Here are some of the best places to place your COVID-19 signag

1. Front entrance/door - For signage indicating a change in business hours, special hours for seniors, a shift to take-out/delivery only, the front entrance is the best option.

2. Business storefront/display window - Don’t hesitate to make use of your company’s storefront to spotlight what your business and employees are doing to combat Coronavirus (COVID-19), and how customers can do their share as well.

3. Store interior/point-of-sale - Use floor graphics to reinforce social-distance messaging around the checkout lane. Signage throughout the store can reinforce to customers that you’re watching out for their health as they buy needed items.

Utilizing COVID-19 Signage in Your Office Setting

Even as companies (and economies) begin reopening and employees return to work, COVID-19 remains a concern for customers as well as staff. The buying public as well as your staff want to be confident that they’re safe as businesses recover.

How can your company use signage to help customers recognize that your company is following best practices to ensure their well-being? And how can you use signage to let your employees know you’re looking out for them as well?

Here are several signage suggestions to integrate into your operation as you gear up for a full-speed-ahead economy:

Social-Distancing Signag - By now, we all know that avoiding close contact with other people can help stop the spread of COVID-19, and that 6 feet is the recommended distance as we shop, work, and interact with each other. Social-distancing signs are perfect for reminding customers and your employees about the importance of social distancing, and floor decals and carpet stickers can even provide actual measurements right underfoot.

Masks Required Signage - With state and local governments as well as some businesses now mandating customers and/or employees wear a facemask, masks required signs can provide an effective visual reminder to people that masks must be worn. In other cases, where companies or communities are making mask wearing optional, signage can help here as well, reminding everyone that masks serve to protect those most at risk—not necessarily the wearer.

Temperature Check Signage - Before entering a facility, some employees and guests/clients are being required to undergo temperature screening for signs of possible COVID-19 infection. Temperature check signs This signage can alert people of the screening and serve as wayfinding to the specific testing location. Of course, signage can also provide additional information once people have reached the testing location: line forms here, remain 6 feet apart, mask required, etc.

Wash Your Hands Signage - We can all probably do a better job with our handwashing routine, particularly in the time of COVID-19 – frequent handwashing can be a major factor in helping prevent the spread of this disease and removing germs. Wash your hands signs can raise awareness among your employees and your customers about the importance of this simple but critical task, while generally stressing public health and safety.

Maximum Occupancy Signage - To facilitate businesses reopening, many states and communities have established reduced-occupancy limits for a period of time. Companies can use maximum occupancy signage to indicate the specific number of customers/visitors currently allowed into their facility, serving to limit congestion and foot traffic. Signage can also indicate one-way traffic in store aisles and signify further social-distancing information.

Curbside Pickup & Delivery Signage - Be sure that your customers know that your company is offering these vital services. Curbside pickup & delivery signs can be continuous and very visual reminders here, ensuring that folks see how you’re proactively finding ways to serve them now and year-round: with curbside pickup, free/reduced delivery, contactless delivery, online ordering, and more.

We’re Open Signag - Ensure that customers, passersby, and the community see that you’re open for business. Alert people to your current hours, an opening sale, perhaps a revised menu, new maximum-occupancy limits, and more. The sky’s the limit with we are open signs.

Of course, signs can take on other COVID-related messaging as well. For instance, you can utilize signage to remind employees that if they feel sick or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, they should go home and/or visit the company nurse. But perhaps the sign that everyone wants to see is this: Welco
