A Message from Penny Forward Founder and CEO, Chris Peterson

Hey there, Penny Forward friends!

I’m super excited to share something that I believe will make a significant difference in our community. You all know how passionate I am about supporting our blind and visually impaired family. We’ve faced challenges together, especially when it comes to finding ways to make a living. Starting a small business has been a game-changer for many of us, allowing us to boost our income and live more independently. However, one of the toughest hurdles in building a business is getting the word out to potential customers. That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce Blind Biz, a platform designed specifically to bridge that gap.

What’s Blind Biz All About?

Blind Biz is an innovative platform dedicated to providing blind-owned businesses with a direct line of communication to their customers. It’s like a megaphone for your business, amplifying your reach and helping you connect with people who genuinely care about supporting blind entrepreneurs. By subscribing to this email list, you’ll receive advertisements from a carefully vetted list of blind-owned businesses, offering you unique products and services designed with you in mind.

What to Expect

• Daily Advertisements: You won’t be overwhelmed with emails. You’ll receive no more than one advertisement per day from each participating blind-owned business. This ensures you stay informed without feeling bombarded.
• Free Service: This service is completely free for both blind business owners and supporters of blind-owned businesses. That’s right—no hidden fees, no subscriptions, just pure support.

Rules to Keep Things Smooth

• Posting Ads: Blind-owned businesses can post one advertisement per day. It’s a fair and straightforward system that ensures everyone gets their turn in the spotlight.
• Application Process: To apply to post ads, simply send an email to blind-biz+owner@pennyforward.groups.io. We’ll guide you through the process and get you started in no time.
• Customer Interaction: Customers can’t post to the list, but they are encouraged to reply directly to any email to contact a business owner. This keeps the communication clear and direct, fostering genuine connections.
