Frequently Asked Questions
What is HispanicMPR.com/B2B?
It is a new section within HispanicMPR.com for business
subscribers to communicate with each other directly. On the B2B pages you the
subscriber can share your business and Hispanic market news, information,
opinion and requests directly with each other and our audience. In fact, you
are invited to write and post directly onto the website.

middle to senior executives with interest in general business and Hispanic
market topics.

This is your community. If you like the forum treated it with the respect you would like to see when you visit it. If you see someone abusing their account let us know or volunteer to help monitor the pages to keep inappropriate or rude behavior out. For more information see the Community Guidelines at the top of the page.
What do I do if I see inappropriate content?

What do you do with my information?
We collect aggregate data to better serve our subscribers. We do not give out or sell your information to third parties. For more information see our Privacy Policy at the top of the page.
How do I unsubscribe?

Can I include a video with my post?
At this time we are unable to accept video (or audio) files.
What is the business model for B2B? How can you make money if you don't charge for subscriptions or posts?
The idea is to provide a place where we can all communicate about
business issues. Initially we will cover the set up costs. We hope a few ads
(we appreciate any ads you would like to place) will help keep it running in
the long term.
Who is behind B2B?
Elena del Valle, editor and host of HispanicMPR.com, came up with
the idea. A small South Florida based company provides the infrastructure and
support for the site.
What can I do to help? Do you need volunteers?
Absolutely! We can use all the help we can get.
You can help us make the website a success in three main ways:
Tell your colleagues, clients, and professional friends about it
so they join in the conversation and make it interesting.
The website is designed to run mostly on its own. We trust users will value the forum and keep it nice since it's for their own benefit. We know once the word spreads there are bound to be abusers and can use all the help we can get to identify abuse.
If you have practical, easy-to-implement ideas for ways to improve B2B and subscribers' experience share them with us. We will review them with interest and care.
Thank you!
