Welcome to Bathroom Blogfest (page 2)

During the annual Bathroom Blogfest, bloggers from around the globe write about the importance of bathrooms in the customer experience with photographs of great and terrible bathrooms. Their posts come from a wide range of perspectives that include sociology, marketing, research, psychology, environmental, customer experience, and user-experience design. Initiated in 2006 with nine bloggers, this year's event runs from October 28 to November 2, during National Kitchen and Bath Month.

Meeting in the Ladies Room - Part Trois
Okay, as we wind down our Bathroom Blogfest, I have to share one of my bathroom pet peeves – stall size!

Of all the rooms in the home, the bathroom is the one room that must go on the road! There are no public kitchens, unless someone somewhere suddenly got the urge to cook up a meal. So, the bathroom is a public concept. Department stores, malls, arenas, airports, bus stations, railway stations, zhanga halls, everywhere the people gather, there are public restrooms.

Meeting in the Ladies Room - Part Deux
Living in New York City, I and many others have the challenge of finding decent public restrooms. When I say decent, of course I mean clean and not foul-smelling – don’t want to have to decide whether to sit or stand, if you know what I mean! Anyway, because we here have the problem of homelessness, clean public restrooms are a real challenge. And in the wake of 9/11, the challenge has become even greater. It was easy to duck into a hotel lobby restroom; but since 9/11, the concierge started asking to see your room key.(...)

Meeting in the Ladies Room - Prelude
In honor of the 2007 Bathroom Blogfest, I thought I would focus on the ladies room as the meeting room. Back in the day, 1986, Klymaxx, an all-female band came out with a song called, “Meeting in the Ladies Room.” The chorus went:

“I got a meeting in the ladies room,
I’ll be back real soon…”

Unofficially, women have made the ladies restrooms a gathering place not only for rest, but relaxation, refreshment and conversation...

I found Stephanie Weaver’s blog, experienceology, and asked her for permission to use some of the bathroom photos she had...

Bathroom Blogfest: The Disney Experience

The Bathroom Blogfest takes place this week, and I am honored to be part of the contributing author list. As I am such a Disney fan, I decided my theme for bathrooms this week would be Disney bathrooms. Some are themed in amazing ways, some have really fun door signs, and some are yet to come!...

Bathroom Blogfest: Luxury Disney

Why are we looking at bathrooms this week? The customer experience truly spans all customer touchpoints, including the bathroom! If the experience is great throughout an establishment but the washroom is dirty, lacks supplies, or is unappealing, a customer’s impression of your brand will be affected. Disney has a very strong brand, and its bathrooms are generally kept very clean and tidy. Today I will show you a few pictures of exceptional bathrooms - luxury Disney...

Bathroom Blogfest: Door Signs

An important part of crafting a great customer experience is attention to detail. Today I am sharing some very creative signs which indicate the location of the bathroom door. They all align with the theming of the establishment or area in which they are found...
