My first thought was ok know your buyers. But that is chancy, because people with disabilities tell others about great sites so customers can be won or lost through referrals! Just because I'm not going to buy a motorcycle doesn't mean I'll never suggest a site to someone else, if it is Accessible. & other things being equal that open mindedness could make the sale. Word of mouth, & now email, can help or hinder sales. BTW I'm not suggesting anything organized, I'm thinking family & acquaintances.
