BID's new Harrogate Welcomes You initiative as town centre reopens

A pavement sticker for social distancing - part of Harrogate BID's new "Harrogate Welcomes You initiative.

The “Harrogate Welcomes You” pack – which are free to all businesses within the BID district and have been created by De-Signs and Skinny Design – contain:

1 x window graphic

6 x posters

Harrogate BID's new "Harrogate Welcomes You" campaign.

6 x 2m apart floor stickers

6 x two feet floor stickers

Whilst the posters encourage the washing or sanitising of hands regularly and to keep doorways clear so people can enter and exit safely, the floor stickers are a reminder of the 2m distancing social distancing rule.

Harrogate BID Interim Manager Simon Kent said: “We have used the slogan ‘Harrogate Welcomes You’ which is a simple, yet powerful, message which we believe will strike a chord with businesses and customers alike.

“With the town gradually coming back to life in the next couple of weeks, these packs will be available, free of charge, for all businesses within the BID district.

“They have been designed to work in any businesses environment, be it shops or offices, and as well as reminding people what they should be doing to minimise the risk of contracting Covid-19, they include the strong welcoming message.”

Businesses who would like a pack are asked to email [email protected] before Thursday, June 4, with their requirements.
