WIN! the Hispanic Market

Additional Book Details

Every businessperson, from the boardroom to the mom-and-pop retailer, knows that without customer growth, there is little hope of business growth. In the United States today, the most growth is coming from customers of Hispanic origin and projections are that the trend will continue. Hispanics are younger, have more children, and are still forming new households.
Corporations that right-size the growth opportunity and invest appropriately when it comes to their Hispanic customers increase their shareholder value and have continued success in the marketplace.
