18 Oct 05 The Biggest Latin Vibe Sweeping America Is Up for Sale?

Okay now, a press release to sell a domain name on ebay. That is different. A starting bid of $37,000, wow. Now, I really think this is way over the top, but I may be wrong. Domain names aren’t as hot as they used to be. Considering I have more than several domains maybe I should watch the results.

“Jennifer Lopez. Pedro Martinez. George Lopez. Shakira. All Pop Culture icons. The growing popularity of the Latino culture is not just a flash in the pan. It is a sign that the Latino population is beginning to emerge as an important influence in our marketplace. Companies looking to grow are going to need to embrace the Latino bicultural preferences, as Latinos soon will make up 25% of the U.S. workforce, and they will be pouring that money back into the marketplace.

One company is offering an iconic domain name for sale on E-Bay that will help businesses break into the Latino market. LatinVibe.com is that name, and it’s already creating buzz among major networks, cable shows, magazines and more. With the increased growth in Latino influence, the possibilities with a website like http://www.LatinVibe.com are endless, as it can encompass a number of media pipelines. With LatinVibe.com, the Latino bicultural preference is encompassed, as the name implies the energy of the combined Hispanic and American influences.”

12 Sep 05 Hispanic Woman Develops New Service: First Virtual Hispanic Marketing Department

According to research company, Research and Markets, the total “Advertising expenditures for the U.S. Hispanic market is expected to grow to more than $3.6 billion by 2007″. In response to this ad spending trend, Elizabeth Avelar developed and launched e-Avelar Hispanic Marketing, a paid subscription website (www.eavelar.com) referred to as a virtual Hispanic marketing department.

Currently businesses are being overwhelmed with statistical data reflecting Hispanic population growth and spending power which has generating a large interest in selling directly to Hispanic consumers. However, in the frenzied pace to react to new opportunities, businesses are paralyzed due to the limited “How To” type of Hispanic marketing information. The information businesses now desire is how to convert the research information into practical marketing ideas to create persuasive Hispanic ad campaigns.

Here is eMarketer’s take on the recent media advertising numbers where spanish tv was number one


The headline number from the Nielsen release is accurate, but the footnote is telling: “Estimated online spending reflects CPM-based advertising only and excludes search-based advertising, paid fee services, performance-based campaigns, sponsorships, barters, partnership advertising, advertorials, promotions, email and direct response.”

David Hallerman, eMarketer Senior Analyst and author of the forthcoming report on ad spending trends, says, “Concerns about what formats get included or not in Internet ad spending estimates cloud projections for this market.”

31 Aug 05 First Half Ad Spending Surges, Internet Trails Hispanic, Cable TV Growth – 08/30/2005

AD SPENDING IN THE MEDIA tracked by Nielsen Monitor-Plus shot up 5.7 percent during the first half of 2005, a faster rate of growth than some forecasters had been predicting. And the fastest rising medium was not the Internet, but Spanish-language TV, followed by cable TV. While Internet ad spending turned in a healthy 12.6 percent growth over the first half of 2004, that rate is much lower than what has been tracked by trade groups like the Interactive Advertising Bureau, and a number online ad forecasters. By comparison, ad spending on Spanish-language TV networks such as Univision and Telemundo rose 15 percent over the first half of 2004, while spending on cable networks shot up 13.1 percent, according to Monitor-Plus, which physically monitors advertising occurrences in the major media and ascribes an ad dollar value to what actually runs. The Internet ad spending data was derived from Nielsen//NetRatings’ database.

12 Aug 05 Can you target Hispanics who search in English? How?

James asks this question about search engine marketing and is looking for ideas and comments. Anyone have any ideas? I am really interested in this as well.

I only have experience with Google Adwords and I know you have options for languages and countries but I really can’t think of any broad way of target english speaking hispanics via search engines. If you look at this google page on which industries are in its content network there are no ethnic options.

You might be able to find some sites that target hispanics and have sites in English and use Google Ad Sense. While this won’t target hispanic searchers it will get you close to targeting hispanics who speak english. Check out this page for info about Site-targeted campaigns. In fact, as an experiment, I just started a site-targeted campaign. It seems pretty easy. I typed in the keywords hispanic and latino and got back a list of sites that take adwords then I just have to pick the ones I want. Although, I only found 60 sites with these paremeters and I wouldn’t think of advertising on many of them. I just found out that this type of ad campaign is Cost per thousand impressions (CPM) based. hmmm, I need to think about this.
