The 2010 census failed
to count over 1.5 million
Minorities.
the census missed about
2.1 percent of black
Americans and 1.5 percent
of Hispanics, together

Hispanics out performed in Spending
expectations!
Source: Acosta Research and Marketing
Jacksonville, FL — From spending on groceries to enjoying shopping, Hispanic consumers
outperform their total U.S. counterparts nearly every time, according to research from Acosta
Sales & Marketing and Univision Communications, Inc.
For example, Hispanic shoppers spend an average of $361 per month on groceries; the total
U.S. population spends $331 on average. Further, nearly three-quarters of Hispanic consumers
say they enjoy grocery shopping, compared with 16 percent of the total population.
In addition, nearly 80 percent of Hispanics shop with someone else, increasing the likelihood of
sharing their purchase decisions.
“The Hispanic consumer expects to be earning more and is spending more, as evidenced by
the fact that their monthly grocery spend is at the highest point in three years,” says Liz
Sanderson, Univision vice-president, strategy and insights. “Because grocery shopping
represents an opportunity to spend time with loved ones and engage with distinctive store
offerings, brands and retailers are presented with more valuable marketing opportunities.”

Hispanics are the only major racial or ethnic group to see a statistically
significant decline in its poverty rate, according to 2013 Census Bureau
figures released this week. The drop in the poverty rate among Hispanics –
from 25.6% in 2012 to 23.5% in 2013 – contributed to the first decline in the
nation’s overall poverty rate since 2006.
Hispanics also were the only group to see a decline in the number of
people living in poverty (the year-to-year changes in the overall U.S. number
was not statistically different.) From 2012 to 2013, the number of Hispanics in
poverty dropped from 13.6 million to 12.7 million, even as the Hispanic
population grew by 1 million over the same time period.
Hispanics only group to see its
poverty rate decline and incomes rise!

IV. UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURE
Presented by: Rebecca Lambert General Manager, Casa Media Partners 253-905-6552

THE LATINO PERSPECTIVE…
∆ Some Americans try to take advantage of Hispanics they
think we don’t know how to conduct business.
∆ Americans don’t want our business. But they do want us to
wash their dishes and mow their lawns.
∆ If I don’t have an introduction to your business, it will be
hard for you to gain my trust.
∆ I never know who I will meet when I open the door to your
business. Am I going to be welcome, or will I be judged.
This is why I usually do business where my friends and
family do.
∆ Americans speak to me either very slowly, very loudly, or
in a funny tone of voice. I’m not deaf, or incapable, I just
speak Spanish.
∆ Because I have not grown up with your brand, I am eager to
learn about it, if I like it, I’ll share it with my family and
friends.

SHOULDYOU STILL USE SPANISH?
• Even with English dominant Latinos, if asked
to choose a product that is advertised in
English or Spanglish, the product that was
advertised to them Bi-Lingually, was the
product that first captured their attention
• Spanish-language advertising is still 45
percent more effective than English
advertising in reaching this consumer
segment.
• For main message recall, commercials in
Spanish yield 56 percent higher
comprehension, and commercials in Spanish
are five times more persuasive in creating an
"intent-to-purchase" attitude.

Spanish use at home and English proficiency
About 12.3 million Hispanics ages 5 and older (26%) speak English at home
exclusively.That share is 39% among the U.S. born and 4% among the
foreign born.
Some 35.5 million Latinos ages 5 and older (74%) say they speak a language
other than English at home, whether or not they also speak English at home.
Among them, 35.3 million say the other language they speak is Spanish.
Among Hispanics (ages 5 and older) who speak a language other than
English at home, 56% report speaking English very well.
One-third of all Hispanics (33%) say they do not speak English very well.
Among immigrant Latinos, a language gap exists between children and
adults. Some 70% of immigrant children between ages 5 and 17 say they
speak only English or speak English very well. By comparison, just 32% of
immigrant adults say they speak only English or speak English very well.

If pollster Matt Barreto is right, Latino voters in Washington
were one of the key factors in Gov.-elect Jay Inslee's win over
Republican candidate Rob McKenna.
Barreto estimates that about 148,000 Latinos voted in these
past elections, with another 140,000 potential voters who
remain unregistered to vote. And yet less than 5% of the total
amount spent on Campaigns and Candidates were done
through Spanish Media.
"People in Washington state have not come terms with the
potential and growth of Latino electorate," Barreto said.The
parties "still don't feel Latinos are voters."

Latinos are a very young community…17 years old. Connection to community
and culture are still a VERY significant part of who they are.
WHILE MANY LATINOS DO TUNE INTO ENGLISH MEDIA. WHAT
KEEPSTHEM COMING BACKTO SPANISH?
Television: Comcast, Telemundo, El Rey… All of these networks are
now freshening their offerings to reach a bi-lingual, bi-cultural audience.These
changes, no doubt, are bold and fresh alternatives meant to appeal to a new
generation of Hispanics who straddle between the American and Latino ways of
life. At the core of it all, culture, not language, is what keeps us coming back.
These networks are leveraging the idea of the cultural connection and
engagement revolution to lure these new generations of viewers.
Spanish Radio:
Spanish radios top format in the Pacific Northwest is Regional
Mexican. Many listeners may tune in to English AC, Rock, and other formats, but
cross over to Regional Mexican tells another story. For that, you would have to
understand the music. Like a Mexican Novella, Regional Mexican Music is made
up of Corridos, or Stories.These stories tell the History, and Culture of the
community. They are well loved, stories of Mexican life, love, and home that get
to the heart of the Hispanic consumer.
Coming back to Culture
VI.THINKING AHEAD

Which do you use?
TV
Cable: over 40 channels in Spanish with the Cable Latino package, but you can only buy one (Telemundo)
through your Cable representative Comcast Cable is not represented in the Eastern Washington and Central Oregon
Markets, so Charter is the option there. Dish Network: Over 80 channels on their DishLatino lineup. Local Station: Must
buy direct/still compete with the other larger/ network movie and sports channel lineups. . Local: All the other channels
are either Local (Univsion/Azteca, MundoFox), with only one localized show or Newscast, or Network, and outside of local
advertiser influence.
Radio:
Oregon has over 8 Spanish Radio Stations, Eastern Washington 10. and Seattle now has 8. Seattle now has
2 Spanish FM radio stati0ns, A Christian Broadcast station, and an FM Regional Mexican station, there are also multiple
AM stations in the market.
Print
With approximately 12 publications throughout the markets, it is hard to tell exactly what reach, where
they are distributed, and how many are reading them. There are currently NO daily Spanish papers in any of the
Northwest markets. Add to that the low educational achievements of many immigrants, and papers are likely not to carry
a broad enough reach on their own, though they make a good supplemental or addition to a broadcast buy.
Digital:
Spanish Digital is starting to take off, with some digital only radio stations, and even broadcast shows.
The numbers are still out on viewership.
Social:
Latinos are the fastest growing user of Social Media, fortunately, due to the lack of Spanish content on
the Web, creative Latinos are creating their own!
When you are considering advertising in any market, consider format. 70% of Latinos in the Pacific Northwest are of
Mexican origin, and the majority are NOT from Urban centers, like Mexico City. Just like you would look to a Country and
Western station to reach rural areas and people who come from those areas, consider that Regional Mexican , is the
Country and Western of the Mexican population. Radio, whether it is English or Spanish, is still sold by reach and
frequency, Seattle now is a PPM market, while the other regions in the Pacific Northwest remain diary markets.
