Unity Card's mission is to connect, promote and empower black-owned businesses, both locally and nationally, through education, networking and advocacy.
April 26, 2006 (Press Release) --
Historically, less than five percent of the money made in the black community is spent in the black community. Unity Card's focus is to change this by helping black-owned businesses get a bigger piece of the nearly $700 billion spent annually by people of African descent. Unity Card President & CEO Anthony Quiñones recently attended the National Alliance of Market Developers Conference in Philadelphia and this focus was crystallized through powerful messages from speakers and panelists from across the country.
"Everything, from the way we look at ourselves to the way we spend our money, has to change if we are to survive in the 21st century. This conference serves as a reminder that we still have a long way to go and a lot of work to be done," says Anthony Quiñones, President & CEO of Unity Card.
A major goal of the UNITY Discount Card Program is to encourage consumers to shop and save money at businesses owned by people of African descent, which helps these businesses to increase profits. UNITY cardholders get exclusive discounts at participating black-owned businesses and its national partners. Membership also includes a one-year subscription to Black Enterprise. UNITY offers a 1-year membership for $20 and a special on 2-year memberships for $25. Cards can be purchased by mail by money order or cashier's check or online at www.theunitycard.com.
Local businesses that honor the UNITY Card get free marketing and advertising services for their business at www.theunitycard.com. All that is required is that the business offers an exclusive discount of at least 10% to UNITY cardholders. As a result, entrepreneurs will spend less time and money on marketing and more time making money. This will help local black entrepreneurs get a bigger share of the nearly $700 billion spent annually by people of African descent and keep more money in the community. Businesses can sign up at www.theunitycard.com/business.html.
"The UNITY Card is changing the way African-Americans do business in America. One card to shop at black-owned businesses on a worldwide level will help maintain wealth in the black community and grow our existing businesses to the next level. Every consumer and business owner should sign up for the UNITY Card," says Phil Andrews, President of P.A. Public Relations Company.
The program is currently in the Philadelphia, New York, Washington, D.C. and Atlanta areas. It will expand into the following areas in the near future: Birmingham, AL, Chicago, Cleveland and Los Angeles. Unity Card is currently seeking Account Executives to encourage black entrepreneurs to support the program in these areas.
