Christchurch Business Recovery

Christchurch cathedral after the february earthquake

For most of Christchurch and areas of Canterbury the world changed, almost in an instant, at 12:51pm on 22 February.  The struggle now is to move ahead through the rubble and start to rebuild our homes, communities and city.  At the heart of our recovery is the regeneration of our business community, to start working in a positive direction in whatever way we can.  Precision offers the following ideas to assist businesses to retain customers and build towards a new economic future.

Signage

Where access is available to destroyed premises, or a soon as you can get in to the ‘Red Zone’, place a sign giving your new location and/or a contact phone number.  You should consider a large sign as people will most probably be driving by rather than walking.

Also place a prominent sign at your new location to tell the public that you are OPEN FOR BUSINESS … if you can give both signs a common look or colour this will make it easier for your customers to find you.

There are many signage options available, talk to Precision for some helpful advice.

Stationery

At this time there is great uncertainty about what the future will hold.

For example, how temporary will your temporary accommodation be, will you be able to move back in to your old premises or forced to move to a new, permanent, location?

There are so many permutations and possible timelines that this is not a period to make a firm decision about printing the essential company communication items you need to get your business up and running.  Precision’s digital printing facility is the perfect answer as we can produce small runs of your Business Cards, Letterheads, Invoices, Compliment Slips, etc, for a very economical cost.  Simply select a quantity which will keep you operating for the foreseeable future, by which time your situation may have changed, or we can print another small run for you.

If you don’t have your files available, bring along a sample and our talented team will reproduce the item(s) for you … and then keep the new files in our archive system so they will be readily available in the future.

Promotional Material

Again, as with your stationery, digital print is an excellent choice as it allows you to run off only the quantity you require for immediate use.  Also, depending upon the files you supply, we can change copy and contact details with each print run, which will keep all your flyers, brochures, catalogues, etc, looking pristine and up to date.

If you have a copy of your customer database then we can design and print a personalised postcard, letter or flyer to each one of them to provide them with all the latest information about your business.  Keeping people informed through these hectic and disturbed times will bring you loyal customers in the future.

Your company may be able to offer a unique service or product which will be of great assistance to the people of Canterbury.  Our sales, design and production teams will be happy to discuss this kind of project with you and offer our talents and facilities to see it through to a successful conclusion.
