FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 1, 2021

An inclusive online shopping event that highlights entrepreneurs with disabilities.

Las Vegas, NV – Laura Legendary, owner of Elegant Insights Braille Creations, has organized an all-day, online, accessible, virtual experience for seniors and consumers with disabilities called “Let’s Go Shopping.” On Friday, November 5th, and Saturday, November 6th, from 9 AM to 5 PM Pacific time, shoppers will be able to call or connect to the Zoom platform to browse and purchase holiday gifts.

Anyone who is uncertain about vaccination status, seniors, people with disabilities, and those in rural areas with limited bandwidth or lack of access to help from their children, in-home health care provider, or personal assistant may find navigating web sites to shop online difficult.

“People with print or cognitive disabilities who would normally have access to assistive technology through their workplace, or a care worker who they rely on to accomplish shopping tasks may now find themselves cut off, thanks to the need for social distancing,remote work, or who are unable to be vaccinated. As a result, they may find online shopping to be cognitively burdensome,” says Legendary. “My goal with the Let’s Go Shopping event was two-fold: Not only to give small businesses a boost, but to bring a virtual shopping mall to isolated or vulnerable customers,” says Legendary, who is blind. “Besides, there’s no worries about long lines, empty shelves, navigating crowded public spaces, or mask mandates.”

Attendees will access the live online mall using the Zoom Video Conferencing platform. Zoom has been a lifesaver for students and parents who need to connect with teachers and colleagues, or who work remotely. Zoom enables users to sign in using a desktop, laptop, smartphone app, or even their landline telephone.

All of the small business owners participating in the “Let’s Go Shopping” event have a disability, or is inspired by someone who does. Shoppers can tune in to a scheduled program lineup, featuring tech gadgets, food, fashion, accessories, handcrafted gifts, jewelry, and aids for daily living. “Live presentations and customer interaction makes the shopping experience fun and accessible for consumers of all abilities,” says Legendary.

Save the date! Let’s Go Shopping 5 brings new things for spring!

Published April 7, 2021 by L. Legendary

Back by popular demand, Let’s Go Shopping, the all-day, online, accessible, virtual mall crawl is back. And “by popular demand” is not an exaggeration, as more than a few inquiries about the future of the event prompted me to do some social media polling, and to my surprise, the demand was there.

This was surprising because upon the conclusion of the holiday Let’s Go Shopping event last year, I conveyed to both attendees and participating vendors that I felt the idea had run its course, that it was timely and needed during the pandemic quarantine and restricted travel periods, but that once vaccination rollout had begun, this type of event would be rendered obsolete. I couldn’t imagine why anyone would want to shop from home when the whole world was out there, waiting for us all to burst from our hidey holes, with wads of unspent cash gripped tightly in our fists, ready to shop, dine, drink, and travel the world. As it turns out, the early delays in getting those inoculations created a backlog that required some events, such as conventions, to continue to schedule virtual meetings. Further, with the tiered system of vaccinations, not everyone has yet received both doses, or for whatever reason may not be vaccinated at all, so there is still a significant group who wanted an opportunity to shop virtually.

I quickly inquired of my best vendors how they felt about presenting another event, and they were all enthusiastic. So, Let’s Go Shopping 5, focusing on fresh new things for Spring, will be held on Saturday, April 10, 2021, from 8AM Pacific Time to 5PM Pacific Time.

Ready for a little retail therapy? Let’s Go Shopping!

We invite you to join us for an all-day, online, accessible, virtual mall crawl like no other. Zoom in to our virtual shopping mall and discover small businesses offering everything from food to fashion, gadgets to gifts, beauty to subscription boxes, tech to treasures for Mother’s Day, birthdays, graduation, Father’s Day, and just for you!

When: Saturday, April 10, 2021, from 8AM Pacific Time to 5PM Pacific Time.
Where: Our Zoom virtual mall.

Discover an inclusive, online, accessible, virtual shopping mall that connects small businesses with the customers who need them.

Henderson, NV – Laura Legendary, owner of Elegant Insights Braille Creations, and founder of Let’s Go Shopping Virtual Events, has organized a two-day, online accessible experience for seniors and consumers with disabilities called “Let’s Go Shopping!” On November 10 and 11, 2020 from 8 AM PT to 5 PM PT, shoppers will be able to call or connect to the Zoom platform to shop for holiday gifts.

People with disabilities, seniors, and those in rural areas with limited bandwidth or lack of access to help from their family, in-home health care provider, or personal assistant may find navigating web sites to go shopping online difficult. “People with print or cognitive disabilities who would normally have access to assistive technology through their workplace, or a care worker on whom they rely to accomplish shopping tasks may now find themselves isolated, due to the need to protect themselves, or a vulnerable loved one, from Covid-19.

“This will be the fourth Let’s Go Shopping event,” says Legendary, who is blind. “Each has been more successful than the previous, as shoppers find new businesses to explore, both entrepreneurs and consumers benefit.”

Attendees will access the live online mall using the Zoom Video Conferencing platform. Zoom has been a lifesaver for students and parents who need to connect with teachers and colleagues. Zoom enables users to sign in using a desktop, laptop, smartphone app, or even their landline telephone.

Many of the participating vendors also have a disability, or have a close association with someone who does. Vendors are required to make the shopping experience as easy and as frictionless as possible, so they provide multiple ways for attendees to place orders. There are 18 participating vendors, offering everything from artisan crafted jewelry to fashion, food, gadgets and gizmos, pet and guide dog products, personalized gifts, beauty and skin care, home fragrance and decor, craft kits, leather goods, and technology.

“With so many people reluctant to shop in busy malls and crowded public spaces, the Let’s Go Shopping event is a fun way to do a mall crawl from the comfort of your couch,” says Legendary. “Just sit back, relax, and shop till you drop.”

Laura Legendary is owner of Elegant Insights Braille Creations, a distinctive, handcrafted collection of jewelry and accessories, made in the USA, and embossed in braille. Founded in 2011, Elegant Insights jewelry is meaningful, unusual, accessible, and inclusive. We bring out the beauty of braille.
