What's Happening in Silverlakes-Pretoria East, Gauteng…

At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Health Organisation issued health and safety recommendations that countries could use to keep their populations safe and economies ticking over. Of those, social distancing is a particularly effective way of limiting new infections.

In some cases, like in the USA, Brazil, Italy, Spain, and the UK, it’s hard to imagine the coronavirus’ effects would have been any worse even without the WHO recommendations. Such was the pandemic’s toll in those countries. But that, in the end, we managed to at least slow new infections and exert a measure of control over the pandemic shows that these recommendations work if we strictly adhere to them. 

Business printing pieces for enforcing social distancing

Here are business printing pieces your business should invest in to help you enforce social distancing:

1. Floor decals and Floor Graphics

Floor decals and floor graphics are quickly becoming some of the most effective business printing pieces in the retail industry. These graphics are an unexpected way to draw attention to the store rules as cautious shoppers draw their eyes to the floor. In the same way that this has been effective year-round in public spaces, it is often one area that cannot be ignored. Try using bright, branded colours.

2. A-frame sandwich boards

Whether you are offering curbside pickup, or for any messaging that needs to be communicated to your customers before entering your store, sandwich boards are a popular form of business signage that helps relay important information ahead of time.

3. Informational Posters and Banners

For those looking to display COVID-19 information creatively while keeping your branding front-and-centre, posters and banners are an ideal choice. From new business protocols to hand-washing signage and symptom lists, large format printing, posters, and banners can tell the story that you simply do not have time to communicate to customers individually.

4. Window decals

Colourful, eye-popping stickers and custom window decals are another unique Print piece your business can take advantage of during COVID-19. As marketing opportunities are less, window decals serve as an effective branding tool if strategically used. Large or small, window decals are sure to make an impact on passers-by, even at a distance.
