So, now what? How do you bounce back post COVID-19? We attended an excellent webinar yesterday and wanted to share the presenter’s thoughts with you. Lisa Ratanprasad is a Public Relations Manager in Toronto with one of our key vendors. As she explained, there are four top areas you should be thinking about now, regardless of where you are at in your planning or execution of bouncing back from “The Great Pause.” They are:
Client Communication
- Announcing new hours of operation
- Providing instructions and signage to facilitate social distancing
- Communicating to clients how you are following healthy hygiene guidelines to reassure them. People are nervous.
- Creating incentives to welcome clients back and communicating those to them. Perhaps a direct mail piece is in order?
Education
- Instructing employees about proper health and safety precautions
- Providing written literature to clients with important health & safety information or company changes to your policies
Employee Protection
- Providing personal protective equipment to essential front-line workers
- Instructing clients to keep and maintain a safe distance from employees
Product Labeling
- Providing product health & safety information including ingredients, handling procedures, etc.
- Indicating that your business takes health & safety precautions when handling products
- Showing off safety certifications on products that you may carry
If this seems daunting, the team at MOBO can help you with all of these key components as you prepare to bounce back post COVID-19. As an example, here is how we can assist a few different industries with these core messages using effective products from our line:
Retail or Food & Beverage Establishments

- Plexi-glass barriers
- Health & hygiene decals with instructions for proper hygiene practices

- Waiting room posters
- Pamphlets for patients to carry home
