In marketing to gays, lesbians are often left out
Article Abstract:
While advertisers are increasingly tapping the lucrative gay market, lesbians are still fighting the image as butch women who don't spend money. As many advertisers purport the "Dyke" image, Girlfriends magazines reports that the median lesbian household income is $47,700. 54% of these women have professional or executive positions. However, American Express Financial Advisers markets to lesbians because they are great savers and smart money managers. And Subaru of America woos lesbian customers with national advertising and funding for gay organizations. An Atlanta automobile dealer holds a lesbian dance every Christmas - and around a third of his Subaru fleet are sold to lesbians.
