10 Things You Can Take Before You Take My Internet

It’s no wonder that so many people are finding great solace in the use of the internet, as there is virtually nothing you can’t find online. Whether you are in need of information, news, classified sales, or some entertainment to pass the time, you can find a wealth of sites online that have just what you need. In all actuality, there are many things the internet is beginning to replace, with several people finding the great convenience of the web to be more than amazing and nearing on stellar. Whether you are saving a great deal of gas by shopping online or just taking care of bills to save a frantic jaunt around town, the internet serves as a multi-functional tool that can quickly take the place of many things. If you think to yourself just “what are 10 things you can take before you take my internet”, you will find that you could do without a lot to ensure that the internet is still available.


1.Cable. When it comes to cable, there isn’t anything that is offered for the lower cost plans that you can’t find online. In fact, sites today offer instant television streams that allow you to have your shows on-demand. If it comes to the battle between your internet and your cable service, cable may be a bit shy on the competition.
2.Home phone. The landline phone is infamous in history as one of the most common and utilized methods for communication dating back several decades, however, with cell phones and the internet introduced into the communication arena, it is difficult to place the home phone on hiatus against these new technologies that can be mobile and also provide a great deal more flexibility and options.
3.Video games. The internet is a great hub for all that is video game related, with the option to play PC games that are offered on video game consoles. If you had to choose between video games or the internet, there is so much more to the internet that it quickly reigns supreme in the competition.

Engaging Latinos – The Role Your Digital Strategy Should Play

By Gustavo Razzetti, ClickZ.


When planning their Hispanic digital strategy, many companies tend to use a three-phased approach:


1.Create a basic Spanish version of the website.
2.Full blast Spanish site in terms of content and functionality.
3.Develop specific Hispanic digital platforms.
The problem is that, as with many phased plans, if you don't see immediate results, chances are phase three will never come to happen. And that's truer of Hispanic online than any other marketing program.


Language cannot be the driver of your digital strategy nor can it be content by itself. Brands must understand Latino's realities and provide experiences that go beyond a "Spanish version."

Courting Hispanic Customers With Texts and Web Sites en Español

By Tanzina Vega, The New York Times.


AS the Hispanic population in the United States continues to grow, major advertisers are seeking new ways to attract Hispanic customers. These advertisers are increasingly trying to deliver their message in Spanish through Web sites, special sites for mobile phones and texting campaigns.


“What we’re seeing is clients who are looking for growth outside their normal market, and often that market speaks a different language,” said Charles Whiteman, senior vice president of client services for the MotionPoint Corporation, a company that offers Web site translation services for marketers. “If we’re serious about targeting this consumer, this target market, we need to speak their language.”


The company, which translates Web site content into 34 languages, uses a combination of technology and humans for its translations. The technology allows the company to automatically update Web sites within 24 hours if any changes are made to the content, and provides companies with basic Web data on topics like the time users spend on a site and whether purchases increase after a change is made to the text on the page.

U.S. Online Hispanic Consumers More Likely to Have Positive Association With Advertising Than Non-Hispanics Online

comScore to Host Complimentary Webinar, 'A Closer Look at the U.S. Hispanic Online Audience'


Download image RESTON, Va., Nov. 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- comScore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today released results of a study of U.S. Hispanic consumers, including insights into their online behavior and engagement with advertising. The study found that U.S. online Hispanic consumers' sentiment towards, and response to, advertising often varies significantly from Non-Hispanic online consumers, providing critically important insights for brands looking to reach and engage this dynamic consumer segment. These findings among others will be presented by comScore chief research officer Josh Chasin in a live, complimentary webinar, A Closer Look at the U.S. Hispanic Online Audience, on Thursday, November 18. For more details and to register, please visit:


https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/454994185




"The U.S. Hispanic online marketplace is a fast growing and potentially lucrative sector that marketers cannot ignore," said Josh Chasin, comScore chief research officer. "Online Hispanics are younger and more acculturated than their offline counterparts and they are quite receptive to advertising when it is sufficiently engaging. What's especially interesting is that engagement with advertising has more to do with narrative elements and storytelling than it does with actually running the advertisement in Spanish."


