Mind The Gap: businesses missing the mark on COVID-19 - safety measures for customers
Businesses across Europe and Africa are adapting to meet customer expectations in relation to safety measures. Failure to achieve these will negatively impact customer feelings of safety, impacting footfall and potentially hit profits hard. This is the overarching finding of a recent survey carried out by MSPA Europe/Africa during July as lockdown measures continue to ease across many countries.
The survey evaluated the experiences members of the general public when visiting 7.000 locations ranging from shops, supermarkets, car dealers, fast food and dining establishments. Based on the principles of COVID transmission prevention, findings were split out into performance on sanitisation, signage, staff and customer social distancing and PPE. Respondents were asked about their resultant feeling of safety and likelihood to return to the places they visited.
The findings show varying gaps in compliance to local government guidelines with a potential health impact and a definite impact on consumer confidence and advocacy levels.
