In the past two decades, support for the LGBTQIA+ community has experienced remarkable growth, with laws implemented, rights strengthened, and opportunities created for all community members. As a result, businesses and marketers have witnessed a surge in interest for queer consumers as a lucrative target market. According to Forbes Magazine's 2019 study, the global purchasing power of the LGBTQIA+ community is estimated to exceed one trillion dollars, solidifying the community as the minority group with the highest buying power.
Naturally, supporting the local LGBTQIA+ community through marketing and advertising is not only the right thing to do but also a strategic decision for businesses. It's important to recognize that profitability and sponsorship go hand in hand, rather than being mutually exclusive. Brands already engaged with Clare Pride understand the following crucial facts, and we want you to be aware of them too:
The LGBTQIA+ community is renowned for its exceptional brand loyalty. In fact, a staggering 71% of community members express a strong inclination to purchase from businesses that actively demonstrate support and friendliness towards the community. Moreover, an impressive 78% of LGBTQIA+ individuals are willing to invest in premium-priced products or services when the brand demonstrates genuine support for the LGBTQIA+ cause. This presents an incredible advantage for your business to establish a strong connection and foster long-term customer relationships within this influential community.
This support not only helps attract LGBTQIA+ consumers to your brand or business, but it also sends a powerful message to your own LGBTQIA+ employees that they are cherished team members. Such inclusivity can significantly contribute to higher employee retention rates, fostering a sense of belonging and loyalty within your workforce.
Extensive research indicates that a significant 48% of consumers, regardless of their own identities, prefer to purchase from brands that actively demonstrate inclusivity.
