Home related graphics for people stuck at home with time on their hands and urge to renovate/remodel

Not graphic related:

Baby sitting for all of those healthcare workersand those still employed outside home with kids no longer in school
Housekeeping/disinfecting healthcare/nursing home/other business still open to public (hotel housekeeping being laid off)

For those of us who remember this song from actual air time instead of Cheech and Chong, these new guys have been as viral since day #1:

CorelDRAW is best
Chick Fil-A, various shopping centers, hospitals, nursing homes have all ordered signage that's Covid-19 related.

Yeah plenty room for making this situation into some money. We just got a huge roller banner order for loads of hospitals with COVID-19 info.

Probably a lot of luck needed here though, or need to have already created the relationships to get such orders.

All you older member do you remember the ultraviolet lamps at hospital entrances, did they claim they killed germs, why did they get rid of them?

A lot of those were for pest control...and they're still at our local WalMart. They basically attract the insects with the UV light and they trap them with a sticky board.

Believe it or not....many barbershops have a sanitizing UV lamp under their counter where they store the clippers, combs and the like.

Sales Opportunities- absolutely.

So here is what I am thinking. All restaurants in Colorado have had to close their dining rooms, and moving to take out.

Lets "look around the corner" and anticipate what these businesses will need - I anticipate simple traffic signs where to pull up, pay etc

My heating guy told me yesterday they still sell them but they are now in the filtration system. His buddy in Milwaukee sold 600 of them over the last week. Sold out.

Keep going guys. There's plenty of business out there, you just need to beat down the door. Get on the phone and let them know you are still open for business.

If you get ahold of a restaurant manager that hasn't has spent the last 2 days worrying about how he was going to transition his staff to delivery drivers, he may not have considered signage or marketing yet. If you call in that moment of panic and have a nice solution and a calm voice, you'll win the business. Solve problems for your customers and you'll win.

It's going to be ok. We'll get through this!
