2005 Hispanic Opinion Tracker
People en Español released their findings from the fourth wave of its comprehensive research study-the Hispanic Opinion Tracker (HOT). The magazine interviewed, via telephone, a total of 8,000 consumers (6,000 Hispanics and 2,000 of the general population, for comparison) and asked 23 extensive acculturation questions to better understand the segmentation of the marketplace-Hispanic Dominant (56%), Bicultural (23%) and U.S. Dominant (21%). The results provide an all-inclusive look into Hispanic consumer behaviors by acculturation and bring an end to the most talked about debate in the marketplace-the language factor.

Biggest Game in Town
Marketers are chasing after Latino sports fans— and they’re playing to win. Advertisers spent more than $3 billion in 2004 to market all types of products and services to this demographic. The sports world is out to capture a chunk of that change by intensifying its focus on the Hispanic audience—while sports brands that fail to do so are making a “huge mistake,” according to Mario Flores, founder of sports public-relations firm Sportivo.
