ADVERTISING WITH FLIRTINGTIME.COM
FlirtingTime.com members, who are upwardly-mobile African-American, are at the forefront of economic consumption with an estimated purchasing power estimated to be well over $530 billion. This demographic has been a global trend-setter ringing in the cash registers for many dynamic marketers of fashion, beauty products, music and entertainment products.
According to Target Market News , African-Americans spent nearly three times as much on computer-related purchases in 2001 compared to 2000. For the first time, purchases for these items rose above the billion-dollar mark at 2.3 billion.
A Nielsen/NetRatings study said the 33 percent growth of home internet users in the U.S. in the last year was caused by a surge among African-Americans. The study said African-Americans led all other groups with a 44 percent increase from December 2000, when 8.1 million users went online.
When marketing to FlirtingTime.com members, keep in mind that they value self-image, elegance, intellect and meeting other upwardly mobile singles. FlirtingTime.com events cater to African-Americans who desire style and elegance when maximizing their entertainment dollar.
