Reasons To Be Cheerful, Post Pandemic

There are many reasons to be cheerful post-pandemic as the unlocking process continues and life, business and leisure activities return to a new “normal “ state, clearly many people have lost huge amounts from their homes, businesses and even lives. However, the optimistic view is that we’re probably over the worst of what could have been the biggest catastrophe in a lifetime and pressing ahead to forge a new and prosperous future.
The sign industry was particularly hard hit in some sectors, such as retail, hospitality and sporting arenas, but some social distancing and safety signage areas boomed, with unprecedented volumes of FLOOR GRAPHICS being printed for supermarkets and the Nightingale hospital signage created a new market. Whilst most of the population was locked down, some of the non-essential key workers took the opportunity, whilst furloughed, to learn new skills to earn an additional income stream some examples are printing, car wrapping and home crafting businesses grew exponentially.

Some entrepreneurial spirited sign makers started using their cutting and printing machines to produce customised garments and workwear, which is a vast market from branded shirts to hen night and BIRTHDAY T-Shirts

Whilst being confined indoors some sign makers decided to enter the HOME DECORATION market and start producing wall art , either printed or cut, this is an interesting Vogue design employing MATT BLACK ORACAL 631 and Gloss red ORACAL 651 vinyl, some really innovative sign makers got creative in their own HOME OFFICES producing motivational and mission statements.

During the lockdown, there was an opportunity to tackle all, or some of those, jobs that just never got completed like the full restoration including vinyl graphics of a motor home that would be ready to use when released from lockdown, but still isolated from hotels whilst on staycation.

Some of the established wrappers and sign makers expanded the services that they were offering such as window tinting for vehicles, offices and domestic settings. Also, a very good profit centre is HEADLIGHT Tinting utilising the superb ORACAL 8300 which is available in many colours, not just limited to light or dark grey!

De-Chroming and using AVERY SUPREME carbon fibre to enhance details on a vehicle is a popular technique or the reverse of that where the client feels more bling or chrome detailing is required, then AVERY SUPREME WRAPPING FILM has some great solutions.
