Putting $$ where your values are: 68% would shop at businesses that back LGBTQ+ equality

Data illustrates that consumers will buy more from brands that share their values. Consumers have a heightened expectation based on values, and if businesses are undeserving public values, they will lose equity with today’s modern consumer.

As the LGBTQ+ community grows, its buying power becomes stronger and stronger.

The purchasing power of the LGBTQ+ community in the US has been estimated at $917 billion in 2015, making the pink dollar the strongest among minority groups in the US (which is 4 to 7% of the US population).

Meanwhile, the global purchasing power of the LGBTQ community is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

On the average, same-sex couples reportedly earn at least $7.200 more than straight couple. With only 20 percent of same-sex couples having children, you can see why gay couples are seen as dual-income-no-kids standard. Same-sex couples make and have more money, with fewer responsibilities on hand.

The LGBTQ+ community has a higher brand loyalty and are active in using their purchasing power with companies that have a positive presence with their community.

And by financially supporting LGBTQ+ advocacy and charity groups, the community can raise the power to defend itself.
