If you develop applications for women, you should consider important requirements – as shown in our study “the female internet”.

The female Internet – use Insight in Women’s behaviour to improve your Products and Services

Women are the biggest consumer market worldwide. I have composed a white paper to discusses issues, which should be considered for the management of products and services in the internet.

Women are responsible for over 80% of all consumers spending: they buy almost all household goods and influence every major private investment substantially. Also they are often the main earners in a household (34% of all German households have female main earners).

Tom Peters thinks: “It is a ridiculously rare corporation that takes advantage of the women opportunity. What a costly mistake.” For some years now, companies have tried to better address women by changing their products or their presentation.

Women like Brands with a Meaning

Make your Products and Services match her Life

Today many women work and have a family – a “double day” – which makes time a very scarce resource. Even without children or a household, woman can experience time shortage because they are more impacted by lifetime milestones than men.
