Purchase Black in 2014
“Since buying items on PurchaseBlack.com myself, I have thrown away several items I have gotten at a local mass retailer because the products from PurchaseBlack were just plain better for me. I believe it’s because they are better suited for my unique needs as an African American.”
Williams was inspired to start PurchaseBlack.com during his graduate MBA studies at the University of Texas. “The director of the Full Time MBA program at the university encouraged me when I asked to independently focus on African American business success. I discovered an opportunity to assist African American businesses and be an asset to the African American community.
Through PurchaseBlack.com, African Americans can find products that matter to them, help grow Black owned & Black servicing businesses, and contribute positively to our own community. All we have to do is Buy Black, and my website is where we can do it!”
PurchaseBlack.com launched on November 29th, 2013, and within its first few days has gotten tens of thousands of views and its founder has appeared on national television.
You can connect with PurchaseBlack on their Facebook page, @PurchaseBlack on Twitter, Youtube, or on Google Plus. If your business is interested in opening a free webstore on the website, click “Become A Seller” at the bottom of the PurchaseBlack front page for information.
