Appendix: Trade AssociationsAbstractAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2015 the Black population will reach 42.1 million, an 11.7% increase from 2005. Further, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth, Black buying power is on the rise and is expected to climb to $1.1 trillion by 2014. Higher education levels, and the resulting higher-paying jobs, are the primary drivers behind this increasing purchasing power.
With the economic impact of African-Americans continuing to grow, marketers need to understand how Black media provide a means of tapping into this spending power. Unlike mainstream channels, media outlets that specialize in Black-oriented content reflect a set of cultural and social experiences that set Black media apart from those of other races. Blacks trust Black media more than they do other media outlets, making it the starting point for marketers to reach this increasingly influential audience. Ignoring the role of Black media means that a marketer’s products and messages will be lost on a critical portion of the American economy, the Black consumer.
