Wearing masks and gloves has become the new norm and according to one survey, consumers want to see that a business is following COVID-19 safety standards.
The digital marketing company OneLocal surveyed over one thousand people and found four out of five respondents wouldn’t enter a small business unless it complied with safety regulations.
It also found 89 per cent want those regulations publicly posted. “People are looking for reassurance. A lot of the education has fallen to small businesses for them to tell consumers what they should be looking out for,” said OneLocal’s Director of Operations, Maggie McIntyre. “Consumers like being able to see very easily on a website what the business is doing before they even approach the business.”
