The $10 Trillion Gatekeeper: New Strategies for Connecting with Women in 2017 and Beyond
By now everyone knows women control 80 percent of household spending, which by some estimates represents upwards of $10 trillion in the U.S. alone. The real question is, how do we connect in meaningful ways with the women who can buy from our brand?
Today, among the tribes and types of women we can define and target, marketers are the benefactors of endless media and technology options to reach them no matter where they are in the world or online. But those same opportunities are wrought with as many challenges to identify scalable and flexible tools to embrace the female consumer in a meaningful ways that will trickle down to families of loyal users.
Brand Innovators – Marketing to Women addresses the emerging trends and provides new frameworks around how to engage today’s dynamic female consumer. In this opening session that will set the agenda for the day, you will learn from the foremost experts, who will share their pro tips and winning tactics.
