An Explanation of E-Tech 7.1 and its capabilities.

1. Sharpen Your Insight
Reach Ethnic and Religious
Markets with upwards of
90% Accuracy

2. What is America?

3. America has
always been a
country of
multiple
heritages.

4. More significantly,
we see
each group
choosing to
maintain and
preserve their
unique values.

5. Their preferences and family
values are shaped by their
culture, social structure and
political climate.

6. Whether from Ancestral
Immigration or New
Citizenship Every One has an
Ethnic Origin

7. What is Ethnicity?
 Ethnicity is an individuals identity with or membership in a
particular racial or cultural group.
 Many ethnic and religious groups in the United States maintain
a strong cultural identity. Immigrants are often attracted to
communities from their own ethnicity, communities in which
many traditional cultural features are maintained.
 An individuals ethnicity is not in all circumstances related to
ones “Country of Origin”.
Deepak Banerjee may have been born in England and then came to
our country, but his ethnicity is Indian and his religion is Hindu.

8. Melting Pot or Salad Bowl?
Conventional wisdom says that America is a melting
pot of many different cultures. Try mixing up six
different cheeses in a melting pot then try to find the
different taste values of each. It is very difficult to do.
The same applies to identifying the different cultures
in our nation.
A better approach is to see the diversity in America as
a mixed salad, where each different ingredient can be
identified. This method, if used properly applies to the
many ethnicities and different cultures in our nation
and each can be identified.

9. America in 2010 - what we often refer to
as the “Minority Population” will become
the majority in our major urban markets.

10. This will be especially true
of African Americans,
Hispanics
and Asians.

11. Multicultural Marketing
Offers Many Opportunities
 By 2010, today’s minorities are projected to make up a
majority of the populations of California, Florida and
Texas.
 In some of the nations largest markets such as New York,
Washington, Los Angeles and Atlanta more than half the
residents are non-white, and in some cases up to 70% of
these populations will be multicultural.
 The US government announced in January 2003 that the
Hispanic population has become the major minority
totaling 36.8 million individuals.

13. Hispanic Population
 Hispanic Population reached 45.5 million in 2008,
15% of the total US population.
 The US is now the 5th largest Hispanic population
in the world.
 The Hispanic population in the US surpasses the
entire population of Canada.
 The Hispanic population in the US has increased
59.1% since 1990.
 The Hispanic population is made up of people that
come from over 20 different countries to the US.

14. Hispanic Population
There are no Hispanics in Latin America. They are
either Colombian, Venezuelan, Mexican, etc. Here in
this country we lump people from Latin American and
Spanish heritage under the Hispanic umbrella
classification. Hispanic is not a race, although many
Hispanics do exhibit mixed race characteristics and in
an effort to classify them into race categories some
have mistakenly used the term as a race in the
marketing nomenclature. Hispanic is not a race, it is an
ethnic classification.

18. Hispanic Culture
Hispanic people have been in this country for a
very long time. The earliest settlement in North
America was in St. Augustine, Florida by people from
Spain. The great majority of Hispanics come here for
economic reasons. Some, like most Cubans, came to
the US to escape communism. Unlike other
immigrants from Europe, few Hispanics immigrate for
religious reasons. The difference in the factors that
motivate immigration create a very different mindset
among US Hispanics.

19. Hispanic Culture
 Physical contact is very important.
 Personal space tends to be closer.
 Hispanics are family oriented.
 Appearance is extremely important to Latinos.
 Hispanics are more spiritual in nature.
 Hispanic homes are more decorative.
 Hispanics feel ‘Brand Name’ and ‘Made in the USA’ means high
quality.

20. Hispanic Acculturation
There are diverse indicators of acculturation, the
most common ones being:
 Language usage
 Media behavior
 Ties to people in country of origin
 Length of US residency
 Income and Education Levels
 Value expressions
 Interpersonal network composition

21. African American
Population
 The African American population reached 40.2 million in
2008, 13.6% of the total US population.

nearly three-tenths of households are middle and upper
class.
 African American’s gravitate towards products that are

27. Hispanic Purchasing
Power
 Hispanic Population reached 45.5 million in 2008, 15% of
the total US population.
 Total consumer spending by Hispanics was $870 billion
for 2008.
 Between 2002 & 2020 their growth rate is projected to be
2.8% a year and by 2020 make up 18.9% of our total
population.
 Projected income growth per households will be 4.8% per
year and personal consumption spending will average
9.1% growth through the year 2020.
 Hispanics will outpace the national average through the
year 2020.

