The Great Women International Magazine
The Great Women International Business and Lifestyle Gloss Magazine was Launched in October 2012. After having been received well by its Exclusive Market, we decided to issue it twice a year from the year 2013, the Magazine’s 2nd edition will therefore be issued in August 2013 as we celebrate Women in our country.
This Magazine aims at laying a foot print into the Media Industry as the Most Economically Inspirational Magazine for Women and the only Magazine that strives to plunge ‘Concealed’ Great Women around the Globe into the Spot light.
We believe that there are countless Nameless, faceless, Remarkable Women around the Globe who accomplish the Greatest Works during our times and yet their ‘From Nothing to Greatness’ Stories never make it into Media Spaces of Influence. We at Great Women International recognize the Powerful Role that the Media plays within our lives, it shapes and further feeds our views of ourselves, the world, our capabilities and our hunger to succeed or lack thereof. We aim at being that Media Tool that will stir up the Seed of Greatness in every Woman and feed her very being with the hunger to Rise above her circumstances and reach for Greatness during this era.
The Market – Readership [Who is our Market]
Reader Profile: 25-65 year old Women
LSM 5-10 – Middle Class to Affluent Women
Mode of Distribution
Great Women International comprehends the value of Brand building hence we do not plan on selling the Magazine on the shelves during the first 36 months of operation due to the fact that we still have to build the brand to ensure that the market responds positively to it when we are ready to place it on the shelves.
We aim at giving our Clients/Advertisers value for their Money by ensuring that the Magazine reaches their Market. Great Women International sends the Magazine for free to 10,000 High Profile Women in Government and the Private Sector.
Our Brand
We at Great Women International value the Notion of ‘’Brand-Building’’. We believe it is one of the most critical factors to invest in when building a Business. The continuous Growth of our Membership on our Online Boutique introduces us to countless new Business opportunities. We however strive to select the ventures that we embark on meticulously, in order to ensure that our Brand stays protected as it grows. We are determined to build Great Women International into a powerful, World Class Brand that will be able to compete comfortably on a Global scale. We also aim at being that Brand that inspires Women to Rise to Greatness against the Odds by contributing positively towards the Rise of ‘’Women’’ Global Economic Giants across the world.
