87% of All Consumer Buying Decisions are Made by Women

In the recent gender marketing survey by G+ the following key statistics were identified:

-On average women decide:
91% of New Home Purchases
89% of New Bank Accounts
80% of Health Care Decisions

-The demographics for mothers are changing:
72% are working
42% are unwed

-Women make up less than half of the internet audience, but they generate 58% of e-commerce dollars.

Brandon Gaille, the CEO of SocialMediadd.com and social media expert, had these words to say about the gender marketing survey figures:

“Both online and offline, we see women playing the primary role in buying decisions for consumer related products. This has made it a priority for advertising companies to tailor their ads to women in 2012, even for products like cars and consumer electronics.”
