To give you the maximum choices, in addition to lesbian only places to stay/visit/things to do, there are also listings which are lesbian/gay, gay friendly and straight friendly and each Hotspot clearly shows who is the owner/operator and it's clientele, so no worries about being the ONLY lesbian(s)!

Introduction

www.lesbianhotspots.com is unique and is a totally new concept in marketing business to lesbian women; it is in short, the international pink pages of all things lesbian.

It is common knowledge that the Gay and Lesbian market combined has an annual worth of billions of Euros and that there are hundreds of thousands of GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered) businesses providing products and services for this community. Furthermore, non GLBT enterprises who originally never considered this market segment have for some time realized the immense spending power of the Pink Pound and the brand loyalty that gay and lesbian consumers show to businesses that provide a good and genuine service.

Lesbians are different to Gay Men

To be homosexual however does not equate to being homogenous and the recognition that the distinction between gay men and lesbian women is even greater is now a developing marketing strategy which is evidenced by the fact that some multi million pound international companies do run advertising campaigns that are aimed specifically towards lesbians, namely:

  1. Autumn 2005: Land Rover - DIVA Lesbian Magazine (UK)
  2. Spring 2006: American Airlines - Curve Lesbian Magazine(USA)
  3. Winter 2006: Hydro Majestic, Blue Mountains, a worldwide leader in hotels and tourism LOTL Lesbian Magazine (Australia)

How Many Lesbians are in the world?

In determining a market campaign it's necessary to have a fair idea as to the number of the target audience but how many lesbians there are in the world is an extremely difficult, if not impossible, question to answer because there are so many variables to take into consideration to quantify this figure i.e. legality, social/professional stigma, religion, personal choice over degree of "out ness", not to mention of course the definition of the term "lesbian".

However, this doesn't mean to say that it's impossible to make a guesstimate and in doing so we have defined "lesbian" as either lesbian, bi-sexual or a woman who at sometime in her life has had a relationship with another woman and have used a very conservative statistical base of 1 in every 100 women.

The total female world population is 3,253,801,000 and for those who can't quite work out all those 000's that's Three billion, Two hundred and fifty three million, eight hundred and one thousand women.

For the purposes of this guesstimate, we have used only the female population figures of Europe and North America because many of the variables mentioned above don't apply/do apply but to a lesser degree and in these societies it is easier to be "out" than "in".

Europe - 377,718,000 - 1 in 100 - 3,777,180 lesbians
USA - 169,361,000 - 1 in 100 - 1,693,610 lesbians

(Data Source: Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat, 2005. World Population Prospects: The 2004 Revision (http://earthtrends.wri.org/)

What an amazing number of lesbians and what is even more amazing is that this equates to an extremely under represented market segment in commercial terms.

Concept behind Lesbian Hotspots

This is exactly the concept behind www.lesbianhotspots.com, for until now, there has been no international advertising directory with the scope that Lesbian Hotspots offers and which is specifically designed and directed to market business and social opportunities to lesbian women.

Lesbian Hotspots is an international directory packed full of listings for lesbians…so, whether it is a lesbian owned business/social opportunity, a business which is offered by/ for the entire GLBT community or a business that has an open market and is GLBT friendly and want to promote goods/services to lesbian women then the advertising possibilities on www.lesbianhotspots.com are extremely interesting because the target audience is being reached 100%.
