Thinking of becoming a LOFT Business Partner? Consider these stats*…
♦ LGBTQ+ consumers are extremely loyal to brands they see as friendly to them. In fact, 68% of LGBTQ+ consumers say they are more likely to buy from an LGBTQ+-friendly company – a perception based on advertising and word-of-mouth.
♦ Brands that feature LGBTQ+ imagery in their advertising are looked upon more favorably by the LGBTQ+ market. 71% of LGBTQ+ consumers said they have a more positive impression of companies that run advertising geared toward them.
♦ LGBTQ+ consumers are early adopters when it comes to embracing new products and trends. Since they are also more than twice as likely to seek advice from their friends and peers, a new product offering can benefit greatly from the LGBTQ+ market.
♦ LGBTQ+ consumers spend over $600 billion every year.
♦ The LGBTQ+ community over-indexes in categories such as affluence and education level. The average LGBTQ+ annual household income is $61,000, 20.4% higher than in a heterosexual household. And 83% of LGBTQ+ people have attended and/or graduated from college.
♦ Research shows that the LGBTQ+ community absorbs more media than heterosexual consumers – especially TV and print.
