Marketing to the Hispanic Consumer
30m · PublishedOur guest on this episode is marketing specialist Rey Hernandez. He explains the nuances of the Hispanic customer base. He shares secrets for creating culturally relevant marketing plans that will become increasingly critical as the population becomes more diverse and the buying power of U.S. Hispanics becomes even more significant.
I share some information from a couple of great internet articles on the topic too. The Nielsen company recently released a report called the “State of the Hispanic Consumer: The Hispanic Market Imperative.” Forbes magazine also ran a recent article on the topic entitled “Don’t Sell to Me! Hispanics Buy Brands that Empower Their Cultural Relevancy.” Both are excellent resources on the topic. You should check them out.

Reinventing a Company's Brand for the New Economy
31m · PublishedJoin us as we talk with Kent Rylee and his marketing director Stephanie Orman as they share key steps they took in reinventing and rebranding the business. The name change was a minor detail. The major work was in operations and marketing of the company. With an experienced and highly skilled support and technical staff, Kent and his business partner Darrell Bone worked on streamlining the company, developing the auto parts business, and evolving the used car operation.
Gone were the co-op dollars that manufacturers and franchises provide to assist with advertising costs. And at the same time, how people shopped for used cars was changing. Stephanie had to look for guerrilla marketing techniques that would fit her reduced advertising budget and reach all the customers who shop for cars today on the internet.
You’ll learn the details of how they used focus groups to engage their existing customers and how the management team and the employees stepped up to re-launch this business.
