However: now that you've thrown open your doors again and are welcoming customers into your premises, chances are you might identity social distancing products you need to stock up on (such as branded face masks or signage to display on till points).

Similarly, you might visit another shop and find yourself impressed by the promotional social distancing items they've implemented into their store layout or by little details, such as the social distancing badges the staff might be wearing or the easy-read social distancing wall posters.

Either way, Total Merchandise has got you covered, with many of our social distancing products available for dispatch in five working days or less. Whether you want to stock up on branded face masks or perhaps invest in a touch-free hand sanitiser dispenser, we're here to help.
