Ensure Customer Safety with Social Distancing Floor Stickers

There is no end to the measures we are taking to protect ourselves and our loved ones against the spread of the COVID-19 virus. As we all know, one of the most important things you can do if you have to go out shopping is to wear your mask and social distance.

Social distancing floor stickers in Canada are keeping customers and clients separated from one another and from staff. Everybody wants to work together to make everyone safer. Giving your customers clear directions for how to keep them safe will be appreciated by all. Here are some tips for the best way to use floor stickers to communicate distancing policies with the public.

Businesses are pitching in to make this easier by reconfiguring their layouts, putting up plexiglass sneezeguards, and using social distancing floor stickers. But not all of these products are created equal.

Keep Crowds from Forming at the Checkout Counter

It happens a hundred times a day, in every store across the country. A line has formed to the checkout, and people are moving closer and closer together to make room. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone should maintain a safe distance, but people can easily forget.

By placing social distancing floor stickers six feet apart to designate where people should stop and wait, they will be reminded to follow the rules, and they’ll feel safer too. Make sure your message is clear and visible to get the best use out of your floor markings.

Some people use tape instead of floor stickers to save a few dollars. Marks made from masking tape don’t do much to explain what people should do. Masking tape marks also aren’t eye-catching and run the risk of being rubbed off and carried away on shoes or boxes.

Purpose-designed stickers can explain more clearly, look more professional, and be sturdier and more dependable. The tape has to be replaced daily and does not look very good. Social distancing floor stickers in Canada are especially susceptible to dirt and grime as the weather and mud get tracked in on peoples’ shoes.

You will want to send a message of professionalism with well-designed social distancing floor stickers that show you are taking the new requirements of the pandemic seriously. Using clearer, cleaner stickers shows that your company cares about cleanliness and hygiene, which inspires confidence in customers. This responsibility also sends a message to customers that your products are also reliable.

Improve Your In-Store Flow

Especially while there is limited capacity allowed in stores, you want to make sure your customers have access to your products. More customers out mean more customers in. Social distancing floor stickers in Canada can demonstrate the flows of traffic down aisles and around your store.

Clearly marked social distance floor stickers can also guide your customers where to line up. Customers feel more confident when they are sure of what to do. Your customers will also be in and out of the store in record time without crowding.

There are different ways of arranging or adding to your social distancing signage. This can involve hanging signs, sandwich board signs, or floor stickers with specific messaging, such as “the line starts here”. This way, there will be no need for your employees to play the role of traffic cop, so they can stay safely behind their plexiglass sneeze guards. Both your employees and your customers will feel safer when they can maintain a safe distance.

Quick and Easy

Social distancing floor stickers are usually already printed out or quick to design. Some stores opt to have their logos or store news on the stickers to get more attention. Either way, social distancing stickers are easy to install and perfect for a variety of floors, indoors or out. 

Double Up with Social Distancing and Barriers

We are all familiar with sneezeguards from eating at salad bars. Plexiglass sneezeguards in Canada are a super effective tool used in combination with social distance floor decals. It isn’t realistic for customers to stand 6 feet away from the counter when paying for their goods.

A person doesn’t have to sneeze or cough to share their germs, simply speaking can be enough. Sneezeguards make both your employees and your customers safer by significantly reducing the possibility of transmission.  

COVID-19 has been full of steep learning curves for every business as we try to learn how to keep one another safe. By using social distancing floor stickers in Canada, you are showing your customers that you take their safety seriously.
