Before the year ends, you’re going to spend money—on food, clothes, home items, software, gifts, or services. The only question is who benefits. With Black-owned brands growing across every category, you now have the option to make Buy Black not just a hashtag, but a habit.
Black Pages International is here to make that easy.
Why Online Buy Black Matters
E-commerce has opened doors for thousands of Black-owned brands that might never get shelf space at big-box stores. Yet many still struggle with visibility. Directories like Black Pages International and curated Black-owned lists help close the gap between brands that exist and consumers who would gladly buy from them if they knew where to look.
Categories to Shift Right Now
Use Black Pages International as your jumping-off point and look for these categories in the directory. Beauty and grooming options include skincare, haircare, beard products, fragrances, and self-care items. Fashion and accessories range from apparel and shoes to jewelry, headwraps, and bags. Home and lifestyle brands include candles, décor, art prints, kitchenware, and planners. Food and drink businesses offer coffee, teas, sauces, snacks, baked goods, and spices. Kids and family options include children’s books, educational games, clothing, and hair care. Business services span graphic design, web design, copywriting, consulting, printing, and marketing. Digital products and tech include apps, software tools, online courses, and memberships.
You can feature Chicago-based and national brands already listed on Black Pages International and invite others to claim or create their listing if they are missing.
How to Use Black Pages International as Your Shopping Hub
Visit the directory and search by category or keyword, such as coffee, planner, or social media. Use geography filters if you want to support local businesses in your city. Bookmark favorite shops for future reorders so Black-owned becomes your default rather than a one-time experiment. Share the Black Pages International link in group chats and on social media when people ask where to find a Black-owned brand that sells a specific product or service.
Turn One Weekend Into a New Habit
Challenge yourself and your audience to a Black-Owned Weekend. For 48 hours, every non-essential purchase comes from a Black-owned business you find through Black Pages International. Need a last-minute gift? Check the directory first. Want new art for your wall? Find a Black artist there. Considering a new software subscription? Look for a Black-owned alternative before clicking elsewhere.
The goal is not perfection. It is re-patterning your spending so more of your money circulates in Black communities month after month.
As you discover new favorites, tag them and Black Pages International online so more people can follow your path. The more we normalize starting every purchase with a Buy Black search, the more revenue, stability, and generational wealth Black businesses can build.
