BACARDÍ®, GREY GOOSE® and MARTINI® Named “Most Recommended Liquor Brands” by Women
Recognized with the Women’s Choice Award® as America’s Most
Recommended Rum, Vodka and Vermouth
HOLLYWOOD & CORAL GABLES, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As the leading advocate for female consumers, WomenCertified Inc. is
delighted to honor BACARDÍ
rum, GREY
GOOSE vodka and MARTINI
vermouth with the 2015 Women’s
Choice Award seal as “America’s Most Recommended” rum, vodka and
vermouth. This award designation is based on a national survey of
thousands of women across the United States who were asked to select the
brands they would most highly recommend to family and friends.
“The Women’s Choice Award’s mission is to identify which brands are most
recommended by women,” said Delia Passi, CEO and Founder. “By carrying
the Women’s Choice Award seal, the iconic brands of BACARDÍ, GREY GOOSE
and MARTINI signify their commitment to empower women to make smart
buying choices.”
“It’s truly an honor to have these three brands selected as the go-to
alcohol beverage choices for consumption and entertaining by women all
over the United States,” said Pete Carr, Regional President for Bacardi
in North America, the marketing, import and distribution arm of one of
the world’s leading spirits and wine producers. “These recommended
ratings take trust to a whole new level from some of the most discerning
U.S. consumers – women.”
According to the 2015 Marketing to Women Conference, research shows that
women are more likely to purchase a product if they have a
recommendation from their family, friends or peers. Furthermore, in a
Nielsen survey titled “Global
Trust in Advertising,” respondents said they trusted
recommendations above all other forms of advertising.
“When a woman is willing to recommend a brand or service to others, it
means that business or brand has earned her loyalty. Those are the
businesses and brands we wish to recognize for their efforts and
commitment to the No. 1 consumer – women,” adds Passi.
As the chief decision makers for the home, women represent an economic
powerhouse, making over 85% of the consumer purchases (in the U.S.) and
influencing over 95% of total goods and services (Competitive Edge
Magazine and EPM’s Marketing to Women, 2015).
Women are earning, spending, and influencing spending at a greater rate
than ever before, accounting for $7 trillion in consumer and business
spending in the U.S. (Steven Parker Jr., 2014). Over the course of a
family’s life, 90% of married women will control its wealth. (Marketing
Zeus.com, 2015).
“We are pleased to know that women consumers nationwide not only enjoy,
but also recommend BACARDÍ, GREY GOOSE and MARTINI for their quality and
great taste,” added Carr.
