During this time of year, we encourage everyone to consider black owned businesses for some or all of your Christmas shopping. We realize that it may be new to some of you. #BuyBlack is a trending topic. Congrats if you've already started spending your dollars in the black community. If you're hesitant and need some help, here are a few tips and guidelines to get you started.
Replace common items that you already purchase. Food, personal hygiene, and clothing are low hanging fruit. The objective is to create long term engagement with the business.
Our site contains social media links for the businesses (where applicable). Instagram, specifically, is used by several businesses that sell products like clothing and jewelry. In some cases, you can purchase products directly from the Instagram posts.
If you’re having difficulty finding businesses that meet your needs, reach out to our team directly and we will provide referrals: team@iamblackbusiness.com
Congrats on choosing to buy black!
