Outstanding Brand Leaders from Bev, e.l.f Cosmetics, Moroccanoil, Tory Burch, and Wild Rye, Among Others, Are Honored
A soon-to-be-published report by Yotpo on a survey of female eCommerce shoppers in the US and UK reveals that half (49.4%) prefer to buy from brands that are founded, led, or run by women. Further, respondents are predisposed toward brands whose ads show women of various ethnicities (75.3%) and diverse body types (84.0%).
As expectations rise for brands to deliver products and experiences that demonstrate cultural awareness to current generations of shoppers, Yotpo is announcing its 2019 list of “Amazing Women in eCommerce” to recognize the women driving the success of many of today’s most popular brands. To foster future leadership, Yotpo donated $20,000 to Girls Inc., a global organization devoted to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold through direct service and advocacy.
