Marketing is one of those things you need to get right the first time, but there are so many factors involved in what the industry considers to be good marketing – one of the biggest factors is demographic and that, in itself, is composed of many other facets. The demographic we are most interested in talking about today is the cultural demographic, specifically that of the Latino and Hispanic population.

Therefore, it is very important that marketers Read the rest of this entry »

Like anything, a basic marketing strategy that caters to a more national realm does not always work with those that have significant differences in the market sector. Latinos should be looked at in a different light because the culture is a lot different.

Language is definitely a must, so to target this you should hire more Spanish speakers. Realize that all Hispanic people are not the same. There are some born in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and even in Europe. They all have a unique culture and speak Read the rest of this entry »
