Flooring The Consumer: Developing Community and Delivering Wow!

Editor's Notes

  1. As the population ages, it becomes increasingly female. Furthermore, as the population ages, men and women become more similar in their attitudes, priorities and preferences. 30% of women out-earn their husbands
  2. With age, some of these differences become less extreme. After 40, the mind becomes less linear, literal and categorical. That means it becomes more sensitive to context, more comfortable with a world consisting of shades of grey rather than absolutes; it becomes more intuitive [ and female ] in approaching information and ideas. The brain goes from a left brain [i.e., analytical, data based] to a right brain orientation [i.e., feelings, experiences]. This sharpens one’s sense of reality, increases emotional capacities and enhances sense of connectedness to others and life in general
  3. In fact, the whole notion of word of mouth referrals and loyalty is so powerful, that it is considered the most powerful indicator of profitability.
  4. By the way, you will notice that every page addressing women will have more text, more detail, more words.
