Like everything else this year Christmas 2020 is looking to be a very different experience from the usual festive season. From social distanced Santa’s grottos to online Christmas markets we will undoubtedly see a big change this year.
Given the current increase in UK Covid-19 cases, experts believe the six-person rule and curfews will be in place for some time, with the possibility of restrictions being extended further as the weather and temperature changes. Changes will need to be made across the board in order to celebrate within the new normal. Church services, pantomimes and the work’s ‘do’ will all need to be rewritten as we try to keep everybody safe this year. Christmas on zoom is looking like a real possibility.
One thing we do know at FASTSIGNS® Crawley is that planning is everything. We are already talking to a wide variety of customers about helping with their Christmas plan’s. Whatever industry your business operates in you will undoubtedly see a change in footfall this year, but at least there will not be a chair shortage at the Christmas dinner table.
We have been discussing ideas in which we can help your business prepare for the Christmas period and make sure you stay in touch with your customers this year. We hope these ideas may help you reinvent your Christmas plan’s.
Community Promotion.
Elevate your presence in the local community by encouraging the area to shop locally with you. Raise awareness of your business location using external signage communication such as banners or flags. Spread a little happiness and also Introduce yourself to new and existing customers using a seasonal message to the community.
Digital Communication
Introducing your company to visitors through this format is the way the future is looking. External digital displays are as versatile as internal and the connection possibilities are limitless. Christmas messages can be displayed from staff or senior management team’s to help bridge the social distancing gap.
QR Codes.
The QR code has made a massive comeback in our new touch free world. With the ability to store a wealth of information about your business they will undoubtedly be a key tool to showcase your product information.
Temporary Vinyl Graphics
Advertise your temporary opening hours or inject some holiday colour in shared spaces. Staff Christmas pictures in a virtual staff party on the wall or a seasonal backdrop for fun selfie pictures.
Christmas Gifts
Branded gifts are always a great way to thank customers and remind them of your business. The top choices this year will be safety solutions such as branded masks or sanitizer. But why not look at offering a custom Christmas card with a QR code offering discounts, or a branded advent calendar.
