Top Tips for Using Commercial Signs and Menu Holders
To maximize your menu holders' effectiveness, ensure content is regularly updated and printed on quality card—flimsy paper looks unprofessional. Clean displays daily with microfiber cloths to prevent smudges, and position them at comfortable reading angles. Consider rotating special offers in highlighted positions, and match holder styles with your overall decor for a cohesive look. For outdoor use, secure holders with discreet weights or choose heavier base models to prevent wind issues.
