Clipboards for work orders. I cannot tell you how many shops I have visited that had orders strewn all over the place, with the staff going in circles looking for the lost paperwork. Put the work order on the board, hang the boards together where they can be seen. You can even attach a dry...

That is quite true. Some shops do give out promotional items to its customers. Most of those customers are happy to receive the little mementos of their visit. A pen, ruler, or magnet can act as advertisement -- items that they will use often work best. Mouse pads are bit more expensive, but...
