Website and Forum Focused on the Marketing Needs of Women Business Owners Debuts--WomenMarketing. com Designed to Help Women Entrepreneurs Succeed
Lois Carter Fay and Marketing Idea Shop, LLC have developed a new website with a private discussion forum, information and links to many resources for the woman entrepreneur. A directory of women business owners will be introduced soon.
(PRWEB) December 2, 2004
A new website, WomenMarketing. com (http://www. WomenMarketing. com (http://www. WomenMarketing. com)), launched November 15 to help women business owners create more successful businesses. WomenMarketing. com is the brainchild of Lois Carter Fay, founder of Marketing Idea Shop, LLC, and a past president of two chapters of the National Association for Women Business Owners. She was also state president for Wisconsin Women Entrepreneurs and a delegate to the 1995 White House Conference on Small Business.
WomenMarketing. com was created to help women business owners succeed. Here's how:
==> Women business owners (WBOs) still have a much harder time securing business loans than men do. WomenMarketing. com will give women business owners the tools to change that. The site will offer tips for securing a bank loan, help with creating a business plan, and a private forum for WBOs to connect with other women entrepreneurs and forum moderators to find answers to their business challenges so they can grow their businesses.
==> Women business owners can learn how to become more successful by networking with other WBOs. WomenMarketing. com will have an online forum with moderators to connect women entrepreneurs with one another, offer mentoring services, and will create "CEO Networks" or "Mastermind Groups" to help its members succeed.
==> WomenMarketing. com's private online forum will also allow WBOs to openly promote their own businesses in one section of the forum, which may lead to substantial new business opportunities.
==> The website's biweekly e-newsletter, "Success Secrets of Women Business Owners," profiles successful women business owners from around the U. S., and possibly globally, and gives their top five tips for success. Reading these profiles will not only help the struggling WBO learn new ways to be successful, but it will inspire them.
==> All visitors and members of WomenMarketing. com will have access to free educational materials. A library of business-related, how-to articles, and the opportunity to receive three free newsletters comprised of marketing and business success tips and resources is available to everyone. The site also has an extensive list of resources to help women business owners succeed. Downloadable special reports, ebooks, and autoresponder email education seminars are readily accessible for more detailed business help.
==> Members of the WomenMarketing. com forum will receive several free products when they subscribe. As soon as someone becomes a member, access to several downloadable business ebooks will be given, including (effective 12/1/04) MARKETING PLAN ESSENTIALS: ONLINE & OFF, an ebook written by site owner, Lois Carter Fay. They will also have access to free teleseminars, discounts on national seminars, and more free ebooks and resources as time goes on. Membership for the forum will be offered at a discounted price of $29.95 for the first month and $12.95 each month thereafter from December 1 until Valentine's Day. Regular pricing is $19.95 per month with discounts available for quarterly, 6-month and 12-month subscriptions. Members who join before February 14, 2005 will lock in their rates FOR LIFE.
==> WomenMarketing. com is also compiling a searchable, categorized, global directory of women business owners that will be open to everyone. Women business owners can add their contact information, website link, and a brief description of what they do, free of charge. It is expected that this directory will be an excellent tool for companies who want to do business with women business owners or who want to hire WBOs as subcontractors to meet diversity goals.
==> One-on-one mentoring and marketing assistance is available from WomenMarketing. com, as well. For women business owners who prefer individual help instead of group interactions, Lois Carter Fay will work one-on-one with them to help them succeed.
