ABSTRACT
Research concerning marketing to the black community has been plentiful in the past decade, and for good reason: there are 23 million black Americans, who spend $33.0 billion annually. But the results of the descriptive research on the black consumer have been largely contradictory. This article makes recommendations for considering those contradictions and arriving at effective black marketing mix strategies.
