And why Touchshield™ is the product you should choose. 

According to recent detailed studies undertaken by Simon-Kucher & Partners for QSR Magazine, "restaurant visit criteria has changed thanks to COVID-19. Maybe for good." Sanitation standards were found to repeatedly hit high in the list of consumer expectations and was identified as a top purchase criteria over any previous period. 

The study continued to identify that "customers placing a high value on sanitation standards offers a different competitive dimension after COVID" with consumers indicating that they would 'spend twice as much per month with restaurants that meet cleanliness standards".

But it's not just hospitality heading into this 'new normal'. Businesses among all sectors are realising the importance of marketing their hygiene measures in a post COVID world with Entrepreneur Magazine identifying that brands may 'lose out on business' to competitors if they don't. 

Touchshield™ antimicrobial protective film has been designed with consumer confidence in mind. The distinctive watermark provides a unique way for brands to set themselves apart, reassuring customers that hygiene is their number one priority. 

Skift.com has reported that cleanliness is "top of mind for hotel companies looking to win back market share coming out of Coronavirus shutdowns" but that "post-pandemic cleaning regimes come at a hefty price". It was estimated that new cleaning protocols could "collectively cost the hotel industry as much as $9 billion each year due to higher frequency cleaning". 

Touchshield™ anti-microbial protective film delivers up to 6 months of antibacterial and antiviral protection per application, eliminating the need for stringent and increased sanitizing regimes and saving money.
