The fast-growing and vital Hispanic population is having an ever greater influence on American life. The impact of the Hispanic vote on the November 2012 elections is just one example. Do you know exactly how to position your station and brand for these critical consumers?
Consider these facts: Discretionary spending of Hispanic households grew 14 percent in the past year while spending among non-Hispanic households remained relatively flat. One in four U.S. consumers planning to buy a home in the next two years is Hispanic. 19.2 percent of all U.S. consumers planning to buy a new or used vehicle in the next 12 months are Hispanic.
