board itself is a single piece of melamine that slots into the base, so you can easily flip it around to write on the other side if you wish.

Q: How stable is the base?

A: The solid pine base has a 54mm depth, providing a stable footing that prevents it from being easily knocked over during a busy service.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the writing area?

A: The usable writing surface is approximately 225mm high by 120mm wide, giving you plenty of space for short messages.

Q: Is the wood treated for outdoor use?

A: The pine base is designed for indoor use and  is not treated for prolonged exposure to weather.

Q: Does it come with any chalk pens?

A: Chalk pens are sold separately, allowing you to choose the colours and  nib sizes that best suit your needs.

Q: How do I clean off liquid chalk marker?

A: A simple wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For a perfect, streak-free finish, we recommend using a dedicated blackboard cleaner spray.

Q: Can the board be removed from the base for storage?

A: Yes, the board and  base are two separate pieces. They can be easily separated for flat, space-saving storage.

Why a Melamine Board Beats Old-School Slate

Ever tried to clean a traditional slate chalkboard after it's been written on? You often get that annoying chalky 'ghost' of the previous message. The Olympia GG110 chalkboard uses a modern melamine surface to solve this. Think of it like a mini, heavy-duty whiteboard, but with a classic blackboard look. The surface is non-porous, meaning liquid chalk ink sits on top rather than soaking in. This means a quick wipe with a damp cloth and  cleaner (like Y994) leaves it looking brand new every single time, ready for your next message with no smudges or stains. It’s also far less likely to chip or shatter if knocked over – a huge plus in any busy commercial spot.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Coffee Shops: Ideal for displaying daily cake selections, special coffee blends, or Wi-Fi passwords right on the counter.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: A perfect restaurant tabletop menu board for 'catch of the day', soup specials, or reserved table signs.
  • Delis & Farm Shops: Brilliantly effective for highlighting local cheeses, deli deals, or producer information next to products.
  • Pubs & Bars: A simple way to advertise guest ales, gin of the week, or quiz night reminders on the bar.
