According to Synovate, a market research company, last year 11.6 percent of the Hispanic population was made up of young girls 0-11 years old with 5 percent between the ages of 12-17 years. This means the growth potential for Latina girls celebrating their coming of age is significant. QuinceGirl.com and Terra.com hope to cater to this market segment together.

The two online companies recently teamed up to share bilingual content and create strategic advertising packages connecting both sites in the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Central America. As part of the agreement the Terra sales team is offering targeted media packages on QuinceGirl.com.

“We are excited to broaden the Quince Girl brand, content and unique online features to Terra’s international audience,” said Will Cain, president of Quince Media, LLC. “Our popular social network, dress gallery, videos, and quinceañera planning articles should provide existing Terra users with a ‘one-stop-shop’ for quinceañera needs and attract new, young visitors to both sites.”

“The Hispanic population is a young and growing market segment that has held on to deeply rooted traditions like the coming-of-age quinceañeras. Terra.com constantly reinvents itself to provide the best and most culturally relevant content,” said Fernando Rodriguez, chief executive officer for Terra Networks. “The addition of QuinceGirl.com’s key target-specific features will work to expand the presence among consumers for both partners.”
