Consumers are telling us what kind of brands they want and these are adapting to their needs, she said.For her part, Sahagun said that a traditional focus is no longer enough. The trend should be to use traditional market strategies and make them adaptable to social media.From the perspective of market info and data, De Armas said that the numbers and statistics guide you but there are other elements that must be considered.The power of the Latina woman was mentioned, a segment that represents the greatest growth and the driving force of new small businesses.
