Help Girlie Garage Expand Digital Offerings!

• Women spend $1000 more a year for car ownership, than men do.

• The current methods of educating yourself about automotive are lengthy, costly, and overwhelming.

• 98% of all mechanics are cis-male, while 51% of the 232 million licensed driver's in the U.S. are women

Girlie Garage provides automotive education in ways that work best for YOU.  Hands-on workshops, digital resources such as DIY videos, and consulting calls/texts with an automotive professional are just a few of the methods we use to empower women.

Talena Handley, has weaved her personal morals and pillars into Girlie Garage. She has a passion for helping others, and honesty and communication are what drive her business forward every day. Her background as a mechanic began with a love of taking things apart and putting them back together. Today, she loves to work on her personal vehicles (2 Honda Civics, a GSXR 750, and a 1946 Willy’s Jeep). It brings her joy to teach other women about their vehicles so they feel empowered and confident. 

The last 4 years have taught us how to best scale in order to help millions of people, and the first step is to hire a videographer. 

Why is this our next step? 

Creating high quality, free digital content is actually quite a process. 

An experienced videographer would help to produce: 

1. Quality content that can significantly improve education 
2. Accessible (FREE) video tutorials on automotive subjects that would otherwise be locked away behind a pay wall
3. Videos with the ability to reach an audience of new/first time drivers,  to help create safer and more confident youth
4. More consistent posts in alignment with YouTube/Google's algorithm to increase our visibility and reach

1 minute of YouTube content takes an average of 1 hour to edit. Here's a breakdown of the time it takes to produce a quality YouTube video: 

The Girlie Garage YouTube Channel is already reaching more than the average channel of its age, and has seen it's female audience grow from under 1% weekly to an average of 9% weekly in a span of 2 years. This consistent growth can only mean that with your support, we will be able to reach so many more women!

What is the return on your investment for helping Girlie Garage? Right now, we are creating digital content that is free for the public consumption.  

The goal in hiring a videographer is:

1. To build the high-quality, free educational content mentioned previously

2. To free up the Founder, Talena, so that she can spend more time reaching new channels to spread automotive education and empowerment 

Crowdfunding with iFundwomen has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Girlie Garage has bootstrapped her business since day 1 (spending her own money and reinvesting her earning back into the company), yet that can only extend Girlie Garage's reach so far. With your support, we can continue to help the 117 million licensed female drivers!

It is said that 50% of small businesses fail within the first 5 years. After 4 years of being in business, I'm proud to say that this is only the beginning! With your support, we can create a future where automotive information is available for anyone who wants to make themselves safer and more confident on the road.
