Last week, we ended part 1 of this two-part series with a quick discussion of the perceived entry barriers to marketing to Hispanics. We now take a brief look at the tactics that marketers use to reach the Hispanic market, and discuss in depth search engine marketing (SEM) as an optimal way of reaching Hispanics.
