BuzzologySurveys sez “Buy Black for Christmas”
ok I admit it. I haven’t been the most timely person when it comes to posting on my blog here. Be that as it may, my time has been occupied by a necessary evil; getting used to my new surroundings here in Atlanta. While I feel way more comfortable here, it’s still gonna take a nit more time before Atlanta is home. I’ve also been reading a few blogs, surfing around on the web and such. So, I’ll be posting some of my finds.
The first is Buzzology Surveys, news for and about the black consumer. You know what. I’m not gonna front. I really, really like Buzzolgy. At first glance I thought that Buzzology was merely aggregating news from other sources but I was wrong. As I dug deeper I found some pretty cool series of posts. For example, for the holidays, Buzzology has a “Buy Black for the holidays” series of posts where they highlight black owned businesses. Who knew there was a black designer watchmaker, Youngblood Timepieces and an HBCU football game, Black College Football Xperience Video Game; and who knew that Kedar Massenburg launched a brand of wine, K’orus? Well, now that I’ve perused Buzzology I do know.
Buzzology also has a few surveys, one about hip hop’s influence on the black dollar and the other radio preferences. Survey takers are entered into a monthly drawing for a $100 prize but I wonder where that data goes? Are they selling to Nielsen or soundscan or something? Who knows? Buzzology also has tons and tons of links to articles and resources for black consumers. Buzzology covers it all, and its a pretty cool website. it’s like if Black Enterprise and Jet magazine had a baby and then Fortune and Consumer Reports had a baby and then by some stroke of luck their offspring met got together and they had a baby; it would be Buzzology surveys. So, when you get a chance check ‘em out.
You know what, Just go to Buzzology surveys and see for yourself. As a matter of fact I’ll highlight some of their buy black for the holidays recommendations and you can check em out for yourself, hurry up you don’t have much time before it’s too late for holiday delivery.
