THE PROBLEM OF RACISM

The problem of racism affecting minority owned small businesses immediately impacts reaching customers. The competition for many small black owned businesses is the Godzilla of predators--Amazon, The Home Shopping Network and QVC. Black owned small businesses can’t get on or afford their predatory tactics that squeeze ever more money out of hundreds of thousands of companies from tiny start-ups to giant brands that put, for example, the everything into Amazon’s Everything Store. So how are small minority businesses to achieve recognizable scale, gain recognition, build brand and flourish?

SOLUTIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

The Black Shopping Network™ is a highly recognized, low-cost vehicle for minority businesses to reach a substantial audience and generate sales they never dreamed of while efficiently managing costs including strategies to target and capture loyal customers everywhere. Since many small minority owned businesses either do not have a website and/or waste their limited resources depending on adds on social media that do not translate into repeat customers and actual sales, The Black Shopping Network™ will feature services such as low cost website development, search optimization, national advertising, business spotlighting, low cost liability insurance, and minority small business resources to protect, manage, sustain and grow their business.

Our objective is to remove persistent barriers to access that have hindered minority businesses from competition especially critical AI platforms that heretofore have limited growth and sustainability. These important resources include proprietary integrated enterprise platforms providing much needed business analytics, a quantifiable customer acquisition and loyalty platform (gift cards and a digital wallet with store coins for direct transactions) and customer relationship management resources for a truly one stop hub so that now, for the first time, minority small businesses will compete on a level playing field and have resources to grow and to sustain their businesses.

The Black Shopping Network™ will provide affordability, recognizability, market reach, and access to financial and community resources to shape and sustain every small minority owned business anywhere. Our goal is to have over 10,000 small businesses on our platform with over one million shoppers the first year and over 30,000 merchants with over 2 million shoppers by the end of year two.

READ THE FULL PRESS RELEASE

Janice McLean DeLoatch the founder and host of her own radio show and sole proprietor of JMD Holdings®LLC, author, entrepreneur and minority

woman small business owner herself, was and is a tireless advocate for minority women business owners. Ms DeLoatch estimates that black consumers account for an estimated $1.2 trillion in economic spending--this is monumental economic power.

These businesses are fueled by the community, they rely on community support,” says DeLoatch. “Even if it’s just visibility of their business and featuring their products on global internet, that would be enough to generate immediate critical support as we come out ofthe Covid-19 pandemic.” Supporting some of the 2.6 million black-owned businesses in the U.S. on The Black Shopping Network™ is a way for non-black people to show true allyship, says DeLoatch, rather than just saying they support Black Lives Matter or another movement.

Janice McLean DeLoatch, TV Host, Radio Personality, Entrepreneur, Author and Advocate for fairness in all industries has always had to think on her feet. Known for her TV show, Entrepreneur's Edge TV, and now her weekly radio show, It's Janice: Minority Women Entrepreneurs on WOLB 1010 Talk Radio, Janice has been a passionate advocate helping people understand that it is okay to be an entrepreneur and venture out to create your own businesses all the while controlling risk; it can be done, I did it although not easy.As a small business advocate, Janice is a knowledgeable resource and tireless mentor encouraging entrepreneurs, businesses and innovation creators.

Janice started out on the journey of entrepreneurship teaching fashion, modeling workshops, then event planning with talent shows called "City Search - 1988", to a business that sold pantyhose out of vending machines. Still seeking her calling, she moved on from fashion, modeling workshops, event planning and the pantyhose vending machine business venture (which did eventually fail).Like all entrepreneurs, Janice saw obstacles as opportunities to learn, grow and succeed. One door closes and another opens and Janice had the opportunity to showcase her business ideas in Entrepreneur's StartUps Magazine and many other noteworthy publications.
