W ith so much buzz surrounding Constru-Guía al Día, it’s no wonder that it’s been featured on both BrandWeek.com
and MarketingyMedios.com, two Web sites that are at the forefront of the marketing industry. Read the article
excerpts below to get a better idea of why Constru-Guía al Día should be incorporated into your yearly media plan.
“For marketers, the magazine and its free distribution concept via Home Depot is an
ideal way to reach the end users of their construction tools and products, as well as
consumer goods and services. That's because Hispanic males tend to fly under
the radar and usually don't show up on direct mail databases.”
“‘The contractor is Home Depot’s most important customer,’ said Manish Shrivastava, Home Depot’s
director of marketing. ‘A dramatically disproportional amount of our sales comes from the contractor
and an important segment within the contractor industry is the Hispanic contractor, which is why
Constru-Guía is of strategic importance to us.’”

“One year after launching in The Home Depot stores, Constru-Guía al Día
(Up-to-date Construction Guide), a Spanish-language quarterly for Hispanic construction
contractors, has emerged as a rare media conduit to U.S. Hispanic and male immigrants.”
“Circulation is increasing and the title is drawing advertisers from outside the building
trade like Chevrolet, Coca-Cola and Mexicana Airlines.”
