The AHORA Index is a flexible and intelligent way to understand the influence of multiple variables on measuring the opportunity represented by the Hispanic population for a store, market or region. It reveals when and where the moment to recognize this audience is “now.”

“We felt like we were missing out on Hispanic customers. We just weren’t sure where to start. With the AHORA Index, we identified and prioritized exactly where to begin our marketing effort.”

Jim Saladin, VP, Marketing, Ferrellgas

“We indexed 63 stores, not merely in terms of Hispanic population density, but also acculturation and HH income, and revealed 24 highly promising locations.”

AHORA Index Goes Beyond Simple Population Analysis

Many businesses wait for the Hispanic population to hit 51% before recognizing the opportunity. But they may be missing out. By factoring in relevant cultural and behavioral data, the AHORA Index may reveal that a lower Hispanic population is actually more promising than a location with a higher Hispanic population!

The table on the left reflects location ranking by population only. The table on the right shuffles the rankings beyond mere population, to reveal the greatest opportunity.

This location, with a Hispanic population below 51% actually has a promising AHORA Index.
Ranking locations by AHORA Index requires at least one other data variable, such as HH income or presence of children. The index incorporates multiple variables to reflect factors important to each brand.
Location #5 is the fifth highest Hispanic population percentage, but its AHORA index ranks it as the #1 location. It’s time for a deeper look!

Our proprietary algorithm analyzes brand-specific factors selected for your business and precise locations. Each analysis is custom-designed.

Factors include Hispanic acculturation, language preference, country of origin, age, gender, household income, presence of children, homeownership vs rental, plus many more. There are over 100 data variables that can be relevant to your business.

We designed the AHORA Index to take the guesswork out
of Hispanic marketing. It’s a powerful tool that will give
you confidence in where to invest your next dollar.

-Norberto Ayala-Flores, Puente Marketing
