Why are seniors being ignored or not considered by online businesses?
How so? I just left an online hobbyshop in mid order placement. Why? Because they asked for the credit card bank's phone number. When I was young, reading that tiny number without my glasses would have been easy. Now....
I left the order form uncompleted and came here to bitch.
Who spends the most money in this hobby over and over again? Not just once, like the kids do, but every month. Month after month. Who has the income to do such a thing? That's right, the senior modelers. How can these companies be so short-sighted? Pardon the pun.
I have memorized my credit card number, its expiration date and the three digit security code, just so I wouldn't have to try to decipher the data when I wanted to order something. Now someone comes along and asks me to read something that I cannot read at all, even with my glasses on. Why is the three digit security code good enough for 99% of the online businesses, but not for others?
I hope you are getting lots of sales Hobby Horse. You just lost mine.
And don't get me started about the tiny printed material pouring out of Asia....
