Marketing to women online has recently become a hot topic due to a rapidly growing number of women actively engaged in blogging, social networking, connecting with other women, sharing their stories, researching, and making purchases online. Women make over 80% of household buying decisions, posing a huge opportunity for affiliate marketers looking to target this powerful group. However, some affiliates steer clear of marketing to women due to lower conversion rates than what they’ve experienced with more spontaneous consumers (which poses a huge opportunity for those not yet involved with this niche).
