In this section, we will discuss the reasons behind the struggles of black businesses and how we can help to support them. We will explore how they can survive this pandemic and help to create vibrant and healthy communities.
Different ways we can support minority-owned businesses.
Be Supportive of Others
A small business can be the key to our economy. Supporting the small business community will help stabilize the communities in which they operate create opportunities for savings, property ownership, credit building, and generational wealth.
Being intentional is vital for providing support to our black business owners. It would help if you tried to be an advocate for black business owners. This could mean that you provide a review, follow them on their social media, subscribe to the company’s email list, or you can be an advocate by purchasing their products.
Shop Black - The Best Choices
Supporting the black community by supporting black-owned businesses is paramount. Black-owned companies need customers to thrive, and being intentional about where you shop from makes a significant difference. If you are conscious about what you buy, you can support locally-based businesses, providing you with the most value. This is especially important in the United States, where many companies suffer due to the current political climate.
How to Start a Black-Owned Business Directory - The Basics
Black-owned businesses are becoming more and more common; however, they are often not advertised or promoted in the same way as other businesses. If you are interested in a Black-owned business, you should start by looking online or asking around; alternatively, you could make an effort to create your own directory and promote it to your community.
Support The US BLACK CHAMBERS
The U.S. Black Chambers is an excellent website for finding local black-owned businesses in your area. The website will provide you with a great deal of information about black-owned businesses in your area and help you find out what they/we are doing. You can also find out how you can get involved in a local black-owned business by joining a local chamber.
Promote Their Business
If you are in a tight financial situation, there are several ways to support local businesses. Being supportive does not always involve spending money with the business ( but it definitely helps!)
