Re-Opening Jumpstart Options for Getting Back to Business!

So you’ve heard that your region is set to re-open. You’re not sure when, but you’re excited to hear that it might be soon. Are you ready to re-open your doors?

As many locations across the globe set to “get back to business”, many people are wondering what the newfound economic future has in store. For some places, like grocery and convenience stores, business has continued throughout various stages of lockdown, but “business as usual” has taken on an entirely new meaning. Stores of all scales and sizes have re-branded, not only in terms of signage (encouraging people to stand apart), but also in terms of clothing and uniforms (t-shirts thanking customers for social distancing and doing their part, or masks and gloves worn by staff).

While we are not laying claim to the “right” way to re-open a business, it is apparent that, at least in the short term, the landscape of business will look different than what we once knew. But we think this is nothing to shy away from. In fact, there’s plenty of opportunity here to connect with your customers, even as we adapt to a new working reality.

The At-Home Workstation

For customers and clients who work in industries with remote capability, perhaps there has been little disruption to regular business as usual. Many people in office industries have been fortunate enough to work from home, carving home offices out of dining room tables, spare bedrooms, or extra closets. But although work continues uninterrupted, it’s been a long few months. So why not send your employees or customers a little care package to spruce up their at-home workstation and show them you’re thinking of them during this time? Depending on your budget you can select just one or two small items (pens or sticky notes), or, for a wow-factor, brand everything from writing instruments, to drinkware, to uniforms. With many places remaining in work-from-home mode for the foreseeable future, now’s a great opportunity to think about leaving your mark at home where people are most comfortable!

The In-Office Care Kit

Perhaps your workplace is one of the places lucky enough to be slated for re-opening but you’re now in the process of setting up new workstations and implementing new protocol. With people heading back to the office and sanitation on everyone’s mind, this is the perfect opportunity to consider office desk products that may not have been top of mind in the past. For newly opening workplaces, we recommend handy products such as hand wipes or hand sanitizer. We’ve got an array of disinfectant options to choose from, from gels to sprays, so that people can easily carry them on the go throughout the office and use them to keep their workplaces germ free. Looking for something that’s both unique and convenient? Our brand new paper soap makes it easy to carry soap on the go!

The Front-Line Bottom Line

Going back to work is now the perfect time to show support for essential workers and there are a myriad of ways to do so. Despite the easement of social distancing restrictions, many locations still recommend a required distance of 6 feet between people. Encourage customers and staff to do so with friendly reminders on t-shirts (for your staff) or tote bags (for your customers’ convenience). Pair either of these options with a matching mask for unmistakable brand recognition.

While we recognize that these new protocols may not be everyone’s preference, we also understand that change is inevitable. We want to assist everyone in getting back to business as usual, in the safest and most convenient way possible!
