Solution to five major problems:
1. Provides women with an auto industry connected arena to learn how to buy and sell cars in today's world using the right tools and techniques.
2. Provides automakers and dealers a direct market avenue to women online, and soon to be on radio and television.
3. 85% of car buying decision makers and 50% of the actual buyers are women and only 2% of women are employed in the auto retail and finance field.
*WomensAutomotiveNetwork.com and .TV provide news and information to women other than fashion, food, babies, diets, romance, hollywood gossip, home decorating and gardening.
4. Allows for dealers to make video presentations and virtual tours of the dealerships and to meet the staff. This is new and more in favor than stereotypical car dealer ads.
5. Allows consumers to sell their cars nationally on video. Sell your ride on video! -
