Following the Prime Minister’s announcement regarding the reopening of non-essential shops from June 15th, there’s a wave of optimism for the economy. However, this positive step towards normalcy needs to be balanced with continued vigilance against Covid-19. As a shop owner, ensuring the safety of your staff and customers remains paramount. Here’s how social distancing signage can play a crucial role in your reopening strategy.
Prioritising Public Health
The NHS has bravely fought the Covid-19 pandemic, and protecting its resources is an ongoing priority. By implementing social distancing measures in your shop, you contribute to safeguarding the NHS from becoming overburdened. Social distancing signage serves as a visual reminder for both customers and staff, encouraging responsible behaviour and reducing the risk of infection.
Social Distancing Signage
Effective communication is key to a smooth and safe reopening. Social distancing signage provides a clear and consistent message to all who enter your shop.
Here’s how different signage options can be utilised:
- Floor Stickers: Guide customers on maintaining a safe distance while queuing or browsing your products. Floor stickers are particularly effective for high-traffic areas like entrances, checkouts, and changing rooms.
- Sneeze Guards: Protect both staff and customers by installing sneeze guards at checkout counters and other points of interaction. These physical barriers further minimise the risk of transmission.
- Posters and A-Boards: Clearly communicate your social distancing policies and hygiene protocols with prominent posters and A-boards. You can display them at entrances, exits, and strategic locations throughout your shop.
- Banners: Take advantage of reopening to announce your return with eye-catching banners. Combine reopening announcements with reminders about social distancing and hygiene measures to reinforce your commitment to public health.
- Beyond Safety: Fostering Customer Confidence
Signage isn’t just about enforcing rules; it’s about building trust and confidence. By prioritising social distancing measures and clearly communicating them through signage, you assure your customers that you value their safety and well-being. This can foster a positive shopping experience and encourage repeat business.
