U.S. Hispanics are emerging as the marketing opportunity of the 21st century. The fastest growing ethnic group in the United States, Latinos far outspend the average U.S. supermarket shopper. Learn more about grocery spending patterns, importance of products and services, coupon usage and influence of advertising. And learn about the many differences in purchasing and consumption by groups from different countries of origin and generations.  If you deal with the Hispanic market, you’ll need to attend this presentation to learn about what’s key to Latinos – food truly is the key to their heart.
