The Impact of COVID-19: Event Professionals Left in Limbo
It’s no secret that COVID-19 has presented unprecedented challenges for nearly every industry, and as event industry professionals, it’s safe to say that we’ve all experienced hardships that few could have ever anticipated experiencing in our lifetime.
Event professionals across the country, including our own team, were abruptly left in limbo wondering, “how do we move forward?”
After months that felt like they would never end, many events, including large-scale sporting events, are making a comeback; however, things look a little different than they used to. In times of such great uncertainty, the event industry has been forced to adapt in order to bring our communities back together in the safest ways possible.
We Eat Challenges for Breakfast
As the nationwide leader for game-changing event storage solutions serving events both big and small, facing a challenge head-on isn’t new for us.
We built The Mobile Locker Co. from the ground up after our founder and CEO, Molly O’Connor, experienced the frustration of lacking access to both secure and convenient storage for her personal items when attending road races as an avid runner. Our goal has always been to eliminate that challenge that impacts both event-goers and event professionals.
While it hasn’t been easy to build a business from scratch, we’ve gone from providing storage solutions to small road races to serving major league sports teams, and everything in between. It’s been a challenge, but frankly, we eat challenges for breakfast.
The Mobile Locker Co. & COVID-19: How We’ve Adapted
Needless to say, adapting to COVID-19 has been our greatest challenge yet. But just like every other challenge, we faced it head on with our mission at the forefront of every move we’ve made: to provide a seamless, personal, and convenient guest experience that alleviates challenges that face both event-goers and event professionals.
From our contact with our clients to the way we interact with event guests, we’ve thoughtfully and intentionally adapted every aspect of our set-up to ensure that the safety of those who choose to work with us are kept safe.
Here are the measures we’ve taken:
- Adhering to both federal and local government recommendations for sanitization and social distancing
- A touchless process that enables each guest to take advantage of our convenient storage solutions without the need to come in close contact with our team
- Each team member is required to wear and mask and has a temperature check prior to each event; if they present any symptoms, they are not allowed to work that particular event
- Limiting the number of guests who are able to enter the truck at one time to allow for easy social distancing
- All lockers are fully sanitized following CDC guidelines before, during, and after events
- Guests are offered hand sanitizer to use before and after accessing their lockers
- We’ve ensured our team never has a need to enter the stadium or event space at anytime, allowing event organizers to have better control over social distancing and additional safety guidelines of their event
