Well-designed signs have a special place in our hearts because of the impact they have on our daily lives. A well-placed sign can help you navigate a new town or large building, can help your clients understand your business hours and policies, or can give simple directions. Some signs serve simply to uplift and provide a quick burst of positivity during an otherwise challenging time.
In light of COVID-19, it is likely that your business needs to redirect your clients in various ways. From directions to a newly utilized entrance to signs indicating changes of hours or services to signs indicating newly adopted health standards, Starfish Signs is here to create the environmental print that will get your business and your clients through the coronavirus scare.
Directional Signs
Directional or wayfinding signs help people find their way to or within your business. This can be particularly important for grocery stores, which may be rerouting their clients to count how many people are in the building at a given time. Similarly, hospitals and medical offices may utilize temporary signage to direct patients to a triage area or through a parking garage.
A variety of directional signs are available to those in need. For those looking to institute permanent changes, an aluminum sign or a mounted acrylic sign may be for you. On the other hand, if you are looking to advertise changes you hope to reverse after the containment of coronavirus, you might consider an A-frame sign or even floor decals, which are durable for up to 180 days but easily removable.
Although floor decals are often used as a marketing tool, COVID-19 has brought a new norm: social distancing. As your business struggles to give clear directions to clients about how far away to stand from one another, or from your staff, consider floor decals. A well-designed floor detail can convey everything you need to know without rearranging the interior of your business.
Clarifying Signs
As much of the nation self-isolates, businesses are being asked to change their policies and hours. While it is critical that your business comply with local authorities to prevent the spread of the virus, it is also important that you keep your customers informed about what they can expect. This added convenience will help your clients stay loyal to your business during an otherwise trying time for them.
Clarifying signs can help advertise your business’s changes to your clients. We have a wide variety of templates that you can choose from to save you the headache of designing a temporary sign. We can also utilize window clings or other lower-cost alternatives to traditional signs.
The same can be said for signs that advertise changes in your business’s policy. You might be considering reducing the number of clients you can take on at a time, or temporarily reducing some services in favor of essential services. Perhaps you are a restaurant trying to continue operations by shifting from dine-in to takeout. If you find yourself in such a predicament, don’t panic! Reach out to us for help crafting an affordable sign that retains your company’s branding to continue fostering confidence in your business during this time.
Personal Hygiene Signs
Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. Cover your mouth with your elbow if you must cough or sneeze. At this point, we’ve heard the warnings for containing the spread of coronavirus. There are vital preventive measures we all must take to flatten the curve.
We can provide hygiene signs to remind staff and clients of the importance of thoroughly washing their hands. Equally, as your staff works to manage the spread of germs within your facility, we can create signs indicating temporarily closed areas of your business to passersby, allowing your staff to clean without disruption.
Likewise, you may be a hospital looking for signage covering health and safety guidelines. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to update its standards based on current knowledge, it is important that you have appropriate signs to inform your staff of the proper precautions. With matters such as these, we can print on a quick turnaround basis, in order to ensure you are able to advertise the most up-to-date information to your team.
Compliance Signs
As your business shifts and adapts to the times, you might be considering moving to a single exit or a single portion of your business. Ensure that as you recreate your business boundaries, you remain in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
If you are changing the purpose of rooms or redirecting traffic for safety reasons, you will need to update your signage to comply. Remember, if you are making a change that will last more than seven days — and at this point, you likely are — you will need to update your signs to reflect this.
