Hispanic Customers for Life book cover

According to researchers, America’s demographic growth in the coming decades will be fueled mostly by emerging markets, especially Latinos. Most of that growth will be the result of U.S.-born Latinos. One author, M. Isabel Valdés, believes Hispanic generational crossover is critical for market segmentation and that the Hispanic market is experiencing its most important socio-demographic and cultural shift since its emergence as a powerful and distinct slice of the United States market.

In her new 194-page hardcover book Hispanic Customers for Life: A Fresh Look at Acculturation (Paramount Market Publishing, $49.95), Valdés explores the Hispanic generational crossover and related issues; and examines data and tools she believes may be useful to manage the generational and acculturation differences of foreign born and U.S. born Latinos. She peppered some of the chapters with charts and advertising case studies.
