SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
A consumer’s cultural and ethnic background helps shape many of their beliefs, opinions and ideas. Making up a large and ever-growing percentage of the U.S. population, Hispanic consumers encompass people from various countries and cultural backgrounds who each hold valuable and insightful information for market research. Companies that specialize in Hispanic research can help uncover insights by providing different multicultural research services. These services include the availability of multilingual researchers and moderators who can help recruit and conduct in-person and other types of research with non-English-speaking consumers, as well as provide access to Hispanic consumers in the United States and in Latin American countries. These specialty research companies understand and can advise on conducting research with consumers from different countries with varying cultural ideas and opinions, providing you with diverse and valuable insights from these unique consumer groups. For assistance in conducting research involving Hispanic consumers, consider these companies.

AmeriSpeak® Panel
(NORC at the University of Chicago)
J. Michael Dennis, AmeriSpeak Executive Director and NORC Senior Vice President
Developed by NORC at the University of Chicago, AmeriSpeak® is a probability-based household panel designed to be representative of the U.S. population. NORC’s AmeriSpeak Latino Panel provides a robust, cost-effective, and scientifically rigorous platform for research on U.S. Hispanic and Latino populations. Key features include extensive sample coverage and superior response rates. Panelists may take surveys by Web or phone, whichever they prefer; multi-mode panels are far better at representing Hispanic and Latino populations than online-only panels. Our English- and Spanish-speaking panel support team provides strong customer service to our panelists, assures cultural sensitivity and privacy and allows clients to conduct their research in both languages without hassle.
