Latinas in Business on Havi Goffan the genie behind Target Latino

Susana Baumann, the founder of Latinas in Business, is a multicultural marketing expert, business writer and published author. Baumann advocates for Latinos in the United States. She specialized in this market early on, when Hispanic was a “bad word” and companies would disregard the economic power of a burgeoning population..

It is a true distinction and honor for Target Latino to have Susana Baumann select Havi Goffan, our CEO for this exclusive interview published on Latinas in Business.

Just to whet your appetite, we share a few of Latinas in Business interview highlights:

On the Methodology and Algorithms developed by Target Latino in 2004 and 2010

“The Latino market is an ever evolving moving target that companies aim at with varying results. Finding a tool that would uncover the spending habits of your desired Hispanic audience is almost grabbing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Target Latino has long developed a methodology to identify Hispanics online independently of their language or level of acculturation.”

On who is Havi Goffan?

“An 18-year old curious woman about computers in Argentina few decades ago was not a common occurrence –I know because I am from the “pampas” – but rarer if she was interested in applying computer technology to marketing. Whaaaaat?”

“She recognized the power of cultural knowledge as one of the pillars, together with technology and business savvy, in capturing the Hispanic market. “Instead of broadcasting a message to a market that might or might not be interested in what you have to offer, you get ready to be found when they are looking for you,” she explained.”

On Hispanic Inbound Marketing (coined by Havi Goffan after Seth Godin’s “Inbound Marketing” because in Spanish does not truly cover the whole Hispanic market)

“Whatever it is that they are looking for, the Internet has changed the way Latinos decide what to buy and who to buy from. There are only 10 places on Google’s first page. It’s not just about language anymore; it is about culture and relevance,” Havi explained.

The Occasions Group partnered with Lantigua Designs to bring the original Hispanic Christmas cards, both in Spanish and bilingual, to the Latino market through the new retail catalog, Libre-Creación, la base para tus ideas.

“There was a lack of original Latin-flavored product in the Holiday market and a need for bilingual cards. I saw Lantigua Designs’ ideas and knew they were what our market would want to send to their friends and family: Latino Holiday designs made especially for the Hispanic market,” said Havi Goffan.

Lantigua Designs Hispanic Christmas cards are colorful, witty and express the customs of many Latin ethnicities as well as the various traditions they all have in common. The cards are sold through the 30-page catalog, distributed to over 3,000 retailers of The Occasions Group nationwide..

In addition to the Lantigua Designs’ Christmas line, Libre-Creación also has a variety of blank invitations that can be used for baptism, communion, birthdays, anniversary, quinces, wedding and other special occasions. These invitations can be printed and assembled at home, allowing for unlimited creativity and personal expression.

Adweek: Target Latino Formed to Aid Marketers

Target Latino Formed to Aid Marketers

By Tracy Mcreynolds Bostic – ADWEEK

ATLANTA More than 50 Atlanta-area Hispanic agencies and organizations have teamed to launch Target Latino, a community project founded to help corporations learn to properly market to Latinos, sources said.

Target Latino was established this summer by Claudia Goffan, who has experience working with companies such as Xerox Argentina, BellSouth and AT&T. Six metro-Atlanta companies, Gold’s Gym in Norcross, Liberty Mutual Norcross, Echolink Telecom, Party-Plus Atlanta, Nanette Freiman, an independent associate of Prepaid Legal, and Yellow Brick Road Properties, have signed on to participate.

Goffan said her objective in developing Target Latino is to educate marketers and advertisers of the growing market share and buying power of the Hispanic community. “Latinos are going to represent 25 percent of the U.S. population in the near future,” she said. “Companies need to understand the demographics and progress of this growing market.”

Studies conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau show that Atlanta’s Latino population grew by 362 percent between 1990 and 2000. Georgia’s Latino population grew 300 percent during the same period.

“Target Latino is comprised of marketing professionals that will help guide companies in learning how to profit from this new growth market,” said Goffan. “Simply translating marketing materials into Spanish is not a good answer. A complete marketing plan is a better solution.”

Perez Montalbetti Advertising, Sagitauro, the National Society for Hispanic MBAs, the Association of Columbian Professionals in Atlanta and the Latin American Association are among the organizations involved in the project.

Target Latino is hosting a launch party Oct. 10, where participating companies will be presented with marketing plans and strategies, sources said.
