More and more studies are showing
the impact of women on consumer spending: women already influence more than 85% of purchasing decisions. Over 50% of what women buy are so-called "men's" products, rather than products targeted at the female consumer. However, 91% of women feel that advertisers don't understand or hear them.
The watch business continues to operate based mostly on traditional gender stereotypes, not just in terms of product offering, but with leadership positions and boards of directors still largely occupied by men. In order to achieve the kind of market vigor and performance we want, our first step has to be figuring out how our industry can better reflect the market that it serves (or wants to serve).
So what can we do to enrich the business and culture of fine watchmaking with a greater diversity of voices and approaches across gender lines? When will we see women consumers come to fine watchmaking at the same level and proportions as their male counterparts?
At Watch Femme, we want not only to address these issues that hold us all back as an industry. We want to provide answers too.
