Multicultural Marketing: In a Weak Economy, This may be the Best Opportunity for Growth. |
 Multicultural marketing isn’t an exact science or process, but it is becoming increasingly more critical as the U.S. consumer markets continue to evolve and grow. Most than 20 years ago, smart corporate marketers had recognized that mass-market consumers (also referred to as “The General Market” or white consumers) were growing at a significantly slower rate than ethnic and other multicultural consumers.

What Women Want: Effectively Marketing to Women |
 Unless you have been stranded on a deserted island since birth, you should know that there are differences between men and women. And while men and women differ in physical, emotional and intellectual attributes, their attractions are also on two separate ends of the marketing spectrum.
Men and women have different tastes, styles, likes and dislikes, and while advertising agencies have realized this, they are still not effectively marketing to women.
Women today are not the same as they were in the 1920s, 1950s or 1980s. Women are sophisticated, intelligent individuals who have jobs of their own, own their own homes and fix their own cars. Women have changed, and it is important to know whom women are in order to effectively market to them.
