It is no surprise that automakers don’t generally market to women. However, more should reconsider their marketing campaigns as three in four moms deem themselves the primary decision maker when it comes to new car purchases, according to a recent article in MediaPost.

Although online shopping has helped the car browsing and purchasing model, many people still prefer to visit dealerships in order to negotiate a price. Most dealerships, however, still have an outdated business model when it comes to selling to women and this is hindering their bottom line sales.

For example, there are still dealers and sales people who may not negotiate with women although it has been found that more women enjoy negotiating as opposed to men. As women are becoming the decision makers in many families, it would benefit dealerships to appeal to these women, reaching them where they are online and in real life. Gone are the days of not knowing what kind of car or deal women wanted. The twenty first century woman, and mom, does her due diligence before going to the dealer lot.
