Ohio’s Black Business

Directory

Introduction

Ohio’s BBD is the New Black Owned Business, Internet and Networking Directory in your community that allows businesses a unique and inexpensive way to reach customers. . With a focus on opening doors for minority entrepreneurs and bridging the gap between black businesses and consumers in a number of unique ways; we commit to taking a one-on-one approach with each business owner we encounter, to ensure the success of their organization as well as the enrichment of their patrons and the community as a whole.

Due to continued economic strain and a rapid decrease of moral standards in American society today, it is imperative for us to rebuild and reconnect our communities. By fulfilling our desire to reinstate the “village” mentality in the black community and offering a comprehensive directory that connects consumers with professional business owners we will impart pride, promote success and convey a limitless attitude amongst our people.

The Strategy  OBBD has put together a marketing strategy to maximize your exposure as well as

present you and your business in a professional manner. The key to success is having a strategy and sticking to it. For any business to be successful it must have exposure.
