Memorial Day is just around the corner. The day gives us a chance to stop and reflect, remembering those that died while serving in our country’s armed forces. Although it’s a somber holiday, it does also represent the start of the summer season, which brings joy in the midst of sadness. People often celebrate by gathering with friends, running a marathon (like the BolderBoulder here in Colorado) or hosting a backyard barbeque. The last Monday of May also signifies the first day that many swimming pools open. (At least in states where it’s not summery all year round.)
Parks & Rec departments across the nation are gearing up for their busy season. If you want to start your summer off with a splash, make sure to stock up on these necessities. These items will help you keep the fun going and will please even the most seasoned pool-goers!
Color Ribbons
Brighten up your membership cards by installing new color ribbons in your printers. High quality, color photos will make a lasting impression on your guests, ensuring that their summer fun doesn’t fade.
Wristband Coils
These colorful coils are not only functional, they’re pretty too! They make it easy for visitors to show their cards, helping them to get the fun started faster. No one can complain about that!
Slot Punches
A well-oiled slot punch is what ties the whole package together. This useful gadget allows you to put a hole in a membership card, allowing the user to attach it to a lanyard, keychain or wristband coil.
Having the right products in place ensures that your pool or rec center can operate efficiently. Well-crafted membership cards will make your guests happy and help you stay on top of your game and keep up with the busy summer season. How are you preparing to kick off the summer on Memorial Day?
