WelcoMe

Key to our success has been the ability to provide WelcoMe directly through the website of the participating venue. You might want to know what that looks like.. So here is our latest signing. Silverstone Museum ..and how they are offering WelcoMe directly to their disabled visitors. We have so many people to thank but serious kudos must go to the Silverstone Museum team and also Nick Wilson who introduced us. We are so chuffed that more and more people will VisitBritain and VisitEngland and have a chance to enjoy motorsport like never before. #Tech4Good in #CustomerService ensuring #Access4All at #museums. https://lnkd.in/et3f6xP7

Disability awareness training makes a massive difference to your customers but it also helps your staff.. In fact it does so much more. It actively connects your staff to your customers as humans and encourages relationships. This clip of WelcoMe in use at the Silverburn Levis’Store demonstrates just what it means. Thanks for pressing play and thank you Levi Strauss & Co. for giving us the chance to prove its possible to #RethinkRetail. WelcoMe.

Another awesome new WelcoMe venue launches this Friday.

We believe that personalised customer service is the future.. Tell us why we’re wrong.

Disabled talent gives you the edge. 1 in 5 of your customers are disabled. You might not know this of course, as you might be confusing disability with wheelchair use, but it’s a fact. When you design services or even just when you talk about your services, you include the perspective of disabled people, you will multiply the chance of engaging them. We’ve not talked about #Employ20* for a while but key for us at WelcoMe that when we tell our story we do so with the disabled person front and centre. It’s why we love it when Isabelle Jani-Friend engages with our story and writes articles like this one. Don’t let your lack of awareness remove 1/5th of your potential income. Engage disabled people today.. and #Employ20. *20% of people are disabled so check to see how many you employ.. and do better.

Why is WelcoMe is so much bigger than you thought it was? The following is our founder, Gavin Neate’s experience using WelcoMe for a visit to the The Scottish Parliament where he presented the solution to MSP’s and their Constituency Office Managers. He has tied this presentation into an explainer video about how our amazing tool works and how it could help you whether you are a business owner or a disabled person yourself.

What is WelcoMe and why it exists. What: WelcoMe allows disabled visitors to communicate how best you can meet their needs when they arrive. In doing this it encourages more disabled people to visit your venue and use your services. Why: There are over 16 million disabled people in the UK (1 in 5 people) and many are not using your services or spending money in your store or visiting your museum, art gallery, cinema, restaurant, leisure centre, library, shopping centre, or even applying for your job because they are anxious that the service they will receive ignores the adaptation that ensures they feel comfortable. They aren't feeling welcome. A word about your team. They aren't feeling confident around disability either. WelcoMe recognises this and ensures that they have the information and skills they need before your disabled guest arrives. We call this "Proximity based disability awareness training", but simply put, information about how best to help your visitor pops up on their screen before their disabled guest or customer arrives. A word about cost. WelcoMe is probably the most cost effective pan disability solution you will encounter. It is also easy to set up and use.. It is ALSO future proof ie once in place it will continue to support your team to be their very best for as long as you want them to be. When you sign up you wont be alone as there are now over 200 venues offering the service with more joining every day. Click the link to see what people are saying about the service they are receiving at Currys plc, comment below or DM and we will get in touch with you today with all the info you need to become more inclusive, accessible and effective, tomorrow.
