Sponsored specials boards for local businesses
Place a free, reusable dry-erase specials board inside a busy local business, reserve part of it for the host's specials, and sell the remaining advertising spaces to nearby businesses for a one-year term. The host gains a useful specials board, while advertisers receive repeated local visibility.

Problem: Local businesses want affordable, visible brand exposure, while host businesses need a prominent way to display specials and announcements without buying the board themselves.
For: Hosts such as restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, auto shops, breweries, and other businesses with high foot traffic and customers who stay for a while; advertisers such as local painting, HVAC, law, tax, insurance, realtor, pet, and other service businesses.
Examples
- FSK, a brunch place in Missoula, agreed to host the first board for free after receiving an Instagram message and seeing the board in person.
