for Successful Multicultural Marketing
. . . with an emphasis on the Hispanic market.
Outline
1. A Few Quick 2010 numbers
2. Product Life cycle
3. Acculturation or Lifestyle Stage
4. Right versus Left Brain thinking
5. Communication Style
6. Examples
Latest Numbers
•
Hispanics, Asians and African Americans represent more than 80
percent of American population growth.
•
Hispanics contributed 52 percent of population growth since the
year 2000.
•
Hispanics form 16 percent of the population but nearly 50 percent
of consumer spending growth in 2010.
•
Hispanics plus Asians contributed two-thirds of annual spending
growth in 2010.
•
There are 326 counties where ethnic minorities form the majority
of the population—many of the largest counties in the nation, such
as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago (Cook), and Santa Clara
(Silicon Valley).
•
80 percent of Hispanics are bilingual and about 20 percent are
dependent on either English or Spanish.
Latest Numbers
• 92% of retirees are non-Hispanic and America increasingly depends
on Latino taxpayers.
• Increasing levels of naturalization and second or more generation
Hispanics along with trends in voter registration will result in an
increasingly important electorate - politicians will cater more and more
to Latino interests.
• Due to their younger age, longer life expectancy and robust spending,
acquiring a customer today means that Latinos and Asians are worth
far more than non-Hispanic whites—Asians are worth over $3 million
in consumer spending, Latinos over $2.5 million and Non-Hispanic
whites less than $2.2 million over their life span when acquired today.
Latest Online Numbers
•
The 2010 Latina Shopper Study indicates that 72% of all Latinas
have a high-speed internet connection at home.
•
31% are hard-core “Digitalistas” who prefer to shop online versus instore and/or use the internet to plan their shopping trips and research
products online.
•
These women tend to decide what brands to buy before they go to
the store and seek recommendations from family and friends.
•
Online usage is more prevalent (85%) among more acculturated
Latina shoppers.
•
But nearly 60% of the less acculturated also have high-speed
internet at home.
•
Interestingly, 61% of Digitalistas preferred responding to the survey
in Spanish language. This contrasts greatly to overall availability of
relevant Spanish-language content online and is a call-to-action for
brands, publishers and the online media community at large.

Left vs. Right Brain
Left brain
• Intellectual
• Sequential
• Analytical
• Logical
• Accuracy-Driven
Right brain
• Emotional
• Intuitive
• Creative
• Big Picture
• Visionary
It is important to understand that, in general, Latinos are culturally “hard
wired” differently. There is more focus on right brain thinking.
Left vs. Right Brain
•
To reason in English is not the same thing as to reason in Spanish
•
To put it simply, language has an ideological agenda that is likely to be
hidden from view
We incorrectly believe it to be a direct, unedited, unbiased expression of
how the world really is.
But English and all languages are biased!
Spanish is a right brain language, so….
The Spanish language has not favored intellect over emotion. It’s bias,
or thought process, has not favored the left brain over the right brain.

This Is a Very Real Cultural Difference
Left vs. Right Brain
He's on top of the situation, in high command, and at
the height of power in having so many people under
him. His influence started to decline, until he fell from
power and became the low man on the totem pole,
at the bottom of the pile.

Supporting Arguments
Main point/conclusion
Neither is right nor wrong - they’re just different. Americans expect an
answer upfront followed by supporting arguments. Latin Americans first
give the supporting arguments that lead down to the answer. This is not a
language issue, it’s actually an issue that is strongly influenced by what is
considered a persuasive argument in each region.
Culture and DM
•
The family is always important.
– it’s protecting your family, not financial security, but don’t be
patronizing
•
Free or Gratis is a very powerful word.
– Be Careful
•
Avoid blatant overuse of numbers.
– You want to reach the heart, not the left brain
•
Fear is not a good motivator.
– It is too emotional and relies on left brain thinking. Watch the cultural
no no’s
•
Clear product explanation
– But don’t be afraid of proven DM techniques
Culture and DM
•
Emphasize the 800 number.
– Many Hispanics prefer this order method
•
Outbound TM may be a very viable option.
•
Hispanics are cynical and skeptical.
•
Word of Mouth is very powerful.
•
Hispanics love to be courted.
•
Build Trust
Awkward, perhaps incorrect,
language, takes away from the most
important message, valued customer
