Challenges of Engaging With Latino Businesses

Although Latinos have a $950 billion buying power, half of their disposable income is spent at independent Latino businesses

Latino businesses only buy through familiar relations and trusted sources

Latino small businesses are not open networkers and do not attend networking events

Latino businesses generally lack technical education and are not technologically savvy

What are the opportunities to engage with Latino

businesses? You can become a trusted provider for Latino

businesses. How long do you want to wait?

There is the opportunity to become connected with Latino businesses and become a Latino friendly business

El Club de Comerciantes provides businesses the capacity to tap into the vast and still expanding Latino market