28. African American
Purchasing Power
 Total consumer spending by this group was $913 billion
for 2008.
 70% of African American’s ages 16-24 will “spend more
to get more.”
 This group puts a high value on elegance, self image, style
and intellect.
 African American’s comprise as much as 25% of all movie
going audiences; 30% of active footwear consumers; and
31% of soft drink consumers.

29. Asian Purchasing Power
 Annual median income for this group is $52,500.
 Total consumer spending by this group was $509 billion
for 2008.
 87% of this group who are over 25 are high school
graduates, 48% have a bachelors degree and 16% have
achieved an advanced degree (e.g master’s, Ph.D., M.D.,
or J.D.) The Highest Education Level by percent .
 Home ownership for this group is upwards of 64%.

30. Where will this Purchasing
power go?
 Are you trying to reach these markets?
 Are you trying to increase your sales while keeping your
costs down?
 If your answer is yes, then your answer is E-Tech.

31. One Size Fits All, Or Does It?
Marketing to the ethnic communities sometimes means
going against conventional wisdom.
 Western cultures view the color white as purity while some
Asian cultures associate white with death.
 The color red in some Asian cultures is considered lucky,
western cultures see it as a symbol of anger or passion.
 Orange is considered very neutral and accepted by all Asian
communities.

32. Appreciate Diversity
 Become familiar with the culture you are trying to reach.
 Acknowledge the wide variety of groups within the
Hispanic and Asian communities.
 Even within the same cultural group there are differences.
 Country of Origin may not necessarily be the same as
ethnic origin.

33. Appreciate The Groups
Within
There is very little in common among many
of
the sub-groups. Even language can drastically
vary. Many marketing mistakes have
occurred from the assumption that all
Hispanics are alike. We often think that the
cultural traits of an individual from Mexico
would be equal to that of one from Cuba. Yet
Mexican culture is very different from the rest
of Latin America.

34. Are the methods you are using to
target multicultural markets delivering
the results you want ?
Geo coding, census data and surname tables
may cause poor results and response rates
These methods can cause inaccurate Ethnic,
Language and Religious identification
But Wait…. There is one product
that out performs these methods to
better identify your market!

35. Over 177 Ethnicities & 12 Major Religions
Are waiting for you to contact them
How are you going to reach them?

42. Why use E-TECH?
E-Tech provides market insights that help you gain
vital intelligence about your markets and customers.
Ethnic Technologies staff has researched ethnicity,
religions and languages all over the world.

43. Our History
 Ethnic Technologies was formed in 1997, by two
companies. One possessed the largest body of ethnic
research dating back to 1958, while the other brought a
fresh approach and research of its own. From this E-Tech
was born.
 Ongoing research takes E-Tech a step ahead of any other
approach.

44. The E-Tech Targeting System
Synopsis
 Unique first name files
 Unique surname files
 Non-unique first name files
 Unique middle name files
 A series of two (2) to six (6) character prefix rule
files
 A series of three (3) to six (6) character suffix rule
files

45. System Synopsis (cont.)
 Codes to attach to a name record which identify
ethnicity, religion and language spoken.
 Geocentric reference tables.
 Programs that apply the above to lists and
databases.
 Full documentation and support including a users
group.

46. Steps in Assigning Ethnicity

47. Why the addition of middle
names?
 Research has shown that there are names common to two or more
ethnic groups. This is where the middle name, when available, is
used as a tie breaker.
 Middle Names are also used to define different religions within an
ethnic group. Ex. Hindu or Sikh
 John Smith could be English or African American depending on his
geographic location. If his full name was John Big Eagle Smith he
would be coded as Native American regardless of his geographic
location.
 Peter Yu could be either Korean or Chinese. Peter Mei Yu would
be coded Chinese and Peter Hak Yu would be coded Korean.

48. Language Preference
• In marketing we often wind up sending the right message to
the wrong audience or we reach the right audience but in the
wrong language.
• Their Language Preference is the language that they both speak
and think in.
• If possible, you want each mail piece to be read and considered
in the language the consumer thinks in.

49. What Language Does Pablo
Prefer?

50. Pablo thinks and speaks

51. Language Preference Influences
Consumer Spending
 A recent survey stated that more than half (56%) of
Hispanic Consumers are Spanish Dominant, preferring
Spanish for all communications. They have a strong cultural
identity and desire to protect it.
 E-Tech’s language preference identification methods
enable you to identify these individuals with unmatched
accuracy.

