VisoBoard lets your business stand out with bright and bold colors. The modern chalkboard is black and has a lit-up border that is powered by one adapter and one battery mount.

Better than any old fashioned chalkboard or white board, VisoBoard is even the perfect replacement for [LED message boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/largescale-digital-signage).

**Implications** - The global recession hit small businesses hard, and many entrepreneurs suddenly found themselves unable to spend on marketing their companies as they would have in more fruitful years. Instead of [neon storefronts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1) or custom signs, small-budget retailers looked for [modern chalkboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenvias) and other do-it-yourself solutions that could advertise their company's presence to prospective customers in an attractive, cost-effective manner.
