Have you heard about "Purple Tuesday"?
We wanted to write a blog post talking about this international call to action. The main objective of Purple Tuesday in the UK is to celebrate the Purple Pound, focused on changing the customer experience for disabled people.
Across the UK, the Purple Pound - the consumer spending power of disabled people and their families - is worth £249 billion. Let us just say that again…. £249 BILLION!
Purple Tuesday is about creating awareness of the needs of disabled customers, and making the customer experience accessible, all year round, not just for one day.
Whether you are a large multinational or a family-run business, you will always want to deliver a good customer experience, for all your customer base. With such spending power, it was be an unwise business that chooses to ignore the Purple Pound.
If you want to implement positive changes to improve the customer experience for your disabled clients, there are many ways you can do this for little to no cost.
Let us show you how….
