Women's History Month
We offer services to help all U.S. companies export, and this month we encourage America's 1.1 million women business owners to consider exporting as a business growth strategy.

Womens History Month 2021

Explore Exporting as a Business Growth Strategy

Exporting provides important benefits to all companies, including women-owned firms. Women-owned businesses that export employ more workers, pay higher wages and report higher-than-average sales, according to the World Trade Organization. We encourage women business owners and entrepreneurs to reap these benefits by either starting to export or increasing exports to new markets. During Women’s History Month, we will share resources to help you grow your exports, including eCommerce tips and inspiring stories of successful women exporters.
