How it works

A simple local advertising model.

We create a useful board for a host venue at no cost. Six local businesses support the board and receive a dedicated advertising space for at least 12 months.

01

We partner with a busy local venue

Cafés, restaurants and other customer-facing businesses get a professionally made board for their premises at no cost.

02

Six local businesses are featured

Each advertiser gets a clear, dedicated position on the board, with only one business from each category.

03

The board stays visible long-term

The placement is designed for repeated local exposure — not a short campaign people see once and forget.

04

A local charity benefits too

For every completed board, Community Boards donates $600 to Christchurch City Mission.

Questions

Common things people ask.

How many businesses are on each board?

Each board has six dedicated advertising positions.

Can two competing businesses appear on the same board?

No. Each business category is exclusive on a particular board.

How long does the advertising stay up?

Placements are designed around a minimum 12-month term, creating repeated local exposure over time.

Does it cost a venue to host a board?

No. Hosting is free. The board is supported by the six local businesses featured on it.

What do I need to supply for my advert?

Usually your logo, brand colours, a short message, contact details and — if useful — a photo or simple call to action. We turn that into a clean board-ready design.
