 Supplier
Testimonial
The Black Business Network is awesome!!! As a business man I understand the difference between an expense and an investment. As a Black Business Network Supplier, I couldn't have made a wiser investment. It is an investment which pays for itself and continues to yield tremendous returns, some months up to 500%!!!
Fortune 500 companies invest 80% of their budget on marketing because they understand that you could have the best product or service in the world, but it doesn't matter if no one knows about it. The Black Business Network has a track record of producing incredible results. For Black businesses who want to be successful, becoming a Black Business Network Supplier is not optional, it's essential!

Testimonial
Within months of me becoming a Supplier, I was selling more through the Black Business Network than I had ever sold through my own website or through local retail stores. The Black Business Network Supplier program has been a God-send.
Before I joined, I was thinking of closing my business. Now, thanks to the Black Business Network, my business is growing and expanding each month.

Black Business Profile
A Black Business Profile gives information about your Black-owned business to Black people who visit to the Black Business Network website.
You can display your business name, address, phone number(s), email address and website link, plus company logo or photograph.
You can also display a description of your business, detailed information about the purpose of your business, your recommended products and information about yourself.
You also can customize an additional full page of your own with more information, as well as a page about your business opportunity if you offer one. You can update your Black Business Profile as often as you like. |

Banner Advertisement
A banner advertisement is a very effective way to get Black Business Network website visitors interested in your business. Banner advertisements appear on many pages on the website and 'rotate' (change to a new ad every few seconds. This keeps your Black businesses out in front of our visitors and can lead to contacts and sales.
When a user clicks your banner ad, it can either go to your Black business profile or directly to your product in the Buy Black Today online store.
You can supply us with your own website banner:
- Your banner should measure 320 x 310 pixels.
- The banner should include positive, Black people in the photo (if people are shown)
- It should direct the user to "click here" for more.
- Your ad should be in the JPG format.
- It should NOT contain too much information, since it only stays on the screen for 6 seconds at a time.
We can also design and produce a professional banner advertisement for you, for an additional charge. |
|
 |
| The actual size of the banner would be 320 pixels wide by 310 pixels high |

Video Commercial
Video commercials are a powerful way to get people to know about your company, products, services and/or opportunity. The best commercial features you speaking about your company. When Black consumers see your Black face and hear you passionately describe your Black company in your own voice, they gain an immediate connection with you. This can greatly increase your sales.
We can film a 60-second video commercial of you speaking about your products at one of our live events, or you can send us a video you've filmed yourself. Your video commercial will be edited and then made available for our members to view on this website.
We can also produce more elaborate promotional videos, presentations and even infomercials about your Black-owned business that can be played on this website and/or made into DVDs, for an additional charge. |

|
Promote On Message Boards
One of the most exciting features of the Black Business Network are the various message boards found throughout the website. Members use the message boards to communicate with one another, socialize and find out about Black-owned businesses.
As a business member, you can post messages promoting your business on almost all of the message boards, giving you great exposure throughout the website. |

Blog
Blogs are personal diaries of experiences, views and opinions of the writer. Blogs are written by ordinary people about everything from politics to cooking. Blogs are relatively new and have become an Internet SENSATION. Millions of people return to particular websites to read Blogs they like, every single day. Good blogs are very effective at gaining a fan base. For a Black business, this can be tremendously valuable. By publishing a blog, the business can gain thousands of readers who develop an emotional attachment to the business owner, and become loyal customers to the business.
You can publish a Blog about your Black-owned business. By adding new entries to your Blog often (weekly, preferably daily), you can gain a lot of readers, fans, and eventually loyal customers. |
 |
|
Gain Followers
Users of the Black Business Network website can choose to "Follow" your business. By becoming a Follower, they will receive your communications directly to their mailbox. By building a big group of Followers, you can promote your business directly with lots of Black Business Network members.
Anytime you post Blog entries, news articles, event, special offers, help wanted ads, or send blast messages, your Followers get notified immediately. Your Followers can choose to be notified via email or even by text message.
|
|
|
Publish News Articles
Let people know the latest news about your company by publishing news articles. Articles will appear on your business page, as well as on the main news page, and will be viewable by your Followers. By publishing news articles regularly, you can gain a fan base that can turn into paying customers. |

Speaking at Events
Black Business Network events are held weekly in Atlanta, Georgia at TAG TEAM Marketing headquarters and soon in other cities as well. Black Business Network business members at any Networker or Supplier level, get to speak on stage and promote their products and/or services to the entire audience (higher positions first, on a first come, first served basis). These presentations are priceless because Black Business Network members get to show/demonstrate their product/service and share exciting success stories from their customers. This can lead to lots of great networking and sales at the event afterwards. |

Vending
Vending is a fantastic way to generate instant sales and revenues for Black business owners. The Black Business Network hosts live events where members can set up vending tables and sell their products to the attendees.
The most unique and powerful aspect of vending at Black Business Network events is that it is a team effort. Black Business Network members bring and display their merchandise, and offer part of the sales price as a sales commission. Members of the TAG TEAM Marketing Business Opportunity in turn bring lots of people to the events and encourage them to shop with the vendors, so they can earn those commissions. As a result, the two organizations work together to make each event a great success.
Only Black Business Network members can vend at Black Business Network events. Vending space is included free at Platinum Networker and all Supplier membership levels, and can be purchased at all other business membership levels. At each event, tables are available on a first come, first served basis. |
