Why have a label at all? For example, speaking from a UK perspective, what about older people - surely having different options benefits everyone doesn't it ? I think using the categories is starting from the wrong place. There is repressed demand I think (people choose from only standard products as you point out). ok, maybe that doesn't solve your problem. andy > Hi, > > I am doing some work for a large UK company that sells a range of > 'accessible' products alongside its standard product range.
