The wake of the COVID-19 pandemic has made it more necessary than ever for businesses to invest in informative custom-printed floor decals that direct customers throughout retail and other brick-and-mortar locations.
Examples of uses for distinctive floor decals vary widely. They can be used for any purpose, including wayfinding solutions, informing customers of special promotions or sales, or as decorative pieces that feature your brand logo.
Regardless of their purpose, floor decals are a great way to establish strong brand identity, brand loyalty, and create lasting impressions on your customers.
Most importantly, custom-printed floor decals and stickers encourage social distancing between customers. Whether you’re asking customers to stand six feet apart in the checkout lanes and meat counter or directing them which way to walk down the aisles of a grocery or retail store, public health and safety is and should always be a top priority for all businesses.
What Are Custom-Printed Floor Decals?
At this point, you might be wondering what custom-printed floor decals are and how they can successfully help your business encourage social distancing. Traditionally, floor decals were mostly used in retail environments as wayfinding and promotional tools to direct customers to a certain part of the store.
Recently, however, the concept of floor decals in stores and retail establishments has been repurposed to encourage and promote social distancing in public places. Additionally, custom-printed floor decals for social distancing also happen to provide excellent branding opportunities. Business owners can choose from a variety of design, colour, and material options that best represent their brand.
Custom-printed floor decals are ideal for indoor and outdoor use and they can be made to order, so you can customize your designs and order numbers as time goes on. Floor decals and stickers are easy to install and extremely durable so they can handle all kinds of usage and last for a number of months without replacement.
Simply peel the sticker off of the paper backing and apply to a clean surface of your choosing. Lightly press down in the center of the decal and carefully smooth out the edges and you’re done!
