These days many people are still wearing face masks to protect others. Even if they’ve had their COVID vaccines, they can still carry the virus and pass it on to others. The vaccine is not foolproof and some who are vaccinated may still get mild infections. So, masks may be required in certain types of establishments for a long time to come.
The need to wear masks in public or in certain businesses makes it a perfect opportunity for local businesses to take advantage of, in terms of marketing and branding opportunities. Branded face masks can be purchased with company logos or names, to promote the business in public. Wearers, who are usually employees or their family members, can wear them everywhere they go and can help spread awareness of what the business does and what it has to offer.
Many manufacturers have several solid colors and prints available for businesses to order. Masks can be made in cotton, cotton blend, polyester, and microfiber fabrics. when considering the type of masks to order, think about what employees will prefer. Some will want cotton because it is more breathable and comfortable. Others may not care. If you want all employees and managers to wear the masks in public, they should be comfortable and attractive.
Look for masks with washable fabrics and adjustable ear bands or straps. If your employees take masks home for their children to wear, you will want to order different sizes as well. If your company uses certain colors, you will want to find a company that can match those colors.
You will want to find out whether the manufacturer has a certain minimum order. Some will require and order of 25. Others will require a minimum of 200 masks. If your business is very small with a few employees, this a small order may be the best way to go. With larger orders, prices can be as low as $1 for each mask.
But, you must also consider that employees will want at least a couple masks to change from one day to the next, because they should be washed frequently. Employees may have children, spouses, or friends who are also willing to wear the masks with your company logo. You may even be able to give some away to business partners or neighbors as well. This will increase exposure of your business to the public tremendously. Branded face masks are a great way to increase exposure and brand awareness.
