Over the next two months, many Alexandria and Arlington residents will hit the streets in a frenzy of holiday shopping. While there may not be as many shoppers as in the past few years due to the ongoing pandemic, people will still venture outside to buy the things they need to celebrate the holidays.
As a local business, you can help instill trust with the general public by letting them know of the actions that you’re taking to help keep them and your employees safe. A great way to do this is with
social distancing signage.
We’re going to take a look at the various types of signs that your business can install that will provide the general public with peace of mind knowing that you’re doing all that you can to help keep them safe.
Floor Graphics
It seems as if everyone is in a rush when it comes to the holiday shopping season. They’re out and about trying to find the best deals or latest gifts for friends and family members. It’s easy for them to temporarily forget that we’re in the midst of a pandemic as they fight the cold weather and long lines at the local stores.
Floor graphics are a great way to remind people of safe traffic flow and line queue inside your business. They will also provide reassurance to all customers that you have enacted rules that will help ensure their safety. Choose from a wide variety of custom colors, shapes, and sizes as well as permanent or temporary floor graphics.
Kiosk Displays
If you own a restaurant, some people won’t feel comfortable walking in and sitting down to eat. While many local food establishments offer phone and online ordering, the customer still has to step inside to pick it up.
A
kiosk display placed on the front curb or parking lot of your business will allow customers to drive up and get their orders without ever leaving their car. You can even have an umbrella added to help protect your employees from the elements.
Sidewalk Signs
Sidewalk Signs will allow you to write messages that inform local passersby of your COVID social distancing policies. It can help instill trust that your business is doing everything it can to keep customers and employees safe. They’re built tough and can withstand even the coldest and wettest of Alexandrian and Arlington winters.
Choose from a wide variety of materials such as wood, PVC plastic, and aluminum. You can opt for UV-resistant inks that won’t fade in the hot summer sun. The board itself can be made out of chalk, dry-erase, magnetic, and corkboard. When it’s time to close up shop for the day, a single person can easily fold it up and bring it indoors.
Window Clings
If your business has large glass front windows,
window clings are a great way to dress them up. They can also provide valuable information such as your mask policy, how often your employees sanitize the area, and so on. Thanks to the state-of-the-art digital printers at AlphaGraphics of Alexandria and Arlington, you can have them printed up in bright, vivid colors that won’t fade in the sun.
Window clings are entirely removable and repositionable. They won’t damage or mar the glass, and that will keep you in good standing with your store lease. If they get dirty, a simple wipe with a damp rag will have them looking as good as new. Compared to other forms of advertising and signage, they are highly cost-effective.
Vinyl Banners
Vinyl banners will attract attention from far and wide. They’re great for areas with high vehicle and pedestrian traffic. You can let people know that you’re open for business along with the various precautions that you’ve taken to help prevent the spread of COVID.
They come with a wide variety of mounting options that allow them to be installed almost anywhere! If the area your business is in has high winds, you can opt for a perforated outdoor banner. It has thousands of tiny little holes that allow the breezes to pass harmlessly through without causing it to flutter uncontrollably.
