Free use of 16 different Covid-19 safety measure/social distancing posters

Spring Marketing are currently providing garden centres with a range of 16 FREE poster designs communicating the safety measures they are putting in place for their customers and staff in preparation for reopening again.

 

Their designs allow for own branding and personalisation with changes to content as garden centres require. All free of charge using the base design artwork they have produced which gives the individual garden centres autonomy over their own communications with their customers in their store than what they can access elsewhere. 

 

See the designs available here: http://www.springmarketing.co.uk/branding/garden-centres-under-review-for-reopening/

 

With many staff furloughed at the garden centres they may not now have the resource to do this themselves as they had before and within the timeframe needed. This could save them the time, thought and cost they may incur to organise themselves otherwise.

 

For garden centres it’s as easy as 1 2 3…just send an email to vanessa@springmarketing.co.uk with:

  1. Your logo
  2. Specific changes to details for the measures you choose and designs you would like
  3. Largest size of posters required, A1- A5  (they are scalable from that)

Vannessa told GTN Xtra: "We will send you a download link to all of your posters chosen in a print ready format for you to print off immediately, in A1 to A5 format.

 

"We are currently producing posters within 1 day of receiving the information by email, including weekends, this might change according to requests, so first come, first serve – don’t miss out, let us help now!

 

"We have worked in the garden centre industry supporting independent garden centre owners and managers since 2006. It is a big part of our client network and we hope they will be reopening as quickly and safely as possible soon. We are pleased to support this fantastic industry who are facing a hugely challenging time during the Covid-19 social distancing restrictions more than we have ever known before. By offering our design services freely at this challenging trading time for them is our part in helping an industry whose business with us has been instrumental in growing Spring Marketing and our learning over the last 14 years."
