The Media Perspective

A. Eicoff & Company3434
DRTV Media Buying to Reach Hispanics
Similarities• Negotiate lowest possible spot cost whether local or
national• Commercial delivery dates are similar to Anglo stations,
however that depends on where the station is located (i.e., Puerto Rico requires longer lead time to get through U.S. Customs)
• National cable & satellite buys are most efficient for the Hispanic market vs. spot
A. Eicoff & Company3535
Key Differences in Hispanic Media Buying
• Regionally, individual DMA concentrates where Hispanic populations are exploding
• DRTV spot costs are much lower for Hispanic media vs. Anglo, particularly on national cable networks
• Hispanic media representatives are much more willing to negotiate bonus and lower rates
• Some additional education may be necessary at station level on DRTV, expected preemption levels
