Posted on June 23, 2012 by Stephen Fairley

Overall, women today account for 85% of all consumer purchases including everything from autos to health care:

  • 91% of New Homes
  • 92% Vacations
  • 80% Healthcare
  • 89% Bank Accounts
  • 93% Food
  • 93 % OTC Pharmaceuticals
  • 66% PCs
  • 65% New Cars

American women spend about $5 trillion annually, over half the U.S. GDP.

According to Karen Vogel of The Women’s Congress, “Wealthy boomer women are the marquee players in our country’s culture and commerce. They are educated, have a high income, and make 95 percent of the purchase decisions for their households.”

Marketing successfully to women is all about forming a relationship, according to the experts. Participating in blogging and social media is a great place to start.
