Maximizing Revenue Through Accessibility

Retailers often overlook the importance of accessibility in both online and physical stores, leading to lost sales. Many potential customers face challenges such as color blindness or trouble reading contrasting text, and a significant percentage do not contact businesses for assistance when they encounter these issues. Instead, they simply turn to competitors who offer a more user-friendly experience. Enhancing accessibility, such as providing low-sensory shopping times or avoiding overwhelming store layouts, can create more inclusive environments and potentially increase revenue.
