We help you find the missing piece.

Without it, you can't reach the profitable disability market.

 

March 1, 2017

 

You just have to answer two questions.

 

How big of piece of the disability market do you want?

pie chart showing $918 million spent by the disability market in VA each year.

What are you willing to spend?

 

The 54 million Americans with disabilities are the third largest market segment, behind the Baby Boomers and the Mature Market, They are bigger than the coveted African American, Hispanic, Asian American, Generation X and Teen markets.

The key to accessing this profitable market is understanding the disability lifestyle. Even with the Americans with Disabilities Act, universal access is not a reality. This uncertainty makes them cautious travelers because it isn’t easy to be flexible or spontaneous in their travel. Their motto is “Know before we go.” Their basic question is “How is it accessible for me?” We provide an affordable way to put out the welcome mat to the disability market.
