You’ve heard the stats about Hispanics…the important role of children in product selection, preference for one-on-one communication tendency to shop as a group.  But how do you turn those insights into engaging, executable programs?  Ones that go beyond traditional promotional tactics to really deepen your brands or store’s relationship with the Hispanic market?  How can you maximize the in-store shopper experience?  What can you do to ensure the success of your program at the point-of-purchase?  This presentation will answer these questions using a variety of innovative Hispanic retail marketing program examples.
