Gallery: Send us your best A-board pictures

Pubs are renowned for luring customers with witty sales pitches and risky jokes on A-boards, and we want to see the best of them​.

A-boards can lead to global recognition. Mick Quinn, leaseholder at the Fleming Arms, Ryde, Isle of Wight, hailed the impact of his controversial signs which boosted trade — despite public complaints to police.

Quinn featured in local and national newspapers around the world with his daring jokes.

He told the PMA​ the signs were the “most effective advertising I’ve ever known, and it’s free”.

But take it too far an attempted joke can land a pub in trouble.

The Monkmoor pub, in Shrewsbury, was forced to remove a “German porn” board after complaints led to a visit from police and environmental health inspectors.

Managing director of Inn-Dispensable, Martin Read, runs an A-board course, inspired by seeing some terrible examples of marketing (below).

Licensees are taught how to make bright, attractive a-boards to lure customers.
