Workplace Trends: Touchdown Spaces

The New Work Trend: Touchdown Spaces

In today’s workplace, touchdown spaces are the new trend. If employees are coming into the office, they expect to get something out of it, so the office must be both comfortable and productive. However, what this means can vary by employee. Some employees may need a space to collaborate with their team, while others may need a calm place to focus solely on their work. Depending on the nature of their work, a lounge could bring comfort to one employee while another may need the privacy that a workstation or cubicle could provide.

What is a Touchdown Space?

A touchdown space can be a private room, lounge space, conference room or collaborative area. The main goal of a this space is that the employee can use it to easily work from their laptop away from an assigned desk. A touchdown space allows employees to quickly respond to emails or make a call in-between meetings or other tasks. With an on-the-go workforce, traditional assigned spaces are being replaced by more touchdown spaces that are activity-oriented and results-driven.

How To Create Productive Spaces

As an employer, you want your employees to be efficient and perform their best. As you think through your office furniture and space, think of ways to incorporate touchdown spaces into your design:

Computer with a phone charging on top of it.

Waiting Areas

Waiting typically wastes time, but it doesn’t have to with touchdown spaces. Make it more than just a set of seats by integrating power plugins to recharge devices, as well as tables or desks guests and employees can use to easily work on their computers.

Dedicated Touchdown Space Outside of Conference Rooms

Waiting for a meeting space also can waste time, especially when meetings go on longer than expected. Give your employees the opportunity to be productive while they wait by outfitting the areas near conference rooms with touchdown spaces.

Private Rooms or Booths

Sometimes, employees need more privacy. Consider creating areas for small confidential meetings or personal phone calls. Furniture and chairs that easily fit all shapes and sizes allow for quick use of space without major adjustments.

Modular and Flexible Furniture

Flexible options that allow for easy collaboration are key. Furniture that can be easily moved around a space allows colleagues to work together effectively, no matter what tasks they are looking to accomplish.

Protect Against Cold and Flu with Preventative Action

Cold & Flu Season is Back

Fall is here, and that means pumpkins, Halloween and Thanksgiving events. Unfortunately, in addition to the beautiful weather, fall is also cold & flu season.

Cold and flu season has started and now more than ever, it is critical to have the correct solutions to prevent the spread of viruses. Prevent and combat the spread of these common viruses throughout your facilities with a few products and tools to sanitize and disinfect.

Remember, cleaners are not always germ killers. They remove dirt, dust, stains, and grease from a surface. If you are looking to kill germs, you will need a disinfectant and/or sanitizer. Sanitizing reduces the bacteria on a surface (specific bacteria listed on the product) while disinfecting destroys both bacteria and viruses on hard nonporous surfaces.

Improve Workplace Health & Stop the Spread of the Flu

Encourage your employees to get their flu vaccine
Develop policies that encourage employees to telework so that they can care of themselves and their families
Provide resources and information on risk factors of the flu and who might be at high risk for flu complications
Provide products and resources that promote preventive action against the flu

WOW Items for Preventative Action

One of the best ways to improve workplace health is to provide products that promote preventative action against the flu and other bacteria and viruses for those employees that are in the office. Looking to help those at home as well? A few of these items can be sent in an employee care package as well!

Electrostatic Sprayers

The traditional spray & wipe method is not the most efficient disinfecting method when it comes to larger spaces, oddly shaped surfaces, or hard to reach areas. Studies have shown that the electrostatic disinfecting process is quick and highly efficient due to the full, even coverage it offers. The positively charged disinfectant allows it to stick to the surface you want disinfected, wasting less product.

The Victory Electrostatic sprayer comes in a handheld and backpack option. Our favorite product to refill them with is Diversey Oxivir TB One-Step Disinfectant Cleaner.

If you are looking to buy a locally made option, we are loving these backpack and handheld sprayers by EI Solutions:

Disinfecting Wipes

Disinfecting wipes are something you should always have in stock at your facilities. Both Lysol and Clorox manufacture wipes that are effective in both cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.

