Default Something to SERIOUSLY consider with the Daily Special Boards

In my research on this project I found TWO businesses who have been providing "Lighted" Daily Special Boards (with Ads at the bottom)

BOTH of the owners of these bizes told me they had an unfortunate experience with them where a customer bumped into one of their Boards causing it to fall over on another person.

In one case, it was a 10yr old boy, and the Board hit his foot and broke it.

The other case was an 82yr old women who banged into the side of the board, broke her glasses, fell down and broke her hip (older people have brittle bones)

BOTH of these case involved the restaurant's INSURANCE COMPANY getting involved AND...the restaurant's Insurance Company looked to the SUPPLIER OF THE BOARDS!

So...if YOU are placing Boards in a "public" place.....YOU....as the "Manufacturer" COULD be involved in a 'Damage Suit".

So...before placing any Boards in a 'public" area, contact an Insurance agent about a "Public Liability" policy.

Default You are so Right

Don,

I can not agree with you more!

It is very important to have insurance. I have liability insurance on another business and I can't see why it would be more than $300 a year.

Take Care,

Tim

PS- I enjoyed speaking with you the other day! Keep up the good work.

Don,
I was at a restaurant on Sunday in Monticello, IA that had the board attached to wall by the entrance. This may help to solve any legal issues.

Default Sorry.....

"Wall-Mounted" boards lack the pizzaz of my Free-Standing units. MANY restaurants do not want something "mounted to their walls".

A Free-Standing unit sitting out in the OPEN is EASIER to see and has more "sales OOMPH"...than a wall mount. Also is easier to sell to advertisers and is UNIQUE!

Just my "experience".
