HM&P Façade_1a_lo-resWhy Market to Hispanics?

Have you ever looked at the U.S. Hispanic consumer base’s lifetime profit margin contribution? (That’s the impact U.S. Latino consumers can have on a company’s bottom line over the course of their lifetime.)

Because the median age of Hispanic consumers in this country is only 27 (vs. 40 for non-Hispanics) and they live to a median age of 83 (compared to 81 for non-Hispanics), the Latino consumer group contributes 56 years of spending, the longest of all consumer groups in the U.S.
