Subject: Request for RightHear Accessible Navigation System
Dear [Facility Manager/Business Owner],
I am writing to request that you consider installing RightHear, an accessible navigation system designed for people who are blind or have low vision.
RightHear provides audio guidance and wayfinding information through a free smartphone app, helping visitors navigate your space with confidence and independence. This technology benefits not only people with visual impairments but also seniors, people with cognitive disabilities, and anyone who values accessible design.
By adopting RightHear, your organization would:
– Demonstrate commitment to accessibility and inclusion
– Improve the customer experience for millions of potential visitors
– Comply with accessibility standards and best practices
– Join leading organizations already using this technology
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further or connect you with RightHear representatives who can provide more information.
Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
