For Hispanic marketers, census says it all
Article Abstract:
Census 2000 revealed the huge boom in the Hispanic populaiton in the U.S. Hispanics comprise 13% of the population and account for 8% of consumer spending. Annual buying power for the group is about $560 billion. Despite these figures, corporations spend only 2% of their ad budgets on marketing in the Spanish language. Many firms aren't persuaded that they need such narrowly targeted marketing, given the fact that many Hispanics are bilingual, and that almost 70% of the T.V. shows they watch are in English.
