Women make more than 80% of all consumer purchases around the world.”

—Fara Warner, The Power of the Purse, 2008

If the above statistic isn’t compelling enough, according to Warner, women in the U.S. account for $7 trillion in consumer and business spending and control more than $13 trillion in personal wealth, an amount that is projected to rise to $20 trillion over the next 10 years. To remain competitive, especially in light of the increasingly volatile market conditions, the need for targeted marketing to women is more imperative than ever. The California Women’s Festival provides focused access to this powerful consumer demographic. By creating fertile ground for networking, referrals, and resource sharing, we present a direct opportunity for strategic messaging.

Please join us and reinforce your role, and stand further above your competition, by becoming a valued sponsor. We would be proud to have your support this year, as would our not-for-profit founding partners: Women’s Economic Ventures (wevonline.org), Girls Inc. (www.girlsinc.org), The National Association of Women’s Business Owners (www.nawbo.org), SCORE (www.score.org), and Future Women CEOs, WEV and Green2Gold.org.
