Advice from Cleaner Retail, the new one-stop-shop to help retailers create a sanitised environment for safer shopping.

 

Many retailers may be beginning to consider how they will tackle reopening once the government enforced lockdown eases. However, knowing where to start and ensuring compliance is causing confusion and stress for many.

Help is at hand with the launch of the new Cleaner Retail online store; a store designed to cut through the noise and provide retailers with everything they need to create a sanitised retail environment. One that will enable them to reopen and stay open, whilst also protecting staff and customers.

 

 

 

The importance of signage

The government has set out clear guidelines regarding the use of signage in that it must be used for the flow of customers and to reinforce social distancing parameters.

From social distancing floor markers to hygiene reminders, signage is essential in promoting those key components that will enable retailers to be deemed compliant and therefore able to reopen.

It is also important that any signage is fit for purpose. For example, it needs to be both weatherproof and UV stable. Cleaner Retail’s range of signage is available for immediate delivery. Plus, much of it can be bespoke printed with a retailer’s logo for brand consistency throughout a store.

Commenting is Cleaner Retail’s managing director, Scott Thomas. “Signage is the first thing retailers think of when considering a return to work. It is certainly crucial to getting stores open once again. That is why we have created a comprehensive portfolio of products under our ‘Direct’ banner.

“However, signage is just the first step of many. At Cleaner Retail we’ve done the necessary research to ensure we offer everything retailers need to be compliant, as well as protecting both staff and customers. We’re also working with our customers to add more lines and products that meet demand and fulfil individual needs.”

Simplifying screening

When we think of protective screens, our first thought may be till fronts. However, did you know that screening should also be considered for high footfall areas? For instance, queuing areas, multi-directional merchandising displays, entrances and exits.

In most cases, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all protective screen solution. Instead, fixings need to accommodate a range of materials whilst sizes range depending on location. With Cleaner Retail’s screen options there are solutions for all screening needs, including both exterior and interior applications.

What’s more, each of Cleaner Retail’s UK manufactured screens has a two-year guarantee. Each protective screen also comes complete with a full fixing kit, meaning it can be quickly and easily installed.

Thomas offers a word of warning to retailers, however; encouraging them to start thinking about their protective screening needs sooner rather than later.

“As so many retailers will have bespoke protective screen requirements, we will need to manufacture to order to ensure the correct fit and maximum efficiency. As a result, screening orders will take longer to be fulfilled. This additional time needs to be considered now if retailers want to be ready in time for when an anticipated easing of lockdown may occur.”
