Puertas y Ventanas: Reaching the Hispanic Market
Both Hispanic consumers and Hispanic contractors are a major force in the construction industry. But what has risen recently is the need to engage Hispanic labor in building window and door installation crews. Mostly it is the language barrier that makes it difficult to recruit.
Kevin Kilpatrick launched a Constru-Guía al día magazine specifically for the Hispanic Contractor — written in Spanish. His market research provides important insight to the market and useful information on how to reach and engage that market. For example: for instruction, 74% of Hispanic contractors prefer detailed manuals, written in Spanish - yet when using the internet they rely on English - mostly because there is little Spanish written information on the internet.
AWDI makes installation instructions available for the Spanish Market. See sample portal (http://www.wixsys.com/PuertaYVentana.html). We have full manual as well.
