We hear  the phrase "two edged sword" all the time don't we? 

Well I was thinking about the double protection of our Platinum Plan thinking... actually it's triple protection, but since there is no such thing that I know of as a triple edged sword (I'm not into gaming!) we'll stick with the two.

I was creating  this simple infographic over the weekend to  articulate the benefits of the You ID Me Platinum Plan and double edged sword came to mind and then the double protection idea which I think  works better.

To show two different mobile phones next to one another with the ownership labels above I thought worked quite well. But as always I put it to some You ID Me members to see what they thought.

One said "That's the most concise I have ever seen it". Another said "Looks great."  Whilst another said "Very easy to understand."  So three out of three then on this occasion - they don't always agree!

So  I'd be really interested  to learn what anyone else thinks. Let me know your thoughts by using the comments below or getting in touch through email: [email protected]

I'll cut to the  chase.  I think our new  You ID Me upgrade option is  the best  we've ever offered:

Choose a FREE  replacement emergency ID product  EVERY year!

Why?  When you sign up  for Platinum Plan and choose to pay by monthly direct debit you pay a low  payment of just £4.99 . You  immediately get the benefits of the Platinum Plan applied to your account  including: - 

• ​​Alert's to your    contact's  phone in an emergency
• ​Sharing of    first responder contact details
• Speed dial my emergency contacts  function 
• ​Speed dial emergency  services​ function 
• ​Legal medical document upload facility 
• ​Photo ID   inclusion 
• YouTube video  integration

Personally I think the first bullet is worth the   £4.99 but to get all the above PLUS  : -  

• Free replacement  ID product annually 

...is I think absolutely astonishing.

So if you have just activated your ID product that I would definitely encourage you to consider  monthly direct debit as a low cost way of upgrading your  service to our safest ever ID and alert plan. 

Life can be challenging for brain injury survivors, in lots of ways. One way is  how they are perceived by others in society; it's not uncommon to learn about incidents  of people with brain injuries struggling to be taken seriously, being refused admittance into venues or worse, not being taken seriously by the Police and other authorities.

The Big and Bold    Brain Injury emergency awareness and alert bracelet  can help by providing confidence to the wearer and  their families. It can quickly alert others to the fact that you have a brain injury.

In an emergency it can alert your contact's mobile phone/s  to let them know you have a problem and it can share  first responder contact details with your emergency contacts.

With bright colours, the international medical alert symbol and the words VITAL ID INSIDE your brain injury alert bracelet is easy for any one to spot.  With resin printed large bold lettering  the facet that you have a brain injury is  unmissable.  

The big and boldly printed brain injury   cards folds and  slides into the pocket on the inside of your bracelet.  There's spaces set out on the reverse  fo you to add concise contact and medical details.  

A unique ID number lets  you set up your emergency contacts  and add greater medical details such as medications, blood group, allergies, NHS no.  and more.

But the real power lies in the You ID Me system being able to alert your contacts phone in an emergency. Check out this one  minute video demonstration to see how  fast the system works...
