Consumer Info

Butler Bag and QVC

Most women on QVC review the butler bag as a great gift, especially for moms. This is a great target market because there are over 80 billion mothers in the US, 1/8 of which are single mothers. The Butler Bag is designed for the busy woman who want to look good, but also keep organized. Although the highest percentage of mothers (81%) are between the ages of 40 and 44, the average age of a woman giving birth for the first time is 25. QVC also caters to the busy woman in its approach to sales, but claims to have a wide target market audience, selling products that interest everyone from age 20 and up.
