Warmer days are officially coming - and as lockdown restrictions across the country slowly begin to lift, now's the perfect time to think about how you can generate positive brand awareness among your customers over the spring and summer.

And of course, the appeal isn't limited just to those who are preparing to see friends for the first time in a while. Rather, these staycation essentials can also prove hugely practical to couples and families who are thinking ahead to a whole summer of fun.

What Are The New Guidelines For Meeting Other People Outdoors?

As of March 29th 2021, the government's Coronavirus 'roadmap' has updated to allow for more in the way of outdoors interactions with friends and family.

The updates include:

Gatherings of up to six people - or two households - are now permitted outdoors
These gatherings are allowed to take place in public spaces (such as parks) as well as in private gardens
Outdoor sports facilities, such as tennis courts and football pitches, are permitted to reopen

Indoor gatherings and indoor sports are still no longer permitted, although these rules should lift as the roadmap progresses.

So with that in mind, it's safe to imagine that your staff and customers might have plans to meet up with friends and family outdoors over the coming weeks and months, whether it's for:

An intimate staff gathering, such as a team picnic or group walk
A family BBQ in a back garden
A catch-up with friends in the park or at the beach

Whatever those most important to your business have got planned, there are some no-fuss ways you can help them have a great time and ensure your business is at the heart of the action, ensuring your customers are comfortable, content and even protected from those sun rays.
