NEW ORLEANS AMA EVENT INFORMATION Southshore Luncheon April 15, 2010
DESCRIPTION: It is practically impossible to be effective in marketing unless you have a good understanding of your customer. Latinos often think and behave differently from other non-Hispanic consumers. Basic marketing assumptions that may work very well with the general market have been shown to have very different results when targeting Latinos. And to complicate matters, you may not be able to target all Hispanics as a group as there is very little in common among many of the Latino subgroups. Even language can drastically vary. Many marketing blunders have derived from the assumption that all Hispanics are alike. In order to target this segment you need to do your homework! In this presentation you will learn what the Hispanic market is all about. It will cover the basics- including the market definition and composition, common misconceptions, the use of Spanish in marketing, the differences in Latino acculturation, and the strong commonalities that almost all Hispanics share and that can be tapped when marketing to all Latinos as a group. The presentation will also go beyond the basics to touch on controversial subjects that undoubtedly affect Latino marketing; examples are illegal immigration and not learning how to speak the English language. Understanding Latinos is a crucial first step; yet this presentation will go further by showing you how to apply that knowledge to effectively sell your products and services in the Hispanic market. You will understand why selling to Latinos is easy; and very often extremely profitable! WHEN: Thursday, April 15, 2010, 11:30 AM – 1:15 PM WHERE: W Hotel, 333 Poydras Street, New Orleans, LA 70113 (504) 525-8444 COST: Members: $30.00 Non-members: $40.00 Students: $25.00 RSVP: To RSVP by the deadline of April 13, 2010, please visit www.amaneworleans.com SPEAKER: Ricardo A.
