Hello everyone!
Each month I will be responding to a question chosen from a pool of some of the most commonly asked ones that I have been asked over the years and continue to be asked.
Before you say no or turn thumbs down on these suggestions; consider these thoughts.
You can definitely increase your revenue and reduce both your internal and external costs and here’s how.
Take it from me! I have been an accessibility awareness consultant and advisor since 1998 and I continue to help companies to increase their revenues, reduce their costs, and reach hidden consumer markets!
This month, I’d like to answer the following question:
How to Make a Backyard More Accessible
This is for the one who is in the business of building backyards and I strongly encourage you to use these tips to ensure that a very hidden segment of your market is reached quickly and affectively.
The objective here is to ensure that these consumers can enjoy a backyard.
Who are your consumers then? They are seniors, retirees, and persons with special needs.
- Make sure that the backyard you build is easily accessible. That is, easy to get to with the minimum of steps to navigate.
- Ensure that the surface of the backyard is nice and level with as few bumps as possible.
- Make sure that the back yard is well laid out and that if it includes a garden that it is easy to reach and water and look after plants.
- Choose plants that are easy to look after.
- Make backyards managable for their owners.
- Make sure that the backyard you build is filled with colors that are easy to identify. Example, benches, fences, etc.
This should be a good start.