U.S. Hispanics Online More Receptive to Advertising than Non-Hispanics Online


A look at U.S. online Hispanic consumer sentiment and engagement with advertising revealed often dramatic differences when compared with Non-Hispanic online consumers. U.S. Hispanics were more likely to find advertisements enjoyable and entertaining than their Non-Hispanic counterparts. Specifically, 48 percent of U.S. Hispanic consumers expect advertising to be entertaining and 31 percent enjoy watching advertisements, compared to 39 percent and 19 percent of Non-Hispanics. Hispanics were also more likely to recall advertising, with 35 percent stating they remembered advertised products when shopping, compared to 22 percent of Non-Hispanics. Advertising was also more likely to influence Hispanic consumers' product decisions when buying for their children with 30 percent stating that advertising helped them choose products to buy for their children, compared to 15 percent of Non-Hispanics.

Five Things Mark Lopez Should Do At Google

By Lee Vann, MediaPost.

Last week, Google made a really smart move and hired Mark Lopez to head its U.S. Hispanic efforts. I was thrilled when I saw the announcement. I was not only happy for a good friend, but I also felt that the U.S. Hispanic online market had finally come of age. By hiring one of us to spearhead its Hispanic efforts, the Internet giant has officially recognized the importance of the Hispanic market.


During the past 10 years, I have often reflected on the opportunity that Google was missing in the Hispanic market. Google enjoys unprecedented reach and proprietary insights about the U.S. Hispanic online market that I am sure Mark will leverage to the benefit of both marketers and Google.


According to comScore Media Metrix, in January 2010, Google was the most popular online property among Hispanics, reaching 18.5 million of them or 78% of the U.S. Hispanic online market. What's more, Google's partnerships with popular Spanish-language websites such as Univision, AOL Latino, Terra and Starmedia firmly embed them into the browsers of Hispanics. Millions of Hispanics interact with Google's products and services every day, giving Google access to insights about their unique online behavior.

Movistar Chile receives Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award

The Company received the 2010 Chile Mobile Services Market Share Leadership Award

Download image SAO PAULO, Nov. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Movistar Chile has been presented with the prestigious Frost & Sullivan Chile Market Share Leadership Award in the Mobile Services Markets as a result of a recent and rigorous research process. Based on the findings of this Best Practices research, this award recognizes Movistar's accomplishments in the Chilean market.


Movistar is the market leader in the Chilean mobile services market and has managed to maintain its position for over many years. The company has been successful in leveraging its position as a fixed-telephony company, offering fixed-mobile telephony packages and recently Wi-Fi fixed broadband together with mobile broadband. In 2009, the company led the market both in terms of subscribers and revenues, with a share of more than 40%.


For the Market Share Leadership Award, Frost & Sullivan used several criteria to benchmark Movistar's performance against key competitors, analysing the main drivers that allowed the company to reach the top position in the market. One very important aspect was the continued investment in 3G network expansion, as a strategy to increase mobile data services revenues. Movistar has little opportunities to further penetrate the market by acquiring new clients, as it already shows a very high penetration level. In 2009, the company invested nearly $200.0 million, mainly in 3G network expansion, which helped the company to increase revenues, to leverage ARPU and to pave loyalty with existing clients through mobile data services.


The company has also been successful in leveraging its position as a fixed-telephony company, offering fixed-mobile telephony packages and recently Wi-Fi fixed broadband together with mobile broadband. In Chile, Movistar is the leader not only in the mobile market, but also in fixed telephony services, a position that gives the company a strong opportunity to benefit from fixed-mobile services convergence. The unification process of its fixed (Telefonica CTC) and mobile operations (Movistar) constitutes a strong movement towards convergence, both in the internet and the telephony market, not to mention all cost-reduction and operational efficiencies resulting from the organizational synergy.


"All of these actions are helping Movistar to capture opportunities with the fixed-mobile convergence trend in Chile, and is reflected in its subscriber and revenue market leadership in the country," explains Jose Roberto Mavignier, industry manager for Frost & Sullivan's Information & Communication Technologies practice in Latin America.


Movistar's strong portfolio of devices, combined with the value-added services provided also contributed significantly to a competitive offer when compared to its most important competitors in the market. These factors play a paramount role in terms of solidifying perception of diversity and innovation for clients, stimulating consumption and impacting ARPU.


Movistar will be receiving the award during the 2010 Frost & Sullivan Latin America Best Practices Excellence Banquet, to be held December 2nd, at the Renaissance Hotel in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Frost & Sullivan, the Growth Partnership Company, enables clients to accelerate growth and achieve best-in-class positions in growth, innovation and leadership.
