US Hispanics / videos
Hispanics account for 55% of the growth population in the U.S. and 1 out of every 4 babies born in the U.S. are Hispanic, according to BabyCenter. With these types of facts and figures, ignoring this audience would be a huge miss for marketers. Three of the most interesting findings we have uncovered are:
- U.S. Hispanics rely on their mobile phones as the primary way to access the internet. If you are a marketer targeting US Hispanics, an optimized mobile website is a must
- U.S. Hispanics are just as comfortable searching and consuming research information in English as they are in Spanish.
- 64% of U.S. Hispanics visit video sites (versus 50% for the average population). Further 57% of them share videos. Videos is a high engagement vehicle for this audience.
