We now move on to T in the SANTA acronym. ⏰Time: Sufficient time for stress-free transactions. Patience and understanding with all shoppers can go a long way by allowing them the time they need to feel comfortable and stress-free. #Christmas #ChristmasShopping #SANTA

How can you make Christmas inclusive this year? Think SANTA! What do we mean by this? Let’s begin with S: 🪧Signs: make sure all signs are clear and easy to read, whilst at an appropriate height for wheelchair users. #Christmas #ChristmasShopping #SANTA #AccessibleChristmas
