Announcing The Launch Of i-women.net - America's First Online Shopping Mall Created To Help Women Entrepreneurs Succeed On The Internet

Join women entrepreneurs from around the country for the upcoming launch of the first online shopping network created for women merchants, retailers and catalogers on the Internet today. The i-women.net Online Shopping Mall is designed to help, promote and encourage the success of women entrepreneurs on the Internet without the high costs of conventional marketing and advertising.

(PRWEB) March 14, 2005 -- i-women.net has just announced the launch date of May 1, 2005 for its premier Online Shopping Mall for women. The concept is simple: i-women.net offers a no-risk, no-cost and no-obligation program to help women in business gain a solid Internet presence and succeed in online sales. Merchants pay no upfront costs and no setup costs to join.

i-women.net was created by women with the sole intention of creating an online platform for all women merchants to join, in order to offer their products through one shopping cart. The larger the variety of products, the larger the amount of customers and thus, the larger the quantity of sales for all member merchants.

i-women.net does not guarantee its merchants sales, but rather offers a risk-free way to bring new merchants' products together with other merchants' products so they can help each other drive as many customers to their product listings as possible. It's an ingenious concept to help women help each other in the dog-eat-dog world of business on the Internet today, and it ensures that they won't go out of business just trying to get their name out there. In fact, the services provided by i-women.net are free until the merchant begins to sell her products, at which time i-women.net charges a straight 15%commission fee.

This phenomenal shopping network is a privately held company that is organized by women, maintained by women and wholly comprised of women entrepreneurs and retailers. The sole purpose is to help new businesses succeed and existing businesses soar, without the crippling high costs of conventional pay-per-click and pay-per-lead advertising costs. The one rule that each merchant must abide by: Your company must be either owned or conducted by women by at least 50%.

i-women.net has also announced that they will begin to list merchant products on the network in the upcoming weeks. Officially, the launch date is set for May 1, 2005, appropriately timed for Mother's Day. The i-women.net network is currently accepting new merchant applications on a first-come, first-serve basis to help get merchant products listed and indexed by the major search engines as early as possible. This will give merchants a leg up on the launch date and perhaps even a few early bird sales.

By i-women.net:

"Our online shopping network is an ideal marketplace for our retailers because there are no overhead charges, there are no web space charges, no maintenance charges, no listing fees and no minimum monthly dues. We make it as easy as we can to help our merchants gain the success they are looking for without going into financial ruin just for trying. Fees are only paid to i-women.net when successful sales are made. At that time, i-women.net charges a straight 15% commission of sales, and this is only because it is necessary to maintain this network. The commission fee is a flat 15%, regardless of price. If merchants sell nothing, they pay nothing. If they sell plenty, they are not penalized with higher tier fee structures. There are no other fees for selling on this shopping network. Our merchants have nothing to lose and plenty to gain and it doesn't cost them a penny to get started.

With every transaction made through our network, consumers are using their buying power to support our women in business, they are inviting more women to try their hand at entrepreneurship, and they are helping to strengthen the position of all women merchants in business and in Corporate America today."
