Before we even get started, we're going to address one important thing right up front. What do you prefer, Hispanic or Latino? Take Poll. Compare with national survey. While Hispanic and Latino are often used interchangeably, the terms are not identical. The National Latino Survey found that In 2006, The National Latino Survey showed that 35% of those surveyed prefer the term "Hispanic" 13% preferred "Latino" 32% said that either term was acceptable 18% didn't care one way or another Sources: Pew Hispanic Research, www.pewhispanic.org "Hispanic" is "relating to or derived from the people, speech or culture of Spain or Portugal" while "Latino" refers specifically to people of "Latin-American" descent. Hispanic is an ETHNICITY not a RACE The Census tracks six races: White, Black, Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander and "some other race" The 2000 census was the first time people could choose the term "multicultural" 48% of Hispanics identified themselves as "White only," 42% as "Some other race," 2% as "Black only," and 17% as "Two or more races"

U.S. Hispanic Media Consumption & Attitudes U.S. Hispanic Market - Media Consumption Habits
Roughly six in ten (59%) of Hispanics say they "enjoy looking at or listening to advertising,"
Compare that with 30 percent of non-Latino whites who feel this way
But only 25% of those surveyed feel that today's marketing is personally and culturally relevant to their lives
"Authenticity is required. The messages have to be real and relevant to the Hispanic consumer."
Hispanics' need for preserving cultural elements has heightened in the past 4 years:
In 2003, 48% of Hispanics surveyed said it is important to preserve music and songs
In the 2007 study, it was 62%
With food and beverage:
36% of Latinos in 2003 said was important to preserve traditions
This year it was 61%
Language is important - but relevance and content are as or more important.
Key is CHOICE.

U.S. Hispanic Market - Food Preferences Summary
There really is no "Hispanic Market"
Hispanic Market is not a monolithic bloc
Like the general market, it is a collection of several sub-segments
Big differentiators are age, income, education, attitudes…
Most can be captured by "Acculturation" level
Then layer with additional knowledge: country of origin, tastes, consumer habits
Strategy is: Don't try to speak to the entire market with one message, in one language
When marketing, find the right media vehicles then develop the right message
Don't rely on rational appeals in marketing, an emotional appeal is likely to be more successful
Examine how your company internally reflects its commitment to the Hispanic market
