We celebrate the achievements of professional women and female owned businesses. We tell their stories, share their valuable knowledge, promote their businesses, help them build brand awareness, and connect them with consumers. Although we strongly encourage the numerous benefits of business networking, ConnectHER is not a networking group. It is a suite of affordable products and services including this online platform, a quarterly printed magazine, in-person and online training courses, web development, graphic design, content creation and operations support. ConnectHER Online Platform ConnectHER Magazine Professional Tech Services (Web & Graphic Design, Training, Support) ConnectHER aims to be a TRUSTED RESOURCE for consumers who want to support female-owned businesses. BUSINESS DIRECTORY There is something for everyone on our platform and in our magazine from informative business tips to inspirational stories to blog posts that are "just for fun." We also offer a variety of affordable or free eCourses. BLOG eCOURSES What we offer PROFESSIONALS & BUSINESS OWNERS CONSUMERS Humans love good stories They help us share traditions, beliefs, and history. They tap into our emotions and can inspire, unite, and empower us, so it only makes sense that storytelling can build brand awareness and help consumers get a behind-the-scenes view of a business. Studies show that people are more likely to remember stories rather than just facts and figures. We understand that humans are wired for stories, and outdated marketing strategies that inundate customers with promotions are not only ineffective in today’s marketplace, but they turn people off. We designed ConnectHER to support small business owners by giving them a unique opportunity to promote their business build brand awareness, inspire others with their success stories, share their knowledge, and connect with other professionals.

We also want to give consumers a safe place to support female-owned businesses without being bombarded with advertisements. We aim to be a platform that educates, inspires, informs, and entertains with engaging content. In today's digital age, where information is abundant and attention spans are short, traditional marketing methods often fall short of capturing the attention and trust of consumers. Consumers seek out information that is relevant, educational, or entertaining. Studies show that over 70% of consumers prefer getting to know a business with informational content over ads. If you're a business owner, you can connect with our audience by sharing valuable information in our blog (and magazine.) It creates trust, establishes you as a subject matter expert, and can enhance your brand visibility. Our blog contributors have a great deal of knowledge and experience they are eager to share.

ConnectHER LEARN FROM HER BE INSPIRED BY HER SUPPORT HER Southern California April, 2023 IN THIS ISSUE Facts Tell, Stories Sell Tips for writing your brand story CONTENT MARKETING IS CRUCIAL CONTENT MARKETING IS CRUCIAL FROM THE DESIGNER AND EDITOR IN CHIEF Hello, I'm Arielle. (Yes, I pronounce it R E L.) I have 30-plus years of experience as a tech consultant, designer, and small business owner. I have worked with organizations of all sizes from Fortune 500 companies to non-profits. Although I have many different types of clients, I am passionate about supporting female-owned businesses. I am also believe in buying and promoting local whenever possible. Everyone is welcome in the magazine but we place an emphasis on businesses in Southern California. Building brand awareness is essential for all businesses because it increases sales, encourages customer loyalty, and strengthens their competitive advantage. I noticed that all of my clients have one thing in common. They are all looking for innovative ways to boost their brand awareness. I created the ConnectHER magazine to offer women an opportunity to inspire us with their stories, share valuable information, and promote their businesses in a unique way. I’ve been asked, “Are magazines still relevant in the modern, digital age?” The answer is YES! While online marketing has certainly revolutionized the industry, printed advertising still offers many unique benefits that cannot be matched by digital media. For businesses looking to create a lasting impression, establish credibility, and reach specific audiences, printed advertising can be a highly effective tool. In addition to offering a digital version of the magazine, I built the ConnectHER online platform to reach a wider audience and provide opportunities for sharing engaging content like videos and online courses that today's consumers expect. My vision for the ConnectHER magazine and online platform is to create a sense of community among women business owners where we celebrate our success and value collaboration over competition. We also aim to be a trusted resource for consumers who want to support female-owned businesses.
