  • Grow with America Best Practices in Ethnic Marketing and Merchandising
    Grow with America Best Practices in Ethnic Marketing and Merchandising A Study Conducted for The Retailing Research Council of North America ® by Cultural Access Group and About Marketing Solutions, Inc. An important note about terminology: The meanings of the words “ethnic” and “mainstream” change over time. One hundred years ago, the majority of people we refer to today when we use the term “mainstream” would have been considered “ethnic”Americans (Italian, Irish, Polish, German). Fifty years from now, it’s likely that the groups referred to in this report will be considered part of the new American “mainstream” as well. Executive Summary Overview The ethnic composition of the American marketplace is changing. Today, nearly one-third of the U.S. population is represented by Hispanics, Asian Americans, and African Americans. By 2040, these groups are projected to represent half of the American marketplace. What significance does this have for food retailers? It means that retailers who compete effectively for these customers will be in a position to profit from this growth.Those who ignore the changing makeup of the marketplace — or make only token efforts — will not find success. The grocery industry is in its infancy with regard to ethnic merchandising. While the industry has successfully created ever-greater efficiencies for decision- making about product assortment, category management, and consumer merchandising, today’s challenge is to develop practices that build flexibility into these organizations to respond to consumers on a local level — to become more market-driven in an increasingly diverse marketplace. This report documents the best practices of retailers who have been the most successful in attracting and retaining ethnic customers.
