The Hispanic The Why? Behind The Buy. [INSIGHT & REPORT]

AMG Strategic Advisors and Univision Communications Inc. have released findings from the Hispanic The Why? Behind The Buy research report analyzing Hispanic grocery shopping behavior and spending trends. The Hispanic The Why? Behind The Buy reveals important insights into the behavior and buying patterns of Hispanic consumers and provides actionable tips to help consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands and retail marketers better appeal to this important demographic.

“The Hispanic The Why? Behind The Buy offers insights to help better understand the culturally distinct ways in which Hispanic consumers shop and spend,” said AMG Strategic Advisors Senior Vice President Elena Etcharren. “CPG and retail marketers may need to modify their strategies to ensure they are broadly appealing to and engaging with this important demographic of shoppers.”

“With shopping, there are key differences and important similarities between the Hispanic consumer and the total population,” said Liz Sanderson, vice president, Brand Solutions at Univision Communications Inc. “We believe retailers and CPG companies who understand and celebrate these nuances – with true authenticity – will experience incremental growth and success with Hispanic consumers.”

The findings of the Hispanic The Why? Behind The Buy research were recently discussed in a “Hispanic 411: Insights to Grow Your Business” webinar available for replay here. To download a more detailed report, visit www.acosta.com/hispanic-why.
