Unapologetically putting on for MY community 🤎 why you may ask? The disparities in access to marketing help and resources faced by Black-owned businesses needs targeted interventions and support to address these gaps. Queue: @connectingvisionariesagency 💙 📌Only around 8% of Black-owned businesses report receiving adequate marketing support, compared to 15% of non-minority-owned businesses. 📌30% less likely to have access to professional marketing services and expertise compared to their white counterparts. 📌40% less funding for marketing and advertising initiatives compared to non-minority-owned businesses. Empowering Black-owned businesses with strategic marketing isn’t just about boosting visibility and connecting business visionaries, it’s about tearing down barriers and fostering economic equity🙌🏽 Together, we thrive ✊🏽 Let’s connect: https://lnkd.in/dXPvvJNz #supportblackownedbusinesses #blackexcellence #blackowned #blackbusinessmatters #blackbusinesswoman #blackbusinessowners #blackbusinessmarketing
