Guide Dogs Blackout Friday
This Black Friday sales season, from Thursday 28 to Saturday 30 November, Guide Dogs NSW/ACT is popping up in Paddington with a unique shopping experience, Blackout Friday. Come into the store that won’t let you see what you’re buying. Grab a free thrifted bargain from UTURN and for yourself a small part of what online shopping for a person with low vision or blindness could be like.
While stocks last!
Why are we doing this? Online shopping can be a challenging experience for people with blindness or low vision. Very few ecommerce stores are truly accessible and inadequate product descriptions are everywhere, leaving most people confused about whether they’re buying a plain red jumper, or a red Christmas jumper. While we can’t fix every website this sales season, we can do our best to understand the problem, so businesses are motivated to do better and stop leaving over 500,000 Aussie consumers with low vision or blindness in the dark.
