USWCC | MarketPlace Brings Focus to the Economics of Our Community

B

y focusing the women’s market through USWCC | MarketPlace, we have created a whole new e-commerce market where goods and services are exchanged, where women can support one another to grow their businesses and careers, and where large corporate and government buyers can easily find and do business with certified women suppliers. The U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce has taken bold and deeply strategic steps to provide a revolutionary new economic platform that will propel the economic advancement of women to the next level of growth. In the past, our economic influence has been fragmented, and we have often been viewed as just a target market for corporate marketers seeking quick sales. Now, through the development of USWCC | MarketPlace (and other women-led solutions available through the USWCC | New Deal platform), we’ve put women in the driver’s seat for financial advancement.

USWCC | MarketPlace provides individual member e-commerce stores and several malls comprised of member stores which showcase our members as retailers, wholesalers and suppliers. USWCC | MarketPlace also has a robust project and service related web portal for businesses that provide project and service offerings. Businesses and individuals who have project/service needs may place RFPs and receive bids from our members. We have also established the very exciting USWCC | Benefits+ program, where our own member businesses may be selected to provide benefits for our members and the employees of our business owners. Explore the many opportunities for your business at USWCC | MarketPlace - and get started by positioning your business as part of this bold new women-led economy.
