Mexican firm releases new Internet tool for Spanish language campaign measurement

New York, New York – Latin Pulse recently released Latin Pulse Internet Research, a new methodology for quantitatively testing Internet marketing initiatives in Spanish in consumer products, financial services, retail and automobile campaigns. The new Internet research service is designed for marketers who want to quickly test a few ideas at a low overall cost, while obtaining results beyond those offered by traditional focus groups. Costs range between $7,000 to test a few issues and $25,000 for a comprehensive test.

The new system, touted for its projectable data, is similar to the Latin Pulse computer based testing and analysis at central locations, except the data collection methodology uses a national, representative panel of U.S. Hispanic consumers and the results are retrieved over the Internet instead of on-site. Projectable data is obtained with a statistical representative sample of the population.

Company researchers believe respondents’ opinions can be projected to the entire population with a very high degree of certainty equivalent to 90 percent. When Latin Pulse tests an ad among a Hispanic sample, their staff believe the results of the ad test will be similar in approximately 90 percent of Hispanics with similar characteristics to those in the sample.

“Researching U.S. Hispanic consumers cost effectively with projectable sample sizes has always been a major challenge for U.S. companies,” said Mario Quiñones, president, Latin Pulse. “Many tend to use focus groups instead because they are viewed as less expensive than traditional quantitative testing, although these qualitative results can be misleading and actual costs of repeated sessions often become excessive. Reaching and testing Hispanic consumers on the Internet has been a particular problem because of relatively low online incidence and difficulties of ensuring a representative sample. However, we have found the right panel to ensure sufficient Hispanic online users, while continuing to use our unique computer controlled methodology.”

The results can be delivered within six to ten days, depending on the complexity and specifics of the sample. According to a company spokesperson, Latin Pulse Internet Research offers a robust data base which reflects the real marketplace; it is quantitative and projectable; and relies on a representative national panel of Hispanic consumers with varied levels of acculturation.

“The big advantage of the Latin Pulse model for Internet testing among U.S. Hispanics is that a marketer can quickly get reliable test results on select ideas which would be projectable, validated by Latin Pulse norms, and usually less expensive than two to three focus group sessions,” said Jay Gronlund, vice president, U.S. managing director, Latin Pulse USA. 

Latin Pulse is strategic market research firm headquartered in Mexico City. The company is affiliated with AcuPoll from Cincinnati, and has been using its proprietary research technology for new product concepts, advertising copy and other marketing opportunities in Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic market since 2000.

Los Angeles, California – In 2006, according to a Bigresearch study reported on eMarketer, 65 of adults and 74 of teens in the U.S went online while watching TV. Hoping to draw online and TV audiences, Azteca America and Terra Networks have joined to create a co-branded Internet site powered by Terra.com and showcasing Azteca America content via online video. Through the new alliance the companies hope to reach Spanish dominant Latinos who go online while watching television.

The organizers plan to encourage audience interactivity in real time through polls, live chats, and community pages. Site access is via Aztecamerica.com and Aztecaamerica.terra.com.

“This venture is the marriage of two leading players in Hispanic media, and we are excited about synergies going forward,” said Luis J. Echarte, chairman of Azteca America. “Aside from the proven portal management experience, clients have the best of both broadband and broadcast worlds to maximize their brands.”

Under the agreement, Terra Networks will be responsible for hosting and editing content with the collaboration of Azteca America. In addition to displaying TV Azteca’s extensive content, the site is supposed to feature exclusive U.S. Hispanic content including headline video reports from “Noticiero Azteca America,” Azteca’s daily news program.

The new website is expected to have special in-depth features and video clips from “Suegras,” a new Azteca America reality series. Promoters hope the show, coupled with visitor’s online interaction, will drive additional users to the portal.  Online sales for the site will be handled by Terra Networks with coordination for television sales with Azteca America.
 
“Now is the ideal time to leverage the online TV multitasking space, with the majority of U.S. households on broadband,” said Fernando Rodriguez, chief executive officer of Terra Networks. “Terra Networks and Azteca America are delighted to step up to the challenge to create both a compelling user experience for our combined, tech savvy audiences and exciting interactive opportunities for advertisers, such as live chat sponsorships occurring during the TV shows.”

Azteca America is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TV Azteca S.A. de C.V, one of the largest producers of Spanish language television content in the U.S. Terra.com, the U.S. Hispanic arm of the Terra Networks group, provides a portal and services to Spanish speaking users.

