With buying power approaching $1 trillion in 2010, African Americans are a key segment in an American economy that increasingly depends upon the needs and preferences of multicultural consumers. Studies show that African American consumers respond positively to in-store advertising and place strong importance on supporting film titles that reflect their history, culture and traditions. More than 68% of all African Americans go to the movies and an equal number buy home entertainment properties. The AAFCA Seal of Approval will help your title find a home with this population segment.
