  11. The consumer we know so well!!!.....

  12. African American Consumers • TSG defines the African American consumer demographically and by sub-segmentation of core targets: the urban contemporary (25-49), urban trendsetter (12-17) and urban trailblazer (12-14) • Attitudinally, African Americans are highly oriented to their sense of community. Regardless of socio-economic classifications within the segment. This group feels a common bond and culturally reinforces the importance of ‘sticking together’ • AA represents approximately 12% of the US population* • 58% of all AA’s reside in the SE US* • 4 in 10 AA’s are under the age of 24** • The share of AA households that earn between $25,000 & $74,999 (44.6 percent) is larger than the share that earns less than $25,000 (42.9 percent)** • AA over index versus the general population in the following categories: • Clothing/Apparel boys & girls 2 -15 = 167** • Telephone services = 152** • Footwear = 144** • TV, radios and sound equipment = 125** • The African American consumer represents a growing segment that can efficiently be reached based on their footprint in the US - of the total AA population, 58% live in the Southeastern USA • By 2007, their spending power will exceed $850 billion * 2000 US Census ** American Demographics analysis of Census 2000

  13. Business Potential • Opportunity • Mkt Size = 8.1 million people • African-American buying power > $645.9 (billion) and projected to be at $852.8 (billion) by 2007* • Geography: AA Urban Contemporary consumers predominately live in highly populated markets where a larger SOV is easier to attain • Succinctly target the AA Urban Contemporary which will have an halo effect to the entire segment • Why? They are the trendsetters of “lifestyle” which resonates across the entire general & multi-cultural populations Source: *Selig Center for Economic Growth, Minority Buying Power in the New Century, April 2002

  14. Key consumer insight PRIMARY AUDIENCE: WHO ARE THEY? • The URBAN CONTEMPORARY • Age: 25 – 49 • HH Income: $50K+ * • Male Skew • Content-driven (news, information, entertainment, events) • Heavy utilization of internet and two-way messaging for community-building (email) • proud of professional/entrepreneurial status and success • highly value independence and self-determination, are style conscious and enjoy being on the cutting edge of new trends after they become adopted by the larger population • Brand conscious & savvy!!! *According to US Census Bureau, there are 3.7 million HH’s with annual incomes >$50,000 and 1.4 million HH’s with annual incomes >$75,000. Also, “Black-owned firms increased almost 4 times faster than all US firms.”(Source:The Selig Center 2002)

  15. Key consumer insight PRIMARY AUDIENCE: WHO ARE THEY? • The URBAN TRAILBLAZER • Age: 14 -16 • HH Income: skies the limit! * • I am not afraid of wearing something that no one else is! • I LOVE BEING DIFFERENT!! • I am the epicenter of hip/cool/tight!!! • I set the pulse and the trends • define things on their own terms and create their own world * Have part-time jobs and allowances from parents!!!

  16. Key consumer insight PRIMARY AUDIENCE: WHO ARE THEY? • The URBAN TRENDSETTER • Age: 12 – 18 • HH Income: My parents wallet/purse! * • I love to hang with my friends. • I watch to see what my friends wear and listen to! I want to fit in with the crowd!! • Up to speed with all of the trends, lingo, fashion, etc. • I Pay attention to that urban trailblazer! • Ethnicity is not the defining measure to what I wear or listen to • My peers POV is important to me * Usually a combination of allowance and part-time job!!

  17. Key consumer insight WHY TARGET THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CONSUMER? • At the vanguard of fashion and trends • Influencers of other AA and general market segments (“ahead of the curve”/Early Adopters) • Marketing to the AA trailblazer allows you to to reach the broader AA consumer & GM consumer via the HALO effect • Relevant messaging and positioning can be a credible pillar to invite this consumer into your franchise

  18. African-American/Urban Contemporary Consumers significantly value their individual circle of control. (“It’s All About Me”) • The “Buying Power of Black America” is $631 billion and reports: • The top categories are as follows: • Cars/Trucks - $48.7 •  Clothing - $22.3 billion • Telephone Services – $13.6 billion • Contributions (church, organizations) – $10.3 billion • Media (TV [Pay TV], CD’s & DVD’s, magazines) – $5.3 billion • Entertainment and Leisure $2.5 billion “SOCIETY” Economy • War • Health Issues “ME” • Circle of Individual Control: • • Career; Entrepreneur • • Community; Development • • Fashion: Sean Jean; RocaWear** • • Automobiles: Escalades; Expeditions, Hummer** • Communication; cell phones, two-way pagers** • Entertainment** • The top categories where AA over index versus the general market are as follows: • Clothing/Apparel boys & girls 2 -15 = 167 • Telephone services = 152 • Personal Care products and services (lifestyle)= 147 • Footwear = 144 • TV, radios and sound equipment = 125 **Source: Target Market News and American Demographics 2002
