In this blog, our Director Dawn Rogers discusses the impact that Covid-19 has had on the industry and what the future could look like for branded merchandise, especially in regards to the ways in which businesses will be utilising this powerful tool.
Have you started planning ahead for your future campaigns and projects? With the Covid-19 pandemic, it has never been so important to ensure you are planning ahead well in advance and considering every eventuality.
As you prepare to return to work and start sourcing vital PPE to provide to your staff, have you considered how you can utilise face masks as an opportunity to represent your brand, whilst continuing to be sustainable? With the Government guidance on wearing masks on public transport, if your teams will be commuting into work, providing them with a pack of essential supplies to protect them whilst on the move is a great way to show them you care.
Reusable cups and bottles have become considered somewhat of a ‘staple’ when businesses are looking at what branded products they want to purchase and for good reason. They offer a variety of benefits from helping to create a sense of belonging for staff and helping to reflect your green agenda, to being a useful handout for prospects who are likely to use it on a daily basis, helping to boost brand recognition. Can they now be utilised to help businesses overcome the new challenges that will be presented as a result of Covid-19?
We have previously discussed some of the key considerations to help ensure your workplace is prepared and safe. It is also important that you are looking at how you will re-engage your clients and prospects and communicate any new changes you have implemented as a result of Covid19.
With plans to be announced soon for how the nation will be returning back to work following the Covid19 lockdown, now is a crucial time for your business to begin planning ahead for how you will be able to operate safely and protect both your staff and clients.
How are you continuing to engage with your clients, prospects and employees during the current pandemic? Branded kits and packs are the perfect solution to help you continue supporting your employees and clients and increase your brand exposure, despite the current challenges. We have been working with clients to help them achieve this, creating a variety of bespoke kits and packs which we have then sent out directly to their clients, delegates and employees at home. Due to the success of these kits, we thought it would be great to share and discuss the variety of bespoke kitting options we can offer.
Throughout the pandemic, there has been a clear need for PPE and in particular face masks. We understand the struggle that many businesses with frontline workers have had in accessing a regular supply of quality goods at this crucial equipment. At JDR, we have been working with suppliers to source this equipment and have a new product available: reusable face masks.
With the current pandemic forcing many businesses to change how they operate and put increased measures in place to protect both their employees and clients, we have been working alongside our clients to support them in continuing to operate safely.
With the majority of people now working from home, we have designed a bespoke branded banner for you to use when video conferencing, holding a webinar, or joining an online networking group. Use our banner backdrops to create the right environment when speaking to clients, colleagues, contacts, and prospects. You may want to move the conversation online but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise your brand message.
