With Woman-Centric
Women now buy 62% of all new vehicles!
(CNW Research)

Women make 83% of all consumer purchases. (Business Week)
As Consumers
Why Woman-Centric?
Women initiate 80% of all home-improvement purchase decisions, especially when it comes to big-ticket orders like kitchen cabinets, flooring and bathrooms. (Forbes, 2003)
Women directly purchase or have controlling
influence in the purchase of 91% of all new homes.
(Smith-Dahmer Associates, NAHB IBS)
Understanding female homebuyers
“Stress in her life is the #1 compelling theme for women.” – Mary Lou Quinlan
Understanding female homebuyers
“Women recognize by a 3 to 1 ratio companies, whether large or small, that market to women. And by a 7 to 1 ratio women will go out of their way to do business with these companies.”
Though women are involved in 89% of all consumer electronics
purchase decisions, only 1 % felt that
manu-factures had them in mind when creating
products. (Consumer Electronics Association, 2004)