Coral Gables, Florida – Music enthusiasts selected Latino pop group RBD winner of Terra.com’s Premios Terra a Lo Mejor de la Música Latina 2006, beating out performers such as Shakira, Thalia and Juanes. Terra.com launched Premios Terra a Lo Mejor de la Música Latina to provide its visitors an online conduit to choose their favorite performer or group from some of the year’s most popular Latino entertainers. RBD received 41,902 votes in the 2006 online competition which drew close to 100,000 votes.

According to Wikipedia, the Mexican group RBD was formed relatively recently as part of a teen high school band within the Spanish-language telenovelaRebelde” which aired from October 2004 through June 2006. The group has soared in popularity, producing five top-selling, Spanish language CDs. This year’s favorite on Terra.com hopes to conquer English speaking audiences with Rebels, the group’s recent crossover debut album. Other artists who received high percentages of online votes include David Bisbal and Ricky Martin.

“Terra.com’s Music Channel has always been very popular due to in depth coverage and exclusive interviews with top entertainers. We are delighted to see such a high number of votes, and congratulate RBD. RBD is a relative newcomer in comparison to other candidates, yet our audience is fully aware of their talent and potential. This is a story in itself,” said Fernando Rodriguez, chief executive officer of Terra Networks.

Terra.com executives believe the selection of RBD as the 2006 winner is a reflection of the increase in audience feedback among Hispanic youth. And, that the six figure vote count from Terra’s three year old contest, is an indication of how subsequent generations of Internet users may embrace new media. The contest was established by Monica Godoy, Terra.com’s Music Channel editor.

Voting for the 2007 winner is under way. The portal is set to welcome music fans seeking information about the competition, the contestants and winner, 2006 highlights and how vote for music performers or bands for 2007.

Terra Networks is a global Internet group with a presence in the U.S. and Latin America. The group operates websites in the United States, Spain and Latin America. Terra.com is the U.S. Hispanic arm of the Terra Networks group, providing a portal and services to Spanish speaking users.

Coral Gables, Florida – Launched in the U.S. in 1973, Cosmopolitan en español is turning over a new page by partnering with Spanish-language Internet portal Terra Networks. Together they hope to create an interactive magnet for the lucrative 18-34 Hispanic women demographic. This partnership comes after a year of planning and exploring magazine coupled with online advertising campaigns among several of the Editorial Televisa publications. As a result, Terra Networks was selected to provide an online destination for Cosmopolitan en español.

Organizers hope to boost the number of readers accessing the magazine online via the Mujer (Woman) channel on Terra.com or directly through the magazine’s website. Plans include RSS feeds from the monthly print edition, frequent updates and Internet-only services including pertinent market research. Organizers hope special sweepstakes, promotions and reader survey polls will also generate traffic to the website.

“Terra’s Mujer audience and Cosmopolitan en español’s readers share numerous characteristics,” said Fernando Rodriguez, CEO of Terra Networks. “They are young, independent, fun-loving women. We plan to engage them with dynamic content, entertain them with videos and photo galleries, and guide them to form new or join pre-existing social networking communities.”

Dynamic Logic research from November 2006 indicates 39 percent of Terra’s Mujer audience is college educated and 63 percent of these visitors are online at least once per day.

“We are so excited about this partnership,” said Marinos Duarte, publisher, Cosmopolitan en español. “To know that we will be able to stretch our events and programs beyond the print medium and grow them via a portal such as Terra Networks definitely makes for a successful partnership.  I am confident that the Cosmo woman will be pleased with everything we are offering her in 2007.”

According to promotional materials, Cosmopolitan en español readers are loyal and love the magazine. They spend an average of almost one hour and a half with the magazine and read it an average of 4.8 times; and 61 percent of readers reportedly saved all or some of the last issue they read.

The Cosmopolitan en español Readership Study, conducted by Simmons Custom Research September 2006, indicates the magazine readers’ age is about 33. They are highly educated. About 61 percent attended or graduated from college. They are more than twice as likely as the average Hispanic to have purchased items on the Internet in last 12 months.

Cosmopolitan en español is a monthly magazine published as part of a joint venture with The Hearst Corporation.  Terra Networks is a global Internet group with a presence in the U.S. and Latin America. Terra.com is the U.S. Hispanic arm of the Terra Networks group.
