 Jennifer Lopez And Other Hispanic-Americans May Buy More Flowers Than Other Minority Populations
 
 Article Description:
 ============
 
 Jennifer Lopez is arguably one of the most recognizable
 Hispanic-American women in the world. And she's in good company
 since it's estimated that people of Hispanic descent make up
 14.5 percent of the population in the United States. With so many
 people in this demographic, it's not surprising to hear that
 Hispanic Americans are poised to become the nation's most
 powerful group of minority consumers.

 Jennifer Lopez And Other Hispanic-Americans May Buy More Flowers Than Other Minority Populations

 Jennifer Lopez is arguably one of the most recognizable
 Hispanic-American women in the world. And she's in good company
 since it's estimated that people of Hispanic descent make up
 14.5 percent of the population in the United States. With so many
 people in this demographic, it's not surprising to hear that
 Hispanic Americans are poised to become the nation's most
 powerful group of minority consumers.
 
 Every year the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business
 combines forces with the Selig Center to conduct a study
 concerning the economic power of a variety of population groups.
 This year's study found that since 1990, Hispanic consumers'
 economic power has increased from $212 billion to $798 billion.
 That puts them second only to the African-American consumer
 population, whose power rose from $318 billion to $799 billion in
 the same time period. Economic power, as defined by the study, is
 the amount of money an individual has to spend on products and
 services after taxes.
 
 With so much buying power, it's not surprising that many
 businesses, including the flower business, are beginning to gear
 portions of their products and marketing toward the Hispanic
 population. That certainly makes good sense.
 
 A new market many florists are beginning to turn to is helping
 Hispanic Americans celebrate their daughters' Quinceanera, which
 is a party thrown for a girl's fifteenth birthday. Such parties
 have become so popular in states with high Hispanic populations,
 like Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Florida, that
 families sometimes spend as much as $80,000 on a party.
 
 Isabel Albuerne, known as the Event Lady of Naples, Florida, told
 the New York Times, "We have seen a lot more of the bigger
 productions. The Hispanic community treats it this way: I have
 one or two daughters. She may get married several times but a
 '15' happens only once. It's once in a lifetime. And there is
 no other half giving an opinion. It is the mom, the dad, and the
 girl. You spend $40,000 on a wedding and in a year you are
 divorced."
 
 With money like that being spent on Quinceanera parties, it would
 be a wise choice for florists to spend some time developing their
 products and services for the Hispanic community. After all, you
 just never know when Jennifer Lopez will have her own daughter
 and one day need all the finery and flowers for a Quinceanera
 party!
