- Fiddly for some: The 12mm size can be tricky for those with larger hands.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a busy tearoom in the heart of Bath, was struggling with handwritten chalkboard menus that looked untidy and were difficult to update quickly during service. They switched to a large peg board using this Beaumont yellow letter set 12mm to give their cake display a clearer, more professional look.
"The difference was immediate. The new board is so much cleaner and easier to read. Customers can see the prices at a glance, and it's simple for staff to swap out items when we sell out. It just looks more organised and inviting."
Susan Clarke – Proprietor
After implementation, The Copper Kettle reported that their daily cake sales increased by over 10%, attributing it directly to the improved clarity and appeal of their new menu display.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For easy access, unpack and sort your letters into a compartmentalised tray before you begin.
- Plan your message on paper first to ensure you have enough space and the right characters.
- Push each letter firmly onto the peg board until you feel it seat correctly.
- Work from the top-left and move across and down for the neatest, most aligned finish.
Keeping It Going
- Store all your unused letters in a dedicated container to prevent them from getting lost.
- If letters get dusty or sticky, simply wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as they can damage the plastic.
- Regularly check that all characters are secure on the board, especially if it's in a high-traffic area.
