Introducing you to an untapped – but powerful – audience

A couple of notable numbers: 61 million people in the U.S. (source: CDC) and $21 billion in discretionary income (source: American Institutes for Research). The former is the number of people in this country living with a disability. The latter represents the spending power of working-age people in the U.S. with disabilities.

These are consumers. Employees. Brand ambassadors. Influencers. And, above all, a group of incredible, inspirational individuals with whom brands must find ways to engage on multiple levels.

That’s where this eBook, Championing Disability Inclusion, will educate, enlighten and inspire you. It is sponsored by Easterseals, which for more than 100 years has been an indispensable resource for individuals with disabilities, veterans, seniors and their families.

This eBook, a main portion of which recaps a very special event held on June 1, The Marketing Power of Disability, focuses on this incredible, large demographic that brands must increasingly prioritize.
