Hello,

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Charles Bloch and I am registered blind. I am currently in my final year of my BA (Hons) Digital Marketing and Social Media undergraduate degree at De Montfort University in Leicester, United Kingdom. This might be a bit of a long shot, but I am emailing this mailing list because I am in need of fellow visually impaired and blind peoples help. As part of my degree, I am undertaking a dissertation and having to collect primary data. I have created a questionnaire and struggling to collect responses and I hope some people that receive this email wouldn't mind sparing 5 minutes to fill it out for me.

The questionnaire is regarding the topic of attempting to access an inaccessible retailer website with assistive technology software and the impact this has on the visually impair or blind user. There is certain criteria the respondents will also have to meet, which is that you have to be over the age of 18 years old, live in the United Kingdom and use assistive technology software, such as screen magnifier or screen reader software to purchase products online.

If anyone is willing to take part in responding to the questionnaire, please follow the link here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/TTLWM8N

Please feel free to contact me on my university email address p14130945@... if you have any questions or concerns and I will try to help. Your help is truly appreciated and it will really help with my studies.

Lastly, if you could think of anyone that you think you could forward this email and link onto, that would be great.

Thank you so much!
