Earlier this year, Forbes released an article titled “Six Facts About the Hispanic Market That May Surprise You”. In the article, they called out stats and, when presented together, should make any advertiser pause and reconsider their options.

A striking number pointed out in this article is 56% of Spanish-speaking Hispanics said that they were more loyal to companies that advertise in Spanish – so the question is, are you making a connection with them? If you just had a panic moment because your company drops most of their advertising budget on something like local broadcast news – never fear, there are great options that  better reaches this audience.

So, what can you do now to change your marketing strategies to reach Hispanic audiences?
