Lost customers, financial hardships for employees, unforeseen expenses due to social distancing and sanitizing standards. These are just some of the issues facing small businesses. So let’s ask the question; how can Print Service Providers help?

Social Distancing Graphics

Posters can function as an effective communication tool for your visitors. It helps them understand the rules and regulations on COVID-19 safety measure before they even enter your premise. PSPs can provide these printing services in short or long runs. They allow immense flexibility depending on the size and scale of your operation.

Masks have become a standard of our society in this day and age. However, even they only provide a certain level of protection. Another great PPE are face shields. Sure, they can be purchased as a generic piece of plastic, but what if you could customize it with your logo? Imagine a tool that not only helps your visiting customers and employees stay safe, but is also an effective marketing tool that promotes your company brand.

Promotional Banners & Signage

How do you communicate to your customers that you still operating during COVID-19? Outdoor banners provide excellent visual cues to customers that you are open for business.

Sometimes it’s hard to keep your company on your customer’s mind. We live in a distracting world, which has become even worse with COVID-19. With people venturing out less and less due to shelter-in-place restrictions it’s even harder to promote your brand.

Direct marking materials can be expensive and mailing is sometimes difficult. Sure print service providers can help with that as well, but what if there was a cheaper and easier way for PSPs to help promote your brand in a more passive way? Stickers and labels can be that inroad to marketing your company.
