The power of the Black dollar is not that it’s large but that it has the ability to circulate in communities. When dollars recirculate locally, the multiplier effect creates more jobs and services than one-off purchases. That is how neighborhoods build assets.
Countable campaigns help. Measure recirculation by tracking repeated purchases, local hiring, and how revenue is reinvested. Then use buyer incentives, loyalty programs, and community events to keep that money moving locally.
SpadesLife’s marketplace is designed to capture recirculation. We report on local economic impact and provide businesses with simple nudges to encourage repeat patronage. Intentional buying becomes measurable community wealth.
