What is Purple Tuesday and Why It Matters
Purple Tuesday is an annual initiative dedicated to improving the customer experience for disabled people by encouraging businesses and organisations to become more inclusive and accessible. The day emphasises the importance of recognising and addressing the challenges faced by disabled customers and highlights how inclusive practices benefit everyone.
Purple Tuesday is more than just a day; it’s a movement that promotes accessibility and inclusivity. At Purpl, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to shop, save, and enjoy their shopping experiences without barriers. Purple Tuesday shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked needs of disabled shoppers, encouraging businesses to create an accessible and welcoming environment for everyone.
For customers with disabilities, shopping can be challenging. Barriers like difficult-to-navigate websites, lack of adaptive technology, or physical inaccessibility can turn a simple shopping trip into a frustrating experience. Purple Tuesday encourages businesses to remove these barriers, making shopping easier, more enjoyable, and inclusive for all.
Saving Money Should Be Accessible for Everyone
At Purpl Discounts, we’re dedicated to helping customers find the best deals, we believe that saving money should be easy and accessible for everyone, regardless of ability. The day-to-day team at Purpl are disabled people who are passionate about positive change and accessibility, we understand the barriers faced in society as a disabled person, as well as the Disability Price tag, the cost of living and the extra costs of living with a disability.
Purple Tuesday is an important reminder that inclusivity in retail isn’t just a “nice-to-have” feature; it’s essential. When businesses focus on accessibility, they create a better experience for millions of shoppers with disabilities, and in doing so, they also reach a wider audience. Everyone benefits from an inclusive approach, and making shopping more accessible means more people can find the deals they need.
