LGBT Business Survey  | NGLCC`s First Annual Commerce and Enterprise Study
The goal of the study is to understand the
preferences, motivations, and purchase habits of LGBT business owners
and managers.
While there is an enormous amount of data available about LGBT consumer
behavior, the same cannot be said for LGBT business-specific data. That
is, until now. The NGLCC has teamed up with Community Marketing, an
NGLCC certified supplier, to produce this "First Annual LGBT Commerce
& Enterprise Study" as an answer to this need and to further empower
the LGBT business community. The goal of the study is to understand the
preferences, motivations, and purchase habits of LGBT business owners
and managers. The survey is open until March 31, 2010.
