consumers several times per year. The quantitative survey is made available
in both English and Spanish with respondents recruited from a research
panel.
 Survey Qualification Criteria:
 Age 18+

 Describe themselves as Hispanic or Latino.
 To insure a consistent and representative sample of U.S. Hispanic adults in
each wave of the Omnibus, quotas are set with respect to:

Key Research Findings
 Hispanic consumers report using their mobile phones most often to aid their
purchase decisions in electronics stores, movie theatres, grocery stores and
clothing stores.
 When shopping in stores with a friend or relative, 60% of Hispanic consumers
report using their phone to help their friend or relative make decisions or
obtain a discount. Sixty percent also report that they were helped by a
friend or relative using a mobile phone to help them.


Using a mobile phone to assist in purchase decisions rises significantly among
Hispanic consumers under age 35, those who speak Spanish at home, those with
medium levels of acculturation, in households with children and in households
with income of $40k or higher.

 Three out of four Hispanic consumers surveyed agree that “advertisements
on cell phones are annoying.” At the same time, a majority agree that they
would be willing to receive advertisements in exchange for lower monthly
costs or additional services and that advertising can provide them with useful
product information.


Men, younger consumers, those who speak Spanish at home, those with medium
acculturation and those with children are more open to receiving advertising on
their mobile phone.
