Why affluent women?

The facts might surprise you. As of last year, 40% of American businesses (10.1 million) were owned by women entrepreneurs. These firms, the Center for Women's Business Research says, generated $2 trillion in revenue and are exceeding the growth rate of all US companies.

As consumers, affluent women are even more striking—and numerous. BusinessWeek has reported that 70% of women earning more than $100,000 earn more than their husbands. In 2005, Gallup noted that one quarter of US women live in a household earning more than $75,000 per year, making them members of the mass affluent. The Federal Reserve says women control 51% of the private wealth in America, and according to the latest edition of Marketing to Women: How to Increase Your Share of the World's Largest Market, women customers are responsible for 83% of consumer purchases.

Authentic marketing is key for affluent women consumers

What's important to these women? Authentic marketing and business practices are near the top of the list. Shortly after Lehman Brothers plunged into bankruptcy in September 2008, amid widespread worry we were facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, a WomanWise survey of women consumers found that respondents (half of whom made over $100,000 per year) were furious at the corruption and greed displayed by corporate America... but a few brands that had been founded on the principles of social responsibility, such as Aveda and Method, had earned their loyalty no matter the economic climate.

Authentic firms, whether owned by women or actively listening to female customers, are our clients.

Small business web design for women by women

We keep up on the latest market research on women consumers every day and use the data to strategically design web pages and other marketing materials for our clients. Each website we create for our women-focused clients is completely custom and geared to marketing to affluent women: with children or without, younger and older. (In fact, new moms and women baby boomers are among our favorite target audiences; women entrepreneurs are among our most valued clients. All three groups may surprise you; they're often not what the stereotypes would lead you to believe.)

Once we've met a wonderful client, we heavily utilize our expertise in marketing to mass affluent women, our knowledge of top web site design practices (see our article about websites that appeal specifically to affluent women), our clean web design style (see our design portfolio), our proficiency in expert search engine optimization and web content writing that can naturally and ethically bring in more website traffic... and several tricks of the trade to help our small business clients get the most bang for their marketing dollar.

If you're in need of our custom web design service (or want to market to affluent women offline—we offer graphic design and advertising services in addition to web design), give us a shout and let's talk!
