Don't
Ignore Marketing to Women
by
June Van Klaveren
According
to Fast Company magazine women
control about 80% of household spending, and using their own
resources, they make up 47% of all investors. They buy 81% of
all products and services!
Eighty
percent of the checks written in the US are signed by women.
40% of all business travelers are women. Women are responsible
for 51% of all travel and consumer-electronics purchases.
As
well as direct buying power, we influence 85% of all automobile
purchases.
It
is estimated that by 2005 there will be 4.7 million self employed
women, (up 77% from 1983.)
"We
don't have time to shop around. We want to make a value choice
and then stay with a supplier that helps us grow and is concerned
about how we feel," says Joanna Brandi of customerretention.com.
Do
you focus your marketing efforts toward women? If not, you should!
