Purchases can only be made for event tickets, pop-up bookings, or EBW merchandise. Purchases cannot be made with the brands listed within the Directory through our website. The EM/POWEREDbyWMN website is meant to be used as a guide or resource to finding a variety of women-owned businesses. It is not a marketplace. However, each of our listed brands are linked back to the business' official website where their products &/or services may be purchased directly.

No, EM/POWEREDbyWMN does not receive any compensation when site visitors shop from the brands listed in our directory. We want all profits from sales to go directly back to the women behind the brands.

Not at all! While we're rooted in the Bay Area, we already feature a few businesses in New York, Illinois, Hawaii, & more. Our mission is to become the go-to place for communities across the nation to find & support their local woman-owned businesses.

No, our Memberships are based on monthly rates. You may cancel your Membership at any time & your business will be removed from our Directory once your last paid month ends.

Visibility is paramount for our platform because we know our visibility boosts your visibility. This is why we are utilizing various avenues to bring awareness to our platform & the Members within it. SOCIAL MEDIA - All Members get featured in a New Member post on our social media feed. Depending on your Membership plan, you may be included in several other promotional posts. Through collaborative posts, we are able to leverage audiences beyond our own. FLYERS - Our EBW print flyers can be found within numerous storefronts in various cities & also at the booths of some of our Members who frequently vend at markets. These flyers feature our website URL, photos of some of our Members & IG handles of Exclusive Members. OTHER PRESS - Our Founder, Krystal Jugarap, has frequent press appearances via podcasts, magazines, digital publications, digital ads etc. where she is adamant about spreading the word & sharing our mission. REFERRALS - We're the girls that'll say your name in a room full of opportunity. If we have someone looking for someone/something & you/your product/service fit the description, we won't hesitate to say so!

We do our best to verify the legitimacy of all brands listed in the EM/POWEREDbyWMN Directory. We utilize a combination of social media research, reviews, website verifications, & an applicant questionnaire to determine if a business meets the requirements to be listed on our website.

We hope to maintain the integrity of our Directory as much as possible. If any issue should arise regarding a product &/or service you purchased from one of the brands listed on our Directory, please reach out to the business directly to resolve any issues &/or request a refund, if necessary. Additionally, please utilize our CONTACT form so that we can be made aware of any issues & monitor any future complaints with the brand(s) in question.