Hand Sanitizer

From hand sanitizer dispensers and stations to individual kits, there are many sanitizing options to choose from to fit your office needs.

Why Buy Promotional Products? An In-Depth Study

Why should I give away branded freebies?

A recent study by the Advertising Specialty Institute finds that promotional products are the most high-impact, cost-effective advertising medium around for their clients. The findings in this study are based on thousands of in-person and online surveys taken by consumers in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and parts of Europe. This survey answers questions about promotional products’ reach, consumers’ perceptions of them and how branded products influence buying decisions and products’ impact on consumer opinions of the advertiser.

U.S. consumers were asked which promo products they currently owned. Promotional items are defined as items that have an advertiser’s logo and/or message on them, that are usually given away for free by companies to consumers.

Promotional pens and drinkware are widely owned by consumers across the United States, nearly 9 in 10 consumers report owning each. In fact, most categories of promotional products are owned by more than half of consumers!

The study also reveals some interesting information about impressions made by each product. The number of impressions a product makes was derived from multiplying how long a recipient has the product by how many people they come in contact when using it by the frequency of its usage. In the U.S., outerwear generates the most impressions (6,100) of any item measured in the study. This is because outerwear is often worn in public places where it can be seen by many people. Other items that deliver a large number of impressions are headwear, T-shirts, bags and writing instruments.

Promo products are the most highly regarded form of advertising, beating out traditional standbys like newspaper, magazine, internet, radio & television advertising. Consumers are about 2.5x more likely to favor promo products over internet advertising. Surveyers also asked respondents how many promotional products they owned. The results indicate the average household in the United States owns 30 promo items! Talk about reach! You can read the full study here.

Print Ready Artwork – Vector Files

Preparing print ready artwork to be used on printed materials and promotional products can be confusing. We can help you get your files ready for print, convert your current artwork to a vector file, or even create artwork for you.*

In this series of blog posts, we will explain what type of artwork is needed and why to help you understand a little more about the printing process.

First, there are many different types of printing processes and each process requires a certain type of artwork. For this post, we will discuss only one type of printing.

The type of printing (for example, screen printing) used for most promotional products like t-shirts, hats, cups, large signs, or any other non-paper product requires a vector to be considered print ready artwork. Embroidered items also generally require a vector file. If you have vector artwork already, great! If not, we can help you.

What is a vector file?

A vector is a type of file that can be expanded to any size without becoming pixelated or blurred. Here is an example of a vector file compared with a raster file:

How do I know if my file is a raster or a vector?

First, where did you get the file? If it came from a webpage or social media, it is most likely not a vector. Next, look at the file extension (the letters after the period in the name of the file.) If it is .ai, .eps or .pdf it could possibly be a vector. If it is a .jpg, .doc, .png, .gif, or .bmp it is not a vector file.

If it is an .ai, .eps, or .pdf, it could still be a raster file. Confused yet? Don’t worry. If you are ordering promotional products, simply send us your file and we can let you know what type of file it is.

I still don’t understand. Why won’t my picture from the internet work for printing?

Most printing methods only use vector files. Furthermore, even if they did use other file types, the printing would look terrible. We don’t want to sell you something that doesn’t look absolutely amazing!

What do I do if I don’t have a vector file of my logo?

Ask your marketing department if they have a vector file, or contact the graphic designer who created your logo for the vector file.

If no vector is available, we can re-create a vector file for you in most cases. Please note that this is a manual process that can take a lot of time depending on the artwork. We will let you know how long it will take and if there will be a charge for this service.

Can’t I just save my file as a .ai or .eps to make it a vector?

Unfortunately, no. It will still not be a vector and will not be print ready artwork.

None of this makes any sense. How do I get print ready artwork when I don’t understand any of this?

No worries! Give us a call at 918-252-4100

*there may be an artwork fee depending on the amount of work involved. We will provide an estimate before beginning any work if a fee is involved.
