Purple Tuesday is an annual national campaign aimed at getting us to think about the needs of disabled people as customers and how we can change their customer experience.
Did you know that in the UK a fifth of the population have a disability? And together with their families and friends, disabled people have a spending power valued at £274 billion!
Primarily focused on retail - but also vital for any business that sells online - Purple Tuesday promotes those businesses who have made a public commitment to change their customer service approach for disabled customers.
Led by Purple.com’s Chief Executive Mike Adams, Purple Tuesday highlights the commercial value of doing the right thing for customers with disabilities.
Hosted by Devon & Plymouth Chamber of Commerce Chamber Live will introduce a panel of business people who can share their experience of catering to the Purple Pound market and practical tips to help make your business more accessible too. (It’s easier than you might think!).
Joining us will be:
Sue Windley from the Be Ready Employer Hub who will explain how to make your shopping experiences more accessible for everyone - how to attract those loyal customers who spend £3640 online each year!
Dave Wilkinson from Smyths Toys
Sean Gibson from Drake Circus (British Land)
Plus there will be time at the end for questions and networking to explore ideas of what you can do to access the Purple Pound’s spending power of £274 billion!
Our Chamber Live virtual panel sessions provide the business community with expert advice on topics impacting on organisations through the Covid-19 pandemic and recovery. The interactive format gives you the opportunity to ask questions of panellists about your own specific situations.
