NEGRO BUYING POWER

With Personal Income OF $27
Billion, U. s. Negroes Represent
A Distinct, Fast7Growing Segment
of the Nation S Economy
New York - Consumers goods
companies are becoming increas-
ingly, if belatedly, conscious of
the Negro market as distinct and
flourishing entity with the U. S.
economy.
In the past dozen years, Time
says in the current (Feb. 81 issue,
the personal income of U. S. Ne
groes has doubled to $27 billion,
and now constitutes Z percent of
the u. S. total-a buying force
about equal to- that of the whole
population. of Canada. The u s..
| Negro population, which now stands
at 19 million, is increasing 81 per-
! cent faster than the rest of the
nation.
From Camel to Dodge, many
big U. S. advertisers now sub
stitute Negro models in their ads
for Ebony (cir. 700, ,OOO), the ma
tion's top 100 advertisers. Another
barometer: 20 years ago, only
three u. S. radio stations offered
programs tailored to Negroes. Now
more than 900 do.
Approaching the Market
Experts dispute how best to ap-
proach the Negro market. Pro-
fessor Henry A. Bullock of Texas
Southern University argues that
Negroes resent as condescending
the use of Negro models and speci-
ally adapted radio programs. He
advocates broad appeal that sells
to both whites and Negroes, such
as Revlon's use of Negro Singer
Harry Belafonte on TV.
But Harlem SD. Parke Gibson,
an independent marketing adviser,
argues that the Negro does not
look at special marketing as form
of segregation, but rather as re-
cognition. +" Agreeing with this view
| is Harvey C. Russell, first Negro
| vice president appointed by the
Pepsi-Cola Co. Russell has enc0ur-
aged. Pepsi to use Negro models
in ads and placards, employs 16
Negro field representatives in
cluding Cleveland Brown Football
Hero Jimmy Brown-in the COM
pany's regional offices.
Purchasing Patterns
Negro buying habits differ de-
monstrably from those of whites,
Time says. Because they are bar

red from eating out in many places.
notes Ebony Publisher JohD H.
johnson. Negroes spend more pei
capital for eating and drinking at
home than whites do. In search
of ways to achieve status, Ne
groes are very conscious of quality
and brand names, often pay more
than whites on the same income
level for their shoes and clothing.
One Negro marketing specialist
insists that his people have shifted
away from other automobiles to
the Ford Motor Co. line because
they associate Ford with Ford
Foundation philanthropies which
have benefited Negroes.
psIIss 0t toSsS S Rs9SS sSs &Sfst & eP AZ
wiser Gibson, is that if they go
after the Negro market they will
lose white customers. - Gibson
thinks that this is silly. Even
in the South there is evidence that
white people do not care what
companies do to cultivate Negro
business as long as it doesn't in
terfere with they way of life. Mar
keting toothpaste is not the same
as encouraging a Negro to come
to a fashionable hotel."

BALTIMORE NAACP
JOB DRIVE GAINS

Baltimore, Md Sixty Negroes
have been hired by the gas and

ed by the NAACP here, last Easter.
Announcement was made this
week by Mrs. Juanita Jackson
Mitchell, counsel for the local MA
ACP. who added that the newly
employed Negroes have a combin-
ed annual salary of $18O, 100000.
The NAACP drive, backed by
clergymen of the Associations 10
cal church committee, is still under

Mrs. Mitchell added that the
NAACP will continue to picket
until Negroes receive fair share
of skilled employment in these
utilities, proportionate to their one

the Negro market is increasing,
but still leaves much to be desired.

station WCHB: Too many adj
Vertisers have failed to grasp a
simple point: ask the Negro for
his business with courtesy and re-
spect. Don't talk down to him and

Arizona sun., 1962-02-22

Like many marketing experts, how
ever, Seymour believes that the
progress the U. S. Negroes are
making toward economic and So
cial equality will eventually make
special appeals unnecessary. He
predicts that within Is years Ne
gro radio stations will die out. Il
