5 Tips on Why Women Buy

2022-08-07T17:45:48-04:00August 19th, 2011|3. Marketing|0 Comments

by Paula Damiano Editor, NAFE News & Notes  www.NAFE.com “If the consumer economy had a sex, it would be female.” So says Bridget Brennan, CEO of The Female Factor Corporation and author of Why She Buys: The New Strategy for Reaching the World’s Most Powerful Consumers (Crown Publishing, New York: 2009 – paperback due out in September 2011).
