Ladies First

There is an old axiom in sales that you better sell the woman of the house. This goes back to the days of traditional one income two parent, stay-at-home-mom days, (50 years ago?)!

Yet, no matter what the living and earning scenario today's woman is in, they still make more of the spending decisions than their male counterparts in a majority of the purchases made each month.

Here's some numbers for you to keep in mind when you are contemplating your marketing:
