• Adding Cross-Cultural Communications to Your Marketing Strategy  
  
  "Adding Cross-Cultural Marketing to Your Communications Strategy" analyzes various ethnic segments in the U.S. and considerations for marketers in appealing to these segments. Specifically, the paper addresses minority buying power, plus product development, bilingual communications and media selection as part of the solution process for reaching multicultural populations. A link to the podcast, "Marketing to Latino Communities," is included.
  Summary of podcast: Gladis Benavides of Benavides Enterprises discusses the profound influence the Latino community and other ethnic groups have on commerce in America today. Each culture manifests unique buying patterns based on its own traditions that marketers should be aware of. It’s imperative that marketers appeal to these groups, not only with the translated word, but by understanding and translating the culture.

• Redefining Custom Publishing  
  
  Originally considered solely a print medium, custom publishing is evolving so marketers can leverage their investment by deploying it across a broad communications platform. With its highly targeted brand message, it can be effectively delivered when, where and how each individual consumer wants to receive it: print, Web site, e-mail, e-newsletter, webinar, RSS feed, podcast or video. This white paper explores the ways in which the new forms of custom publishing can be combined and deployed to better reach your market and measurably improve your marketing ROI.
  
  
• The Mature Market: Stronger, Smarter, Better than Ever  
  
  This white paper encourages credit union marketers to reexamine their definition of "senior" in order to explore broader marketing opportunities for potentially greater return. In particular, the white paper divides the mature market into three tiers … golden-agers, recent retirees and baby boomers … and identifies characteristics within each that can greatly influence marketing efforts. The paper also discusses the importance of lifestyle-focused content and highlights media options, from custom print publications to e-mail and Web marketing, member programs and seminars, that can help credit unions expand their member base, generate stronger loyalty and build future revenue.
