Latino Brand Loyalty Study
The Reality of Latino Brand Loyalty
Since the advent of targeted marketing of the U.S. Latino market back in the 1970s, we have often heard the debate on the issue of Latino brand loyalty. The question we asked ourselves was "What is the reality of Latino brand loyalty?" Are we more loyal, less loyal or just average consumers? Of course, the answer is not a simple yes or no.
A New Brand Loyalty Model
The study reveals that brand loyalty among Latinos within key product categories is related to the relative
position of the Latino respondent on the acculturation spectrum. This has great implications for marketers as
they target both new and established brand names in this community.
The CAG brand loyalty model is an exclusive program developed by the organization's senior researchers. This
proprietary tool is based on the responses from nearly 1,000 survey participants across a broad array of product
categories. The model factors key indicators of consumer affinity to brands; data points are correlated to ten
consumers. response sets.
Responses to these questions are scored and results place respondents at a point on a brand loyalty spectrum. Included
in the response set are the study Power Questions - these attributes that are most indicative of a consumer.s affinity
for brands within each category.
Applying the brand loyalty spectrum to study respondents will allow marketers to understand their strengths and
weaknesses by demographic breaks and most importantly by acculturation level. Identifying these target consumers
creates strategic opportunities to reach the truly brand loyal customer.
