In summer, winter, spring and autumn, when the bright days of the sun feel positive and the future feels hopeful. It’s no wonder when the sun comes out, we want to be too. Help your customers practice sun protection while being at the center of our solar system all year round. Creating a meaningful connection with customers often involves helping. Go the extra mile by spreading the word (and a branded gift or two) about how to protect yourself from the sun. Below are some sun protection tips to keep in mind while enjoying the sun and promoting your small business.
What is most important for sun safety?
Looking for sun safety tips that really work? According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association1Here’s how to protect yourself from the sun:
- Cover with smart clothing: With lots of light, stylish sun protection shirts, shorts and leggings, you can protect your kids and yourself while having fun. Most sun protection clothing includes a UPF of 50 (Ultraviolet Protection Factor).
- Shade and sit on it, too: Whether a tree, umbrella, or a wide brimmed hat, finding shade is a smart pursuit. If your shadow is smaller than yours, it means the sun is the strongest and the shadow is especially helpful.
- Go overboard at sea: Water, snow and sand reflect the sun and increase the risk of sun damage. Use extra protection when you’re on the beach, skiing or sunbathing.
- Apply sunscreen anyway: Use a water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher that provides broad-spectrum protection (protection from UVA and UVB rays)
When is the sun the strongest?
The sun’s rays are strongest between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm
What are the most popular sun activities?
If you are planning an employee outing, a client reunion or special event, note the most popular events for sun seekers2:
- Going to the park for games, picnics or barbecue
- Going to the pool or the beach
- Walking or hiking
Please recommend a gift that puts sun protection first
