Outdoor logo mats. They’re everywhere, right?

Businesses proudly display their logo, catch mud off your boots, and maybe even add a pop of color to your porch. But there’s more to these trusty floor guardians than meets the eye. Let’s delve into the often-overlooked superpowers of outdoor logo mats with stats and insights that’ll make you see them in a new light.

 

 

Superpower #1: Brand Guardian, But Budget Hero

Custom Outdoor Custom Logo matSure, everyone knows logo mats showcase your brand. But did you know they can actually save you money? Studies by the National Floor Safety Institute show that entrance mats can reduce tracked-in dirt and debris by up to 70%. That means less wear and tear on your floors and fewer costly cleanings. A study by the American Hotel & Lodging Association found that hotels with logo mats reported a 15% decrease in cleaning costs. Not bad for a welcome mat, right?

 

 

Superpower #2: The Accidental Safety Superhero

Research by the National Safety Council reveals that 52% of slip-and-fall accidents happen in non-industrial settings, often due to wet or dirty floors. Outdoor logo mats with good scraping surfaces can reduce the risk of slips and falls by up to 50%, keeping your guests, customers, and even family safe. That’s a stat worth shouting about.

 

 

Superpower #3: Eco-Warrior in Disguise
