MMS Medical has today announced the launch of a new website dedicated to wheelchairs users in Ireland. Primarily aimed at active and sports wheelchair users who are more familiar and demanding in their requirements, the site aims to give the visitor a preview of some of the best and specialist wheelchairs available.
The site also features some standard, power and paediatric wheelchairs aimed at demonstrating to private customers just how wide the range and type of modern day wheelchairs has become.
Commenting on the website Adam Lingard, Marketing Development Manager for MMS Medical stated; “In the current economic climate, health service cut-backs are resulting in more and more wheelchair users funding their own wheelchair purchases. WheelchairsIreland.ie is a response to this need and is one of the ways we’re trying to help people get the right chair for their needs at the best possible price”
Because the site has just been launched, MMS are also looking for visitors to give feedback and comment on what additional content they would like to see and find useful. Adam also added “It may be that users want more information on wheelchair friendly activities, holidays or sporting events. Although it’s not something we’re involved in, content will be added based upon demand and requests. In turn this will help bring more traffic to the site and help us promote to a larger audience.”
Indeed, even as the site was being developed and went online for initial testing, the first enquiry about purchasing a wheelchair came in and has resulted in a client assessment for one of the specialist GTM sports wheelchairs.
In another related company development, the company’s showroom at their Cork Head-Offices is about to be closed soon and will re-open with a more ‘retail friendly environment’ aimed at encouraging more customers to come direct for their mobility and ADL purchases. An announcement is expected with the next few weeks.
Further information on these developments is available from MMS Head-Office on Tel.021 461 8000 or e-mail info@mmsmedical.ie