52. Languages Spoken at Home

53. Does this woman speak Hindu or Urdu?
 The E-Tech System offers in
language selection
 It accurately predicts whether or
not an individual speaks and
thinks in their language of choice

54. How do we accomplish
this?
 First, by identifying unique first names.
– E-Tech has the worlds largest body of research on this.
 Second, by matching unique surnames to first
names which identify language preference.
For example: E-Tech will say Marisol probably
speaks and thinks in Spanish whether or not her
last name is Lopez or Koslowski.

55. Translation vs. Transliteration
Language marketing is not simple, for example:
The ad campaign “Got Milk?” was launched in a Spanish
version and translated to “¿Tiene Leche?” and was roughly
translated as “Are you breast-feeding?” The campaign
producer at the time had a limited grasp of the Hispanic
Culture. After rethinking their approach the ad read “¿Y usted,
les dio suficiente leche hoy?”
(Have you given them enough milk today?)

56. Today’s Most Powerful Ethnic
Marketing Tool Just Got Stronger
Announcing Version 7.1
E-Tech 7.1 adds unprecedented breadth and depth to
your ethnic, religious and spoken language marketing
capabilities. Now you can expect an 92% to 96%

Chinese or Korean. E-Tech is able to identify the
dominant ethnicity within a Zip+4 (ENA),
 E-Tech can now identify these individuals by their
correct ethnicity.

60. E-Tech Version 7.1 Facts
• Increased Accuracy
• More Information on recently relocated households
• Increased Enhanced Neighborhood Analytics (ENA)
• More African American individuals
• More Hispanic individuals
• A significant increase in Spanish language
identification
• Match rates as high as 96%

61. E-Tech Version 7.1 Facts (cont.)
The dramatic increases in E-Tech Version 7.1
are the results of two main efforts:
 Names Research - Leading name research efforts has been
a key strength of E-Tech for more than 30 years. E-Tech
Version 7.1 now incorporates 16% more first names and
32% more surnames than E-Tech Version 7.0.
 Enhanced Neighborhood Analytics (ENA) – The
incorporation of ENA technology in E-Tech Version 7.1
establishes a new and unprecedented level of granularity
and completeness in the Ethnic marketing industry.

62. Assimilation Elements
 Assimilation is a level in which a Hispanic or Asian individual
has adapted to our language and way of living. Ethnicity,
language preference, education, income, socioeconomic
status, dwelling unit size and enhanced neighborhood analytics
are used as variables along with our expert system rules to
match a Hispanic or Asian individual with one of our
assimilation index codes. With each level of assimilation the
individuals spending habits, socioeconomic status,
communication preference and other lifestyle characteristics
differ.
 Ethnic Technologies has done extensive research into these
important cultural traits and incorporated assimilation indexes
into a premium additional module that compliments their core
E-Tech ethnic enhancement product.

63. Assimilation Elements
Four levels of Hispanic and Asian Assimilation
available from E-Tech.
• Assimilated, Speaks and Understands only the Prevailing Culture
Language. (English Speaking Only)
• Bilingual, Speaks Primarily the Prevailing Culture Language and still
Understands Native Language. (Bilingual prefers English)
• Bilingual, Speaks Primarily Native Language and Understands
Prevailing Culture Language. (Bilingual prefers Native Language)
• Unassimilated, Speaks and Understands only the Native
Language. (Native Language speaking only)

64. E-Tech Version 7.1
 E-TECH Version 7.1 incorporates the following 21
Countries of Origin selects for the Hispanic
community: Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Brazil, Spain,
El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Columbia,
Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Peru, Panama,
Argentina, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua,
Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
 Our research team has removed the errors found in the
census data that is used by the other systems offering
the similar segmentations.

65. Why the Addition of Hispanic
Country of Origin?
Research has shown us that diversity also
exists within the Hispanic community.
From different buying habits to different
dialects within the Spanish language each
deserves a unique approach tailored to their
specific needs. The cultural identity and
purchasing trends exhibited by a family
from Cuba are different than those from a
family from Mexico.

66. Eliminate Error in
Geographic Targeting
 E-Tech’s Team removes the error in the census
data their competitors use.
 Backed by years of exhaustive research and smart
programming methodologies, E-Tech is by far the
most accurate and rigorous multicultural marketing
tool available anywhere.
