As organizations of all types begin reopening, it’s important that we continue to follow recommended health protocols to keep visitors and employees healthy. Healthy habits within an organization help keep it sustainable while we await the release of a COVID-19 vaccine. At AMI Graphics, we created a line of products that help organizations reopen and stay open by encouraging healthy practices. While we all know the health procedures by now, it can be easy to fall back into old habits. Strategically placed signage helps remind visitors to continue to follow recommended health procedures.
A-Frames
A-frame signs are a versatile form of signage that effectively command the attention of anyone nearby. These signs are durable and can be moved easily whenever needed. Because they are double-sided, you can position them to display your message to people approaching from either direction.
Our Wash Hands Often A-frame is an excellent way to remind visitors near sinks or restrooms to wash their hands. When visitors see these signs, they are not only reminded to wash their hands, but also to do so for at least 20 seconds. This extra reminder helps make sure that visitors do their part to stop the spread of germs.
Similar to the hand washing A-frame, the social distancing A-frame provides an effective reminder to maintain a safe distance from others within your organization. Unlike hand washing, social distancing is easier to forget to do because it’s an unfamiliar practice for humans. These social distancing signs work well when they are placed near the entrance to your location or near high-traffic areas.
Yard Signs
Oftentimes, the simpler the signage is, the more effective it is. Overdesigned signs with too much wording and color can distract viewers from the main message. Yard signs are an excellent example of the effectiveness of a straightforward design. These characteristics make yard signs an ideal tool to convey important messages like wash your hands and social distancing.
The social distancing yard sign is a must-have for businesses of all types. They are made from durable coroplast, making them suitable for outdoor use. Because they are an economical signage option, multiple signs can be placed outside every door of your location without breaking the bank.
Yard signs are a great way to remind people to wash their hands for all of the same reasons they are effective for social distancing. The simple design allows the message to stand out and reach anyone passing by. These signs can also be used indoors when you remove the metal H-stand that is included. They can be fastened to restroom walls and doors, or even placed in windows to reach people on the other side of the glass.
Floor Logos
Floor logos are very useful tools for organizations that want to promote mask-wearing and social distancing. According to a 2018 study, people generally look at the ground 50% of the time while walking on flat terrain. As you add foreign materials, like floor logos, people begin looking at the floor more often. Additionally, floor logos take up no physical space which can be beneficial in areas where there isn’t much space to place a different form of signage.
Our circular mask floor decal is an excellent way to encourage visitors to wear a mask. The contrasting color scheme helps the message stand out, especially when viewed on a floor. After four months of wearing a mask, we all know that we inadvertently remove them to talk or even to grab a breath of air. Placing these floor logos in various areas, rather than just at the entrance, reminds visitors to put their mask back on while they are inside your building.
Floor logos are perfect for social distancing signage. They not only remind visitors to maintain their 6-foot buffer zone from others, but can also ensure that they do so when they are installed in succession with proper spacing. If your organization has a cash register, front desk, or any other area where visitors form lines, social distancing floor logos are a crucial tool to keep your customers and employees safe.
Retractable Banner Stands
Retractable Banner Stands present a polished appearance that combines high-end appeal with simple assembly. Finished in anodized silver with heavy duty, molded end plates and swivel-out feet. Because Retractable Banner Stands have such a large display area, they can convey multiple messages without cluttering the design. Because of this, we designed them to promote both social distancing and mask wearing. We recommend positioning these stands in lobbies, waiting areas, and entryways to buildings. They not only help stop the spread of germs, but their polished look reinforces your organization’s professional appearance.
After four months of this pandemic, we have seen countless businesses across the country reopen only to be forced to close once again due to the re-emergence of COVID-19 within their business or in nearby locations. Signage that promotes healthy behavior not only helps to keep businesses open, but can also save lives.
