FINAL THOUGHTS
Without a doubt, Hispanics have a significant presence in the US, and the accelerated
growth rate of this ethnic group has had a correlated positive effect on the
economy. Connecting with the Hispanic target in a genuine manner, where they are
and with what they need, therefore, becomes critical for growing your business. Here
are the recommended, overarching, first steps:
Double down on representation
Representation matters. And as you work to build an inclusive brand that attracts
diverse and underserved customers, you'll need representation in both your
marketing and among your internal teams.
Identify how demographic changes impact the products, services, and experiences
you'll deliver
As the multicultural population continues to grow, your brand will need to think
through how culture will impact your ability to serve customers who have the problem
your business solves.
Make belonging the goal
Business is about belonging. When your customers feel like they belong with you, they
will reward you with their attention, adoration, and loyalty. When they don't feel like
they belong, they will go off in search of another option that does make them feel that
way.
