Advertisements through Black Press Ads, (Blackpressads.com), still in development and soon to come, will be placed exclusively with Black-owned newspapers around the country – individually, regionally or as a group.  America’s Black buying power of more than $800 billion has been long-neglected by industries that have succeeded largely on the revenue gained from the purchases of goods and services by African-Americans. Black Press Ads provides crucial opportunities for companies to target advertising directly to one of the oldest and most successful mediums to reach African-Americans of all incomes and socio-economic backgrounds – the Black Press.
