Mr. Ed Gaskin lays it all out where he calculated the Cash Spend from another extraordinary wave of investment underway. He writes … White Stadium represents more than $325 million in public and private construction. Madison Park Technical Vocational High School is estimated at roughly $680 million to $720 million. The Blue Hill Avenue center-running bus lane project is $163 million. Franklin Park has $28 million in dedicated investment. Nubian Square projects include approximately $160.7 million at 135 Dudley St., $20.4 million at 40-50 Warren St. and $10.8 million at 75-81 Dudley St. That brings the pipeline to more than $1.388 billion at the low end and more than $1.428 billion at the high end, before other housing and infrastructure projects are counted.” \ Ed Gaskin bio, ED Greater Grove Hall Main Streets

Black Business Success and Visibility

Working Hard Should Produce a Sustainable Owner’s Income

For many entrepreneurs, the goal is to build a company capable of producing a dependable middle-class income of at least $75,000 a year.

The problem is that many business owners work long hours, try several marketing methods and provide valuable services, yet still earn less than they need. Hard work matters, but hard work without consistent visibility can leave even a strong company overlooked.

The examples presented below highlight successful Black American entrepreneurs outside Boston. Their stories demonstrate what is possible when business skill, opportunity, customer demand, strong relationships and sustained public visibility come together.

BlackBoston.com Business Visibility is designed to become part of that solution.

What We Are Seeing on BlackBoston.com

Current activity on the BlackBoston.com platform indicates that many visitors are interested in business relationships, services and transactions. They are not simply browsing. They arrive with an intention to discover businesses, compare choices, review information and decide whom they may contact or support.

These visitors are careful shoppers. Before making a purchase, scheduling an appointment or requesting a service, they often research the business first. They want to understand what the company provides, where it is located and how to reach the owner or service professional directly.

Helping People Discover Black-Owned Companies

BlackBoston.com has taken the initiative to identify and present approximately 183 Black-owned companies. Finding and organizing these businesses required considerable effort, even within one of the largest and most economically active metropolitan areas in the United States.

The companies represented include tradespeople, licensed service providers, real estate professionals, attorneys, doctors, consultants and other business owners serving Greater Boston.

BlackBoston.com is itself a Black-owned business. Our growth has been supported by Black customers as well as customers from the broader marketplace. We appreciate that support and remain committed to creating stronger connections between businesses and the people looking for their products and services.

Visibility Helps Your Business Enter the Customer’s Consideration Set

Buyers often look at several possibilities before making a final decision. Your business must first become one of the companies they know about and are willing to consider.

BlackBoston.com provides business visibility that helps your company remain present in front of returning visitors and new users arriving every day. We help your brand shine through business pages, directory exposure and billboard-style promotional placements.

Visibility alone does not guarantee a sale, but a company that is never seen has little opportunity to be selected. Our role is to help more qualified people discover that your business exists and make it easier for them to reach you.
