With days to go until the start of the much anticipated Football World Cup, Chalkboard Uk's popular World Cup products have seen a sharp rise in sales! So much so that a new batch of products have had to be made to deal with the influx of orders. 

“Having seen hundreds of World Cup promotions” says ChalkboardsUK manager Matthew Branch, “we wanted to make sure that our customers didn't miss out, and they certainly haven't”.


ChalkboardsUK have a range of World Cup products which all include an attractive Vinyl World Cup Sticker to highlight the live matches.


“We’ve listened to our customers” says Matthew, “they were concerned that the boards would be redundant after the event, so we’re including a FREE follow on sticker to use when all the games have finished.”

The FREE “Next Match Live Here” vinyl stickers will be automatically sent out with all the World Cup boards sold.
As well as the World Cup range, Chalkboardsuk are also promoting several of their A Boards with a 20% offer and have already seen significant sales increases of the “Heavyweight A Frames” and “Hardwood A Boards”.


The current offers run until the end of the World Cup on July 11th.

If you watched Junior Apprentice on BBC 1 last night (cup cake episode), you will have seen a number of Chalkboards that were used to try and promote their cup cakes. The young entrepreneurs enticed fashionable consumers to their stall with the aid of a Table Top Chalkboard. A great example of how Chalkboards can be used to help your business.

At Chalkboards UK we are always to trying to come up with new products that will help to attract passing trade, even in a contemporary environment like Selfridges in the West End. The Table Top Range is one of our most successful sellers, due to its ease of use, cheap cost and effectiveness.

The particular blackboard used was Chalkboards UK's A3 Table Top Chalkboard priced at just £10.95. A small price to pay for such a vital part of the display!

This isn't the first time Chalkboards UK's boards have appeared on the popular show. In Episode One, where the willing participants were selling cheese in Camden Market and Covent Garden, our Hardwood A Frame Chalkboard was used (currently on offer!).

We’re all delighted to finally launch our new range of “easiclean” chalkboards - Guaranteed not to shadow and to provide an easy to clean chalkboard surface that lasts for a very long time.

Made from High Pressure Laminate (HPL) the boards bring a number of fantastic features to our existing range. HPL is extremely tough and provides a perfectly smooth surface. This makes for a brilliant printing material and is something we shall be recommending for our bespoke board customers.

The big plus is that HPL is so tough it can be wiped clean time and time again without damaging the surface, and because the surface can be wiped completely clean there is no shadow left from the previous image.
As well as introducing a range of standard Unframed HPL chalkboards we’ve also cherry picked some of our more popular lines, such as Framed HPL Chalkboards and A-Frame HPL Chalkboards, and manufactured an HPL version.

Chalkboard Manager, Matthew Branch, says: “This is something I’ve been trying to introduce for the past few months but it’s taken some time to source the HPL. It’s only now that that we’re happy we’ve secured the right product from the right supplier. Yes, High Pressure laminate Chalkboards are more expensive but the benefits are so huge that they quickly pay for themselves”

At Porter and Woodman Group, all departments work together to provide the best services possible.

The relationship between Print Services and Chalkboards UK is particularly close, with Print Services providing all the design and artwork facilities to produce printed chalkboards. There are a few examples here of our work together, but a much bigger range of printed work can be seen on the Chalkboards website, and there is now a case study page on the Print Services website.

The design and print service provided by Chalkboards UK can range from one-off chalkboards printed with the logo of a pub, restaurant or shop; to larger contract work for breweries, retail chains and soft drinks companies.

A large contract has recently been completed for the National Trust for A Frames printed in 5 colours and distributed on their behalf to their properties.

Print Services also provides the design and print facility for all other departments' marketing requirements, including Chalkboards UK's Chalk It Up newsletter.

April Fools offer into last week!

A reminder to one and all that the Chalkboards UK's table top discount offer ends Friday!

So far this month the A4 Table top chalkboard has sold around a 1000 units online alone, which is about a 250% rise from the previous month. "We can't make them fast enough!" commented Production Manager Richard Tansell.

The “Tombstone” range is the most popular product in the Table Top range, especially the A4, as mentioned above. Available in sizes A5 up to A2 the “Tombstone” is the ideal way to promote an “in house” product, either by chalking on your own message or having it pre-printed by the Chalkboards UK Printshop.

“We've sold more of the A4 than the other sizes,” says Matthew, “with the price reduced from £8.95 down to just over £7, you can see why they have been so popular”.

A further 10% is available if 10 or more are ordered at the same time.

April Fools follows March Madness!

Having just had its most successful March ever, Chalkboards Uk thought they would see if they could sustain customers’ interest by switching the 20% discount from one product group to another.

“The success of the March Poster Holder promotion lay in the fact that we were giving a substantial saving off something that our customers were already interested in” says Chalkboard manager Matthew Branch.

“We hope that by giving the same great discount – a wopping 20% - off the Table Top Range we can once again appeal to our customers’ nose for a real bargain”.

The “Tombstone” range is the most popular product in the Table Top range. Available in sizes A5 up to A2 the “Tombstone” is the ideal way to promote an “in house” product, either by chalking on your own message or having it pre-printed by the Chalkboardsuk Printshop.

“We sell more of the A4 than the other sizes,” says Matthew, “and with the price being reduced from £8.95 down to just over £7, it’s a real bargain”.

A further 10% is available if 10 or more are ordered at the same time.
