Chalkboard Message Ideas for Halloween and Fall

This is a great time of the year to have chalkboards for sale in your booth.  They sell better when you artsy them up a little.  There are lots of ideas out there for any artistic ability.

Bonus:  Words (as in large signs) in a booth are great attention grabbers.  People can't help themselves.  They have to read it.  That means, they'll look that much longer in your booth.  Maybe they'll even walk in for a closer look instead of just giving your booth the once over from the aisle.

Don't have a chalkboard?  Find a large frame.  Have smooth MDF board cut to fit.  Paint it with black chalkboard paint.

Here's some chalkboard message inspiration to get you thinking -

This first one is my all time favorite.  I have seen entire booth walls painted in black chalkboard paint.  It really makes a great backdrop.  The ones I've seen weren't fully decorated like this one.  They usually had the name of the booth at the top and maybe a few seasonal designs.  The rest was left blank to allow the furniture in front of it to show well.   Something like this one would look great on a wall behind the register area, don't you think????

Booth Sign From Coathangers

I'm definitely in favor of giving a booth a name.  A name is much easier for customers to remember than the typical booth numbers or codes used to track sales at Antique malls.  If a customer sees something they like in your booth and wants to come back to it later, a memorable booth sign might help them remember your booth.

This is just a quick (and cheap) idea I found on Pinterest. The instructions are in Chinese, but it looks easy enough to figure out.

I hope to include more ideas for booth signs over time.  Have you subscribed to email updates yet?  Are you following along on the Vintage Show Off Facebook page?
