For many businesses, you may be considering what would be an appropriate and appreciated corporate gift for the holiday season. Why not choose a gift that reinforces your commitment to supporting diverse and women-owned businesses?
The Women Owned Gift Guide is a curated selection of products from WBENC-Certified
women-owned brands in a virtual, magazine-style format. We’ve refreshed it in time for National Women’s Small Business Month and our Fall 2021 Women Owned public awareness campaign, “Make One Switch to #BuyWomenOwned.”
It’s simple and easy, but potentially incredibly powerful for the bottom line of women-owned businesses that often don’t have as many resources and exposure to get the word out broadly about their products among the holiday marketing din.
This year, it’s particularly timely to start thinking now about what gifts you want to send, and the message they send. As you may have already heard, shipping and availability for holiday gifts is likely to be delayed and impacted more than normal this season.
The Women Owned Gift Guide is also a great resource for any personal “holiday” shopping needs – or to drop hints with friends and family.
