The Advantages of Direct Response Marketing to the Hispanic Population

Americans are flooded with advertisements.  In 2007, U.S. advertisers spent an estimated $153.7 billion on advertising.  In addition to television, radio, and print, advertisements also adorn bathroom stalls, coffee mugs, and racecars.  The strategy of many marketers is clear -- target consumers though sheer volume advertising.  Although that approach can be successful in some circumstances, there is a more intelligent and efficient way to reach consumers.  A direct response marketing campaign that targets the U.S. Hispanic population is a prime example of marketing that is both effective and quantifiable.

 

Consider that the 45.5 million Hispanics in the U.S. comprise the nation’s largest minority group.  Additionally, the U.S. Hispanic population is young, projected to sustain continued growth, and is gaining in disposable income and buying power.  A direct response campaign that offers a product or service to the Hispanic market presents several business advantages.

 

Simply stated, reaching out to the Hispanic market can move a business ahead of its competitors now.  The Hispanic market is full of untapped opportunities that many businesses fail to target.  Hispanic buying power in the U.S. will soon reach $1 trillion annually.  However, the Hispanic market can also be broken down into at least five major subgroups: U.S. Hispanic, South American, Central American, Caribbean, and European.  A direct response campaign can be tailored specifically to any, several, or all of these subgroups, each of which has substantial independent buying power.  Few businesses capitalize on such a finely tuned marketing campaign.  The business that does can move ahead of its competitors immediately.

 

In addition to immediate results, investing in direct response marketing focused on the Hispanic market can also pay long-term dividends.  By 2030, one in five people in the U.S. will be Hispanic.  A business that establishes itself in the growing Hispanic market now will not have to later take on an expensive full-blown campaign that markets to an even greater Hispanic population.  Staying ahead of the curve and growing with the Hispanic market gives products and services exposure now and saves money later.

 

Finally, direct response marketing is designed to solicit a specific and quantifiable response from the consumer.  Thus, it offers tangible results so that businesses can accurately measure the effectiveness of a campaign.  Not only is a direct response campaign to the Hispanic market more effective from the start, but its efficiency will only increase as a business tracks its marketing efforts and focuses on the methods that work; those methods that are not as effective can be modified or abandoned.

 

A direct response marketing campaign is effective for start-up businesses that want to focus on the Hispanic market, but also for those that are already established and want to expand into the Hispanic market.  Executing a finely tuned direct response campaign that targets the Hispanic market is a business choice that is superior to generally ineffective and inefficient volume marketing.
