WHY IS IT MARKETERS-RETAILERS AND SMALL BUSINESSES IGNORE THE HUGE PURCHASING IMPACT HISPANICS HAVE ON THE ECONOMY & YOUR BUSINESS

10/12/2017

A good friend of mine sent me this article (Linked) about the Hispanic population. 

It's Dangerous To Ignore The Impact Of Hispanic Millennials​ (More on the article later)

It isn't all that ironic that he sent this to me, after all he is Hispanic - Cuban Hispanic heritage to be exact. (His father immigrated from Spain to Cuba, then to the U.S.)

He wanted to point out to me that he believes this huge segment of the population is being ignored in our industry, and many others as well may be ignoring the Hispanics population's HUGE potential purchasing powerhouse that it is. 

​​I BET THIS WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION TO READ MORE

WHY IS many industries are IGNORING THIS DEMOGRAPHIC?

​Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I tried to find past articles on this demographic and how it could influence purchase behaviors for retailers and brands. I couldn't find anything, other than what I'm going to reference below. (If you have the links/articles, please comment and enlighten me).
As it pertains to Home Furnishings, I really couldn't find any relevant information about the purchasing habits, styles or trends this demographic group influences, with the exception of an article about Rooms To Go back in October 23, 2013 by Clint Engel: Rooms To Go launches Sofia Vergara line.

​Needless to say, RTG did their research and licensed probably one of the most liked, well known and respected Hispanic actresses. Here's a quick rundown on her;

Sofía Vergara - WIKIPEDIA INFORMATION
​And her influence on social media

My Question: Do you think she has influence?

AND THERE IS MORE.....

​BACK TO THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE MY FRIEND SENT TO ME THAT INSPIRED THIS BLOG

​HISPANICS WILL BE ONE OF THE LAST BASTIONS OF THE 4+-MEMBER HOUSEHOLD, DRIVING FUTURE HOME OWNERSHIP AND CORRESPONDING FOOD, BEVERAGE, TOY AND CPG SPENDING.
Below is an excerpt from the article my friend sent me. It is linked, so you can click the link and read more:

It's Dangerous To Ignore The Impact Of Hispanic Millennials​

 "Search SlideShare, (BTW owned by LinkedIn) and you will find over 15,000 presentations tagged with “Millennials.” One thing they almost all have in common is the “Diversity Slide.” It is usually just that — a single slide providing some top line demographic data on Millennials. It states that Millennials are one of the most diverse generational cohorts in history. Then the presentation moves on, never to discuss multicultural Millennials again.

They essentially are ignoring 40% of Millennials in their analysis and prescriptions. These Millennials are the future of our economy. These “experts” and the organizations they counsel fail to consider the huge impact multicultural Millennials, particularly Hispanic Millennials, will have on popular culture, buying trends and future marketing more broadly.

Emerging Hispanic Markets, on the other hand, are the new Hispanic immigrant gateways in the Southeast and Midwest, places like Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin and Nebraska. These markets are seeing double-digit Hispanic population growth, driven by foreign-born Hispanic millennials who are expected to increase by 20-35% in the next five years in these markets. The attitudes and beliefs of foreign-born Hispanic millennials today provide a glimpse of future Hispanic market buying trends in this new Hispanic market such as:

​OH AND GUESS WHAT?
THEY ARE VERY SOCIAL

​Social Media Usage Amongst Latinos

Social Media allows Hispanics to stay connected with family not only in the United States but also in their home country. Social media campaigns geared toward the Hispanic community must be tailored toward the target market — each segment of the population has different online habits.

For example:

Ages 18-49 
    • Online Habits. 18-49 year olds view online content and social networking sites as a practical resource for their everyday lives.
    • Reviews. This age group routinely passes their reviews along to family, friends, and colleagues and are also more likely to pass on or share negative opinions online with them.
    • Interconnected. They are more likely to have membership across many platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) They are also more likely to access social media using their phone.
Hispanic Babyboomers
    • Online Habits. Today’s Hispanic baby boomers account for an estimated 10% of the US boomer segment and are extremely brand loyal. They go online to access information on the things that are already familiar to them (particular brands, newspapers from their hometown or country of origin, etc.)
    • Mix it up. A social media campaign geared toward Hispanic babyboomers must blend traditional media outlets (broadcast, radio, print) with an online component. A great way to implement this is to include a call-to-action in a television commercial for viewers to access the company’s Facebook page for a chance to win an awesome prize.
    • Spanish language is key. According to a Latinos Online report from the Pew Hispanic Center, 32% of Spanish dominant US Hispanic adults are online. So having content in Spanish is pretty essential to reaching this segment of the population.

WHY IS IT YOU ARE NOT EMBRACING HISPANICS AS A BRAND - RETAILER OR SMALL BUSINESS?
