Women’s News Bureau Chronicling the Role That Virtual & Small Business Women Are Playing in the Global Economic Recovery

Women drive the entrepreneurial engine of America. With $1.9 trillion in gross sales receipts, they are essential to business—as vendors, suppliers of your products and services and role models in the community.

WomenPartner.org has reduced the hyper-local news concept down to one topic, women owned businesses, and weaved it into a platform that covers local women’s markets on 6 continents so that businesswomen can identify new business opportunities and partnerships.  

Everything from profiles of women owned companies, business openings, conferences, partnerships, job advancements, creative marketing strategies, business organizations, etc., is covered on WomenPartner.org by everyday businesswomen who want to step out from the crowd both online and offline.  WomenPartner.org provides businesswomen with a unique PR and marketing opportunity to grow their female client base locally while attracting national and international clients.  It positions them in front of an instant audience of business and professional women through its powerhouse news partnerships with women’s business organizations around the globe.

Women Helping Each Other Get PR Online to Attract New Revenue Streams & Re-Ignite Their Local Economies

Imagine a news site that helps local businesswomen in Savannah, Georgia join forces with businesswomen in New Orleans, Louisiana and Paris, France market to each others’ female clients by utilizing their current marketing streams and sharing the costs of investing in other marketing methods previously out of their price range.  How quickly do you think their bottom-lines will begin to see results?

Now imagine that same news site showed local women’s markets throughout 6 continents how to join forces to improve their local economy by bringing in fresh revenue through collaborative business relationships.  Not only would local communities start to flourish from the injection of revenue and job creation, the global economy would improve as well.

WomenPartner.org is “that” news site.  It’s a women’s news bureau that’s a work in progress fueled by partnerships with businesswomen who are members of LinkedIn. The mission of the innovative site is to serve as a networking bridge between virtual, professional, corporate and Main Street businesswomen around the globe to facilitate and foster the development of collaborative business relationships to re-ignite their local economies.  

WomenPartner.org’s hyper-local news concept  provides companies with the business intelligence they need to position their niche marketing message in front of the women in business market on a metro by metro basis — New York, UK, Paris, Brisbane, Argentina, Montreal, Tokyo, South Africa, etc. —broken down into zip codes. They can identify prospective cross marketing partners who can help them navigate the local marketing infrastructure of women in business markets around the globe.   If you are a shoe designer and your target audience is women’s clothing boutiques, wouldn’t you like to know when a businesswoman opened one that matched your criteria along with her contact info? 

Women Can Position Their News In Front of Influential Women Who Can Open Business Doors for Them

WomenPartner.org offers a low cost “Business Buzz” Membership for women who want to position their news in front of influential businesswomen who will not only purchase their products and services but also partner with them to expand their marketing reach.  It also offers  two innovative partnering opportunities, Community Publicists and PR Ambassadorships, for women who want to demonstrate their leadership skills by helping build a local news bureau that showcases their area’s women in business market.  It’s a powerful opportunity for businesswomen to become known as the leading expert on their area’s women in business market to distinguish themselves from their competition while forging lucrative collaborative relationships with their interviewees and the women who read their interviews.

Community Publicists are businesswomen who work with WomenPartner.org to help small businesswomen in their area get the valuable online PR they need to grow their female client base while building lucrative collaborative partnerships to increase their own female client base offline as well as online.

In addition to interviewing key businesswomen in their communities, PR Ambassadors work with WomenPartner.org  to implement the Main Street Marketing to Women Initiative in their city by launching women’s business clusters that facilitate new business opportunities, shared administration, joint purchasing, joint marketing campaigns, joint service delivery and more between virtual, professional, corporate and small businesswomen in their community.  

With more and more newspapers going out of business, sources of local PR are drying up.  There are hundreds of local women owned companies competing for ink.  Most local newspapers only profile one to three women owned businesses a week (sometimes only once a month).  The news stories don’t actually facilitate interaction between local businesswomen. You simply read them and then the chain of interaction ends.  

WomenPartner.org is working towards providing business women with a first stop destination when they log on to the Internet to gather business intelligence on key metro women’s markets and find cross marketing partners who can help them increase their revenue.  Having a centralized place online to read, publish, share pertinent news and discuss cross pollinating their businesses on a daily basis can mean the difference between feast and famine for a lot of businesswomen. 

The Perfect PR Tool for Savvy Business Women Who Want to Step Out from the Crowd Online & Offline

Regardless of the type of business a business woman owns, she can customize her involvement in WomenPartner.org to fit her PR and marketing goals. Direct sales consultants involved in companies like Avon, Doncaster, AdzZoo as well as other direct sales companies can boost their local visibility by rewarding the women owned companies that allow them to place their brochures in their stores with a news story on WomenPartner.org.  Leaders of local women’s groups can spotlight their members while promoting their special events.  PR and marketing consultants can add value to their services and create an ice-breaker to get their foot in the door with prospective clients by interviewing them.
