RouteArrows Are Going to School
To help schools and school districts, we created a new page on our site specifically for schools so that they can learn about RouteArrows and easily request a quote for a PO! Schools face many challenges when planning for safe reopening. RouteArrows are easy to use, eco-friendly, peel-and-stick paper stickers, sized 12" long x 3" wide, and are sold on rolls of 250.

2020: Year of the Schools
Early this year we watched the athletic events universe dwindle to a mere trickle. We’re now seeing RouteArrows being utilized by schools of all types to help guide people in and around their campuses. Historically, many schools have used RouteArrows for their athletic events and now they’re creatively using them as a simple and easy guidance method during Covid-19. Spark Notes: In 2020, over 100 schools in 20 states have utilized RouteArrows! Seven school districts have placed orders as well as 14 Colleges / Universities. Almost all of the orders have been for “Covid Guiding and Directions”. We’ve had multiple...

RouteArrows Needs Your Help
Hello RouteArrows Family, Cutting to the chase, we need your help if RouteArrows is going to survive. Earlier this year, RouteArrows sales were on pace to be a record-setting year, then the pandemic pulled the rug out from under everyone. Events of every kind have been impacted, either being postponed or just cancelled. We are deeply saddened that many events will not return. Roslyn and I have been able to create a small stream of new customers (farmers markets, construction and offices, etc.) needing social distancing protocol arrow stickers, but sadly, it has not been enough. We ask that if...
Tape to the Rescue?
Many kinds of tape are being used by businesses around the world to quickly convey how people can stay safe. As Berny Tan of @tape_measures states, using tape to make symbols can be “an efficient way of communicating without using words”. We completely agree, simple is better! We also believe that color is a great way to communicate as well. Most humans know that red means stop and green means go - many well trained animals know that too! RouteArrows work for two reasons: their bright colors grab people's attention and their simple shape conveys the direction. Simple, no words...
